That shitty lowres gamepad has to go. If they made a better version wich was also a handheld... But then again, wiiu is dead, so better come with a new console + gamepad/handheld. Remote play yoo
wut when did I say otherwise? I think if this is anything and its not the QoL thing; it's definetly a WiiU revision
I just highly doubt it's a 3DS successor in comparison

It does if all you need is duct tape.
(Totally kidding please don't ban me)
Can't believe people are happy for it to be a new console. Sure it'd be very exciting if it was, but at the same time, I'd have such massive disrespect for Nintendo, probably way past the level for MS already, ha ha, and would probably find it very hard to trust them again if they're just gonna ditch a console that isn't going how they'd like after 2 years.
A higher res Gamepad would be cool thinking about it... (A new console wouldnt be needed for that hopefully...), could be a little less heavier too. A new 3DS (Similar to a DSi I guess?), is possible, but I don't know how that'd be justified seeing the 3DS is already geared for updates and whatnot, depends what the addition/change could be, done far too many 3DS revisions as it is really though. Simply a OG 3DS Slim would work too, but would be boring to me.
Wii U revision would be more interesting, but don't really see the point of it.

It sure was suicide when they released the DS when the GBA was only 3 and a half years old. The DS sold sooo poorly, am I right?

Why would they(Investor's Meeting) say they are going to focus on the Gamepad then???

Put it this way if the highly unlikely happened,new revised hardware with better third party support I could be there day one. This is the first gen for me that I haven't bought Nintendo hardware.
My bet - They'll introduce a new 3DS model and get rid of the OG 3DS, which at this point looks out of place in the 3DS line up.
They're not going to succeed the Wii U this early, they're still holding onto Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros and more the keep it afloat. Announcing something new now would kill it dead.
I don't think they'll succeed the 3DS either, though there is a suspicious lack of first party releases on the horizon. Tomodachi and Smash Bros is about it, and that's just till the end of summer. However, the announcement of Monster Hunter 4 coming west in 2015 would be a strange choice if a new console is releasing before, or around the same time as then.

Remember how nobody bought any Nintendo consoles after the virtual boy flopped and got ignored?
I think it's way too early for an other (new) console. However, hardware could mean anything.
Whatever it is, I wish Nintendo good luck with it. Their current view, of the game industry, isn't the best and I hope they do sth about it. They are a great company and deserve better.

People said they were focusing on a more QoL direction but I can't see that happen this early since they announced that less then 6 months ago. Unless this has been cooking for awhile.
It's going to be a rebranding and some sort of hardware update. Maybe it is related to QoL stuff but I can't see it happening this early

Blame Sony. The PSP announcement got Nintendo into a reactionary stance: one that turned in solid gold.
This is no longer the Nintendo that reacted to that announcement.

I would like to point out that I have not seen a regular 3DS on store shelves in months.

My friend said his dad works at Nintendo and that they have a N64 2.
It's probably that.

QOL is probably what it will be if true
EH? We don't need a 3DS consumer burnout. We need a Wii U burnout if anything. The 3DS is doing so well.
Wouldn't that be heavy?

Don't think it's what people think it is.
Well, at least it isn't the succesor to the Wii U. The Mario Kart 8 marketing just got into full swing.
If anything, there is a possibility of the successor the 3DS (We've only gotten one Pokemon game and it's almost time for a successor, pretty crazy) or a redesign.

A next gen WiiU would be good if they want to get that third party support back.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
All Byo2 footage so far's been from the device they'll unvail at this E3? Whoa!
3DSi, built from the ground up with NNIDs and Miiverse completely integrated into the OS. Friend Codes gone forever. Faster CPU and more RAM, which can be used by 3DSi-enhanced games. Better cameras. Second analogue slider, and two extra shoulder buttons, which together act as a Circle Pad Pro in supported games. Can be used as a Wii U controller.

Featuring 10 minute battery life. Seriously, that gamepad only gets like 5 hours tops without all the wii u internals inside.
This is what I'm thinking as well. I mean, come on. They are not about to hype up Mario Kart 8, release a new bundle and then go into E3 and drop the hammer on everyone who just bought one and say, "Surprise! Now buy our new system... coming next year!"
