Guys, stop with this nonsense of the tablet form, this is not a tablet.
Are you saying this...
Is going to compete with this?
Do you think children don't have taste?
The idea is good but I won't be convinced this is the best design they could have done. It look hideous.
Not system relevant.

Stereo camera.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND.

Reminds me of the GBA Micro announcement a bit. But yeah, seems pretty cool for little kids. If you don't want it you could just get a 3DS for a little more.
I could see a graphing calculator styled snap on cover being useful.....
I love living in the EU
This is going to confuse the HELL out of normal people.
The cake is a lie
It's properly not meant to be a universal portable device. it looks more like a handheld for indoors. You still have the options between the other handhelds versions.It's a portable that will totally fit in a child's pocket.
For things like Face Raiders and AR.ok WHY does it need dual cameras on the back?
There's a gif floating around in the thread with someone holding it, looks workable.Do you need to be a giant to use the dpad and shoulder buttons at once?
AR requires two cameras to measure distances.Keeping the 2 cameras on the back to take 3D pictures you can't even view just kills me.
Not really. Two screens shouldn't be at the same angle.The design is fine.
I've been waiting since launch for a redesign....
The cake is a lie
This is a valid point, because the 2DS system isn't as easy to break, 3D also isn't that good for five-year-olds and the price point is lower.Were always thinking about what we can do thats new, unique, different, and brings more people into this category that we love, Fils-Aime said. And so with the Nintendo 3DS, we were clear to parents that, hey, we recommend that your children be seven and older to utilize this device. So clearly that creates an opportunity for five-year-olds, six-year-olds, that first-time handheld gaming consumer."

Jebus, this even worse than Nvidia Shield design.. dammit I want 130 bucks 3DS
Its ugly as fuck...but the parents on tight budget and that compare the pricer 3DS to tables will give them an incentive. This console is not for hardcore gamers. Its entry level. I think its a fantastic idea that can give them some additional and much needed leverage. Consider it the 'iPad Mini" perhaps?
I agree stump, but in going with the mindset of recapturing an audience conditioned to tablet form factors, wouldn't it have been wise to join the displays together and have a row of blank pixels act as a seperator? Yeah the ratios of both screens are different, but I feel like this idea could have been executed a little more elegantly.
Thoughts?

All you have to do is not buy it and buy the regular one.
Will the games now say....
