Because U have the control

Indeed. Iwata is now going to announce that they'll also drop the Wii U and any current support for all of the active consoles and will make a new system called the Raw Power System! It will be a complex 512-bit system that can display nearly 28 million colors at once and will have the ability to play EVERY game system ever. It will also have a mini band inside the system to play music, and the launch title for the system would be Super Mario Bros 24, better known as Super Mario Galaxy! You can also buy a chip that will allow you to make your own games for it! It will launch at the price of 259.95 US dollars and its controller will feature 27 buttons!AceBandage said:I thought Iwata already announced that at the investor meeting.
Graphics Horse said::lol
An XL 3DS would be pretty neat, using the DSiXL as a base, it would make the top screen 4.9 inches!
And the right analog would still be small just to annoy people.
You'd also be able to fit a battery the size of a whole DSlite in there.
Absolutely
-Pyromaniac- said:You guys would buy that? Stop lying. There is incessant bitching about the current 3DS battery life, I can't even imagine how much more power that one would eat. If you get 3 hours now maybe you'll get 1 hour out of that.

I was talking about the made up Nintendo system.Lupin the Wolf said:Spaceballs?
Wasn't that from an old Nintendo Power or something? Some kid wrote in his predictions during the SNES era and they reprinted it after Super Mario Galaxy came out saying he predicted the future.qq more said:Indeed.

Myansie said:I love that mock up of the 3DSXL. Definitely would.
I like how they put the inside camera on the hinge.
I wonder if the resolution will become a problem at that screen size? I'd love to see them add a chip to give it some post AA, similar to the thread on Gaf where people were running their PS3/360 through a PC.

Crisis said:If 01Net is correct in their claims, I think Nintendo would take this "relaunch" pretty far. Like, REALLY far. So here's my predictions for a redesign:
- No 3D at all. They caught some negative attention for "causing headaches" (not saying that's true or not) and for being potentially damaging for younger eyes. They could easily take out the 3D aspect of the 3DS and not lose much in the way of gameplay. Maybe even save money on the hardware and sell it inexpensively.
- Two analog pads
- I don't think they understand how online gameplay actually works so I don't think they'll have a good, unified friends system that doesn't suck yet. It'd be ideal, but I don't think they'll have it.
- Completely new name. And I mean completely.
- New marketing strategy to go with the new name. Rebrand all the games and accessories that work with both 3DS and NewDS to NewDS. Advertise the NewDS as backwards-compatible with the 3DS stuff.
I missed this lineDCharlie said:Maybe this is why foreigners aren't invited to the show on tuesday? if people are going to throw shoes, you want petite Japanese sized boots, not the US / Euro size 14+
AceBandage said:I seriously can't see them dropping 3D. Less focus on it, maybe, but dropping it all together makes no sense. There's just no need to drop it. It's still a neat gimmick and still has some appeal.
I also can't see them changing the name. That would just create MORE market confusion. They're fine with the 3DS name, they just need to market it better.

1-D_FTW said:Finally played a 3DS kiosk that had a Zelda demo on it. With the slider cranked to 100 percent, that's what I was expecting from the system on Day 1. This should have been their showcase kiosk title from Day 1. None of this subtle crap that's barely discernible.
I really wanted to see Zelda too. If they would have had this out months ago, I would have absolutely bit on the Walmart 2 day glitch of 169.99 and Ambassador status.
Obviously, it's too late to tempt me now. Clearly a new model will be coming within 6 months and it'd be crazy to jump in now. Maybe by then, some of these games like OoT and StarFox will have had some Bomba sales and I'll just stock up ahead of time.
StevieP said:I don't think so, Tim
1-D_FTW said:We'll see. But I'm inclined to believe the 01.net rumors and there's no way they're going to let this linger past the Holiday seasons. Expect it to be announced early Q1 and on shelves by March.
So this is what you've spun it down to now, Stevie? It's just a peripheral for Monster Hunter? It's an official Nintendo accessory. You're in denial.StevieP said:I'm inclined to believe this is a peripheral for Monster Hunter, and if there is some kind of redesign it will be an XL of the current model to increase battery life (not add dual analog). And that won't happen anytime soon, short of the 3DS completely bombing this holiday season. But at this point, we only have the fact there's an analog stick peripheral coming out for Monster Hunter, nothing more.
A peripheral for Monster Hunter that other studios have gotten their hands on. Lack of a second slider was a serious design flaw, but one that I thought Nintendo would have to stick by. Now they introduce this and all the rules change in regards to handhelds. If more developers utilize this peripheral, there's a very good chance a redesign would incorporate it. And I have no words to describe how angry I would be if that happens. Ten NES and ten GBA games don't make up for that bullshit.StevieP said:I'm inclined to believe this is a peripheral for Monster Hunter, and if there is some kind of redesign it will be an XL of the current model to increase battery life (not add dual analog).

PSGames said:They are already losing money on the current system. If they do release a revision I would bet that it's a second sku and doesn't replace the existing 3DS. They will have 2 versions on the market. One smaller, cheaper and lacks 2nd analog. The other larger, more expensive with the second analog built-in.
StevieP said:So was the Wii wheel? Hell so was Motionplus. How many games outside of WSR/Zelda require it?
Accessory = peripheral.
Until Nintendo comes out and says otherwise, the fact is that it's a peripheral (accessory) for Monster Hunter. And an optional one, at that, because Famitsu says the touchscreen can be used instead as well.
