Oh my God... I know what Nintendo is doing... It is all so clear now.

I'd prefer comfort over convenience.

Nintendo is about to repeat one of its greatest mistakes of video game history.

Think about it: there was only one other Nintendo console that was only semi-portable. One that was too big and clunky to be considered a true portable console, but marketed it as a feature. One that also sold the AC adapter unit separately from the console. One that also boasted a "true" 3D visual effect. One that launched EXACTLY 20 years ago this year. One that LAUNCHED IN ONLY TWO COLORS: RED AND BLACK:



It is so clear now...

I can see your point, Olimar, but odds are good you're in the minority here. Everybody I know who owns some version of the 3DS all agree that the XL version is way better in every respect.

Besides, who puts things in their pants pockets?

[FierceDeity]

I mean, I'd personally like to actually be able to fit it in my pockets (and I can't), if only for the streetpass capability when I'm not carrying a backpack. On the other hand, most times I'd wanna do that I'm already wearing a backpack, so eh. It'd be nice of them to show equal consideration to both those who care and those who don't, at the very least.

I think a large amount of Nintendo's customers don't really put these in their pockets. People who buy the 3DS who are older than kids with fancy carrying cases would want to put it in their pockets, because street pass is a thing that older kids (14+) would take advantage of (since kids 13 and younger have the parental advisories)

I have an iPhone 6 Plus with a thickish case and it fits fine in my pocket (which is slightly smaller than the 3DS XL).

I have the old Zelda 3DS from when OoT 3D came out and I still love it. I'm probably not going to upgrade unless the new games warrant it. I really have no need for 2 systems.

Heh, so the leak was true after all...

[KefkaticFanatic]

The news post sounds suspiciously like a wishlist though.... so we'll see.  If they do announce "replacement" games that will be neat indeed, but they should have waited to announce Zelda with this if that's really the case o.O

APRIL FOOL'S

did you even read the image

[SlowPokemon]

My guesses: New Nintendo 3DS for release (normal size), Star Fox, and new Animal Crossing for Wii U in the fall.

"Some of the rumors include Splatoon amiibo, new footage of the next Star Fox game, and a new Wii U game in which players take on the role of Bowser"

p believable.

Pandora's Tower is a really excellent Wii title and if this rumour is true I highly recommend getting it

I'd really like to see the Bowser game. It'd be a nice way of reinventing the Mario formula imo.

[SlowPokemon]

Bowser's Inside Story was so acclaimed because you were playing as Bowser for 50% of the game imo. Playing as Bowser was incredibly cool.
