Updating hardware is pretty much all they can do.

It opens up a portal from this Earth of 3D to one of 4D or 5D.

Those buttons are horrifying.

Let's hope they don't pull crazy shit like that.

I mean tablets are popular what of they followed that? I doubt it would happen but god damn it's a scary thought.

I honestly can't say what Nintendo is going to do. Maybe try some better VR.

>>255849335
nintendo made console with screen worse than PSP in favor of pointless gimmick that lovers framerate and dont affect gameplay. Nintendo is cancer of industry, they never about innovation or quality, but more about gimmicks, outdated hardware and shitting in customers mouth.

They'll probably give a XL inspired design with updated hardware, keep the dual screens and remove the 3D feature

At this point I'd settle for an E-Shop that doesn't suck fat chodes.

Another 3DS with no 3D feature, generally updated hardware, another circle pad, hopefully a better start/select placement (seriously no game uses select), and much higher resolution

I'm not sure if they would up the res or hardware that much, though, we might get another "We made the Wii and it's barely more powerful than the gamecube" scenario

>>255850197
Even today nintendo still follows gunpei yokoi's ideas.

Here's a quick quote
"Yokoi articulated his philosophy of "Lateral Thinking of Withered Technology" (???????????, "Kareta Gijutsu no Suihei Shik?") (also translated as "Lateral Thinking with Seasoned Technology") in the book, Yokoi Gunpei Game House (???????? Yokoi Gunpei G?mu-kan?), which consists of a collection of interviews. "Withered technology" in this context refers to a mature technology which is cheap and well understood. "Lateral thinking" refers to finding radical new ways of using such technology. Yokoi held that toys and games do not necessarily require cutting edge technology; novel and fun gameplay are more important. In the interview he suggested that expensive cutting edge technology can get in the way of developing a new product."

It isn't always about the best of the best. If you can make money off of older tech that is easier to work with then why not?

>>255849610

>>255849335
Take a 2DS, replace the vertically mounted 800x480 screen with a 1280x800 screen, remove the extra bits covering the screen, add a second analog slider, bump the hardware up from OpenGL ES 1.1 to OpenGL ES 2 or 3, and switch the game card sizes from 1-2-4GB to 4-8-16GB.

Too bad all that power is ruined by a concentration on gimmicks and single-point touch.

I hope they don't do the 2 screen bullshit again. I'm tired of losing money on the hardware, and battery life because nintendo needs a gimmick, making it so that every game I play has a map, or just the game's logo displayed constantly

>>255850757
>It isn't always about the best of the best. If you can make money off of older tech that is easier to work with then why not?

It was always about the games. But all that was before mobile gaming though. Nintendo's profits and market share will continue to decline.

>>255850197
Careful with that edge, you fucking faggot.

Better yet make the screen Portrait so that mobile can be easily ported. Also DS/3DS could still be backwards compatible.

Because there are more important things than just making more money.

Also, these "radical" ways of using new technology are fucking stupid. How does the fake 3D increase gameplay enjoyment?

>>255849335
Nintendo plans to integrate their next home console and next portable console into one device.

Source: That investor meeting that revealed amiibos for the first time and talked about jumping the technology gap to catch up to Sony and MS next gen.

So basically it's going to have the power of a home console while still being able to be taken on the go.

>>255850332
There are literally zero games on the 3DS that require a right analog stick.

>>255850916
That is one fucked up .jpg

Smartphone model option
interchangable controls like the patent

They should make the games come on cards made using proprietary hardware like a custom FPGA or something similar, so not only would it be impossible to rip the game from the cart it would be impossible to copy the cart in the first place as the carts for each game would be different at a hardware level.

This would stop ALL piracy on the system, and with that out of the way Nintendo could allow homebrew without any fear of piracy or having the firmware hacked (because there would be no reason to). The only downside would be that you couldnt purchase digital versions of games.

>>255851620
what if Nintendo finds a way to give tactile feedback with a touchscreen?

>>255851260
I had intended that the screen still be vertically mounted. 800x1280 would be the best of all worlds really. Yes DS/3DS would scale nicely up to that resolution, but Wii games would work in a 16x9 'top' screen region, as would older 4:3 titles and the WiiU's controller screen would also work.

I also expect it to include both receiver hardware for acting as a WiiU gamepad, but also broadcast hardware so with a hdmi dongle the handheld becomes a console.

>>255851604
Simple yet functional. If that's a HD screen, then I would like it

Taking out the 3D, better analog stick, improve touch screen by adding multi-touch function. I think another thing they should do is have simple connectivity to their console, including cross-platform purchases. Basically what was done with the Vita.

What if they just take the wii u game pad
and made it its own handheld console but with like a little better hardware to be viable as its own console

>>255851856
Meh

If anything it would confuse consumers and nothing more.

Given the fact nintendo ALWAYS copied milton bradley shit from the start, their next logical move would be some sort of 3D tabletop videogame console.

Literally something you drop on top of a table, look at it and can see a 3D world running on it and can 3D touch it, but still have a regular controller to play action games on it.

>>255851889
Man, Yokoi was a motherfucking genius.

>>255851856
I'm thinking about buying a 3DS soon and thought a 2DS would be fine just to save some money but..
How do they even think something like that is okay for a handheld? That shits too big and unwieldy, isn't it? I can't see them going with the concept again, for a first release/primary system, at least. It'd have to be just like it was for the 3DS release, an after launch price cut device. Mobility is just too important, right? Or are handhelds now resolved to being something people only play on the couch or in bed?

>>255852287

Fucking pokeautists.

They'll make use of the foldable screen technology so you can roll up your hand helds for easy carry and not sacrifice screen size.

Fucking this.

Nintendo is the only next gen company out right now.

All the others require you to pause and stop your game to bring up a menu. Fucking garbage

Realistically, I think it will be the same size as the XL, with a true HD resolution top screen and no 3D.

>>255852039
You can technically do this if you bring the Wii U with you.
But that also technically what Sony is doing with the PS Vita and the PS4; you can use the Vita as a Gamepad to the PS4, but also as its own console.

Basically, if Nintendo managed to make the 3DS a Vita of sorts to the Wii U, then all would be well.

>>255852401
>big and unwieldy
It's the size of a non-xl 3DS opened up.
Which is retarded, because they should have just gave it the XL's screens if they were going to make it one big device.

It would make sense if they made the next Gameboy something amazingly powerful, due the surge in smartphone hardware.

My hopes would be this

>high pixel density monitor
>1080p
>true touch screen
>2.0ghz+ cpu
>850mhz gpu (ask nvidia nicely for their new shit)
>4gb ram
>200mb internal flash memory (booting and saving)
>SD card slot
>remove shitty 3d
>size of the 3ds or xl
>proper stereo front speakers (see htc one)
>nice aluminium matte black finish
>screwless/grooveless finish
>3g/4g capabilities

But I don't think Nintendo would ever do that, since it would out power there WiiU and they'd actually have to spend a bit of money to make the new product along with actually martketing/selling it. The 3DS alone generates MILLIONS even though the device itself would cost less than $10 to make.

All that can be made at around $100 and be sold at $200+ or more, have you came into terms with 2014 yet? They're already making 1440p smartphones with 2.4ghz+ quad core cpus with 8b ram and selling it for $400 - $500

>>255851586
What would it do? Or look like? A old style stylus needing, trigger Skulp'tcherz having, internally GameCube being, cartritge based portable?

That's not bad.

I can see them selling that for $299 the first year with a bunch of games, including it's own version of the new Zelda U.

On all systems, Wii, Wii U, and this tablet thing you seem to be describing...


And it would be 3D too huh.

>>255851423
I enjoyed Uprising and Triple Deluxe more with the slider slightly on. Uprising had better depth-perception for long-range shooting with it on, and Triple Deluxe played with the effect very reminiscent to how red-and-blue-glasses movies did before the effect became commonplace enough to just up the ticket price. And some of the obstacles in Kirby bothered me without the effect on. Gordos that are closer or farther away than normal come to mind.

Right. So not having the games you want equals to not having games at all. It's okay if the Vita lineup does not interest you, but stop parroting this crap, homos.

A 3DS with more power is basically the best path they can take, that said Nintendo always surpirses me with the stuff they come uo wuth

Its cheap and its shit. It was the whole gimmick that Nintendo pushed themselves into, have you noticed how all the 3D hype is died down now? Everybody wants higher quality screens/monitors.

All future portables should have the same number of buttons as the console controllers for maximum compatibility. Even the vita has to compensate for not enough shoulder buttons. They know all future games will require this many buttons, they should plan ahead for that. Two thumbsticks, four shoulder buttons, etc.

Then we'd already know about the technology and multiple others companies would be developing it. That would require a super flexible screen far beyonds the capabilities of the ones that are currently in development. You would need the screen to push back at your fingers and we simply don't have tech like that yet that can A) reliably work over long periods of time of heavy usage and B) be compressed down to a handheld level and be battery-powered. We've only just cracked the surface of flexible displays, let alone ones with touch input. Nintendo aren't innovators of technology, they aren't going to be the ones to create some futuristic sci fi level tech. It worries me that you lack the logic to figure this out on your own.

Basically, I want Nvidia to cooperate with Nintendo to launch a system that will do both handheld and home console. The new tegra K1 look very promising and their new chip (K2?) may be better than ps4.

Nintendo should just make a 3ds phone. Just make it slightly smaller than the original 3ds, make it like the vertical qwerty smart phones. Where the top screen is always visible and you slid it up to get you bottom screen. Stuff a decent battery in it, and what ever android that works like a phone while its closed.

I'd buy it.

Nvidia makes commodities, they'd not eat the R&D costs of developing a new system for Nintendo, plus the predatory pricing of the shield, without wanting a fair share of its profits, and that's not how Nintendo makes business.

If the future of handhelds is smartphone hybrids, Nintendo is utterly fucked.

How about the Kindle, right now it is the only portable successful thing not cell phone not apple.

Then they'd have to not have the Nintendo logo on it, or advertise it at all. Everyone knows what a Game Boy or DS looks like just by a silhouette, and because of how much bank Nintendo makes on handhelds, the same would hold true for whatever design they use for the next handheld.
Imagine if the PSP did not exist, and Nintendo made the DS look exactly like it. You'd get as many looks and as much shame because of the brand name. A Target pair of sunglasses, even if it looked the same as a Chanel pair, will ALWAYS be seen as "cheap/tacky" because >Target, yet a Chanel pair that looked the same as a Target pair will be met more positivity.
To think a Nintendo product's physical look will change how people view it is fucking retarded because of how "adult/expensive" brand names = "mature/upper class" social status in any fucking product.

Sony already tried this but the phone sucked due to underwhelming specs abs selection of games.

The phone market works differently. It's not as simple as putting phone hardware inside a 3ds. The first and most important thing you need to have is good carrier relations worldwide. Carriers are the ones that decide if your phone will succeed or not. Sony has decades of experience doing this, Nokia had too before MS ruined then by buying Skype. Nintendo would have to start from the ground up and play catch up to succeed.

Plus if they can't beat MS and Sony in their home turf right now, entering the market where these two are taking a beating from Apple and Samsung spells doom.

an upgraded 3DS, minus 3D that has interchangeable control schemes (use 3 circle pads if you want for example) that utilizes the same OS as Nintendo's next console, which will allow cross-compatibility with certain games (like an Animal Crossing or Mario Kart title), while leaving others as device exclusive (mainline Pokemon or handheld specific titles for example).

>>255849335
Wacom style touchscreen at a smaller scale.

>>255852730
You misunderstand. Most of the power of the Vita goes towards having to render the games twice for the 3D effect along with having to render a 2nd screen on the bottom. The Vita's only "gimmicks" that take away from performance is being able to multitask with the UI

>>255858184
Also getting in to the phone market would just attract attention of more competitors. If Samsung has an excuse to compete against Nintendo, they will.

Both nintendo and sony will have to get innovative in their next iteration of handhelds. And being innovative means no obvious shit like having phone hardware.

I think a interesting step, at least for Nintendo, would be a dock-able console.
They are the only console manufacture that hasn't gone x86 on their home consoles, but I doubt they will choose PowerPC for their next home console. If they choose ARM instead, they could just put the SoC with the best ARM CPU they can get on a handheld, and have a dock with an external GPU. It would most likely be weaker than a PS5 but the overall convenience value would be so high noone would give a shit.

That would be great because there is still a high demand for home consoles but the demand for handhelds is clearly going down. By doing that they can push both formats in one package. Either that or they'd have to have a crazy good software line up, gimmick and marketing campaign for their next handheld.

>>255858070
Isn't that the point?

>>255855349


Also smartphones arent fuckign cheap, if you buy them flat out they are like 600$. Fucking hell.

>>255858547
I think sony should just have a bundle option for their flagship smartphones that include an official slide-out controller case and call this case the xperia play. I don't see the need to make a phone with built in controllers at all.

Sony also must make sure that they sell their phones in the US and release them either on par of the competition(with hardware) or cheaper and with a great line up of games and software services.

>>255859728
The only way I see Nintendo consolidating their handheld/console markets next gen is if their QoL platform becomes a runaway success, which would force Nintendo to permanently allocate a certain amount of staff towards that platform. If that happened, I don't think Nintendo would have enough people internally to accommodate two platforms and the increased resources/time that the next gen would demand, so they'd probably combine them. Barring that, I'd think it would be two platforms again next gen.

>>255851423

It's the size of a 3DS game case it's not exactly big or unwieldy.

>>255862942
the closest scenario I can see Nintendo doing that is with a single touch screen that could do something similar to what the wonderswan did (allowed for similar physical controls on a vertical and horizontal position) so that they could split the screen on a vertical position for backwards compatibility with the 3DS.

You're just misinterpreting what was actually said. No where in that meeting did Iwata ever say that their next handheld will be a fusion between home console and handheld in terms of hardware capability.

A more realistic interpretation would be that he means to make a handheld and home console that would be able to share their software just so that the cost of making games would be minimized while also stopping their glaring software release issue that have been plaguing their latest hardware. Architecture of both the handheld and home console would be similar enough for them to make a port possible with either downgraded or upgraded graphics.

Next handheld from nintendo is gonna be something called the virtual boy

>>255866043
that's how I interpreted it too. The closest thing to a hybrid the Nintendo platforms will have next gen will probably be a unified OS like what Apple does with their products.

Nintendo DS Advance

The DS lasted like from 2004 to 2010 before it's replacement was announced. I think we're reaching the point where you don't need a replacement until technology starts overtaking it.

First off, the 3D is here to stay, Iwata confirmed it will remain on future handhelds.

Nintendo has already stated they are going to explore the mobile space with their own phone/tablet.

Source: Nintendo Annual Shareholder's Meeting 2014.

Dude asks Nintendo about their plans on the mobile space, they say that they refuse to go third party, guy retorts saying that he doesn't want a Fischer Price machine, and that the company needs to "Stop talking about childish things such as the future of video games" and actually talk business. Miyamoto and some younger dude respectfully rape his ass, and tell the next few shareholders that Iwata is in the hospital, and will not be getting fired (despite a few shareholders saying that they wish he would step down so as to return to the SNES era of success, and also that Miyamoto who is "more resilient to fatigue" should become Prez).

The entire shareholder meeting is on the Nintendo website. I'm going to mastursleep[/sleep] but you can read every question on there. The bozo's quesiton was censored a bit. And yes, that guy was Japanese.

>>255853559
Stop with the smartphone garbage.
No one on this earth with interest on actual videogames will think ''oh, I'll buy the latest iphone for gaming instead of a 3DS''

>>255849335
Handhelds are always weird since adding buttons or alternate control options like motion controls on a handheld doesn't work like with home consoles.

Nintendo can't ever remove 3D from their handhelds, just like they can never go back to single screens.

The next step up is making both top and bottom screens have control inputs and allowing the device to be split in half, being the ultimate share-with-a-friend device.

The next handheld from Nintendo needs to have rumble.
There's no excuse for it. Every mobile device has had this feature since god knows when and so has every controller since the N64.

Nintendo probably won't do much in terms of taking on the iphone market. I doubt we'll see an improved eShop.

Dual screens seem to be a popular feature.

3D will probably get dropped since nobody, not even the developers, uses it. It was cool but it's hardly an integral part of the system.

Faster hardware, but the hardware will still be last gen by the time next gen comes around.

You can't fold a 2DS either. The idea of separate screens can sometimes be useful in certain games. MGSV is a great example of that, as are certain DS games. There isn't a single WiiU game that has capitalized on that potential yet and every major first party release from Nintendo so far has seemed to avoid trying to innovate with the gamepad/dual screen format. The only two games left in the pipeline of the near future are Bayo2 and Smash, those are the only 2 potential console-sellers that we the public know about at the moment and neither of them even tries to use the gamepad with any sort of innovation at all.

Are you seriously this retarded? That's like saying you think the N64 controller should have been built in hardwired to the WiiU. What exactly do you think the advantages of having a second d-pad instead of 4 face buttons and some shoulder buttons would be? You think they would make an obvious design error like that again just so you can play all 15 of the shitty games from their biggest failure of a console in history? How retarded do you even have to be to think something like that? And to top it all off you're dumb enough to think there will be another 3D handheld from Nintendo when they already admitted their foolishness by releasing the 2DS. Just... wow dude.

>>255854419
Pretty sure the whole reason the back touchpad on the Vita exists is for cross-console capability. Even disregarding the touchscreen on the front, the Vita already has the same ammount of inputs as a standard controller because each quadrant of the back touchpad can function as a button. Every single PS4 game can be played remotely on the Vita or even using the Vita as a controller via a local network. I'd say that's maximum comparability, no?
