They might do that, but they'll still make a distinct handheld too. If they didn't, then people wouldn't have to invest in two separate consoles. They could just play their Switch games on their Switch mini. Just leave it to Jewtendo to find a way to make people spend more money.

Know someone working for Nintendo. Supposedly the next handheld is code named the SL and will be called the Slate. Will feature a 720p screen, no cartridges, but will be focused on Virtual console and be able to play a massive backlog of Nintendo games. That's why they've been quiet about VC for the Switch. No it won't play Switch games

>>383364273
DS stands for "dual screen" you retard so that design makes no sense with the name

>>383365824
Fine, the Nintendo SS, single screen. It even fits in with their trend of horrible acronyms that look very bad at first glance

>>383366329
does 3ds have 3 screens? where is it i dont see it??? is there a hidden third screen in the back???????? wheres the third screen???????????????

>>383364639
The problem is that while the handeld market is doing good, nobody gives a shit about their home consoles anymore.
That's why they made a hybrid in the first place.
They're not making a 4DS.

They'll make a cheap Switch without touch screen probably instead.

>>383364273

i for one would welcome a switch mini, would sell my old one in a heart beat. if i could just plug in to my tv without docking and it's smaller? hell yeah

>>383364273
Literally all you'll be playing is with a line on screen. A line with colours in them.

>>383366832
So

You think Nintendo going to sell a Switch without the basic features.

That's stupid

>>383366832
I love docking with my bros

just bought myself an old 2ds and hacked it. i'm seriously saving up to buy the next handheld iteration from nintendo since i'm loving my 2ds so much. how long do you guys think til they release the next one?

>>383367279
well they sold a 3ds without the 3d

I could see Nintendo doubling down on the 3D and releasing an HD version of the 3DS. Plays the entire 3DS library, plus 3DS-HD titles.

>>383366832

When have they ever done a redesign of their flagship console besides the Wii mini, which was just an obscure one-of.

>>383365824
>implying DS doesn't stand for Developer System

>>383367913
the gameboy, and the ds??

>>383367913
This is exactly my thought as well. Everyone on /v/ is expecting a new Switch model in a couple years, but the chances of that are extremely slim to none. That's because people also keep calling it a handheld when it's officially a (portable) console.

>>383367773

2018-2019

The 3DS is going to fizzle out after Metroid releases.

And they are not going to just ignore that sweet mobile cash. If anyone thinks otherwise, you haven't been paying attention.

>>383368205
?? the ds and gameboy are prime examples

>>383368156

Flagship. As in, NES, SNES, N64 etc...

>>383368313
so you mean home consoles. Which the switch is also a portable so. But how is the gameboy or DS not "flagship" theyre all flagship

>>383368205
I think it depends on system popularity. The Wii-U was too unpopular, plus relied too much on the gamepad for them to consider making a cheaper, mini version.

I could see a Switch mini at some point.

>>383367819
>an HD version of the 3DS
I'd probably buy this before the Switch. I don't want to give up the second screen, the 3D or StreetPass yet.

I doubt it'll happen though. Switch was meant to be a unified platform that would merge together the handheld and console lines, halving the development burden on Nintendo and allowing them to double their rate of output of first-party titles. This is such an obviously good move that I'm sure whatever the "next 3DS" is, it's essentially a Switch.

>>383368630
see, I would buy this.

Right now, I still cant justify buying the Switch, even though I know it has like 4 games I'd actually enjoy, just because the startup cost for it is ridiculous.

>Buy console
>buy 2/3 games to have some variety
>get a Pro controller because fuck the joycons
>Year/whatever is available of Online Access
and now I'm out almost $500

Meanwhile, buying my PS4, I got:
>Console
>3 games
>Year of PS+
>More free games from PS+
>Guarantee of 5+ games that I want coming out within the next year
And it only ran me $450

>>383368840

Why would they give up the handheld line when people just buy both anyway. What you're saying just means their profit will be cut in half.

4DS

>>383369012
>Why would they give up the handheld line
They won't. I'm saying their next handheld will be something that runs Switch games, even if it isn't the Switch we know currently.

This isn't just something random I came up with, by the way. This whole merging-of-the-lines thing was the plan Iwata laid out before his death.

>>383364639
Hardware sales aren't profitable.
It's actually beneficial for Nintendo if they can get everyone into one ecosystem.

>>383368898
Kinda unfair to compare a product out since 2013 to one that came out this year though...
I mean switch will probably be even more affordable in 2021

>>383369275

So they would only sell Mario Odyssey instead of Mario Odyssey + next gen handheld Mario. That's a bigger loss than breaking even on selling a new handheld and then selling all the games to go with it.

>>383369432
True, but you have to look (as a consumer) what your options are available at that time.

With my limited budget at the time, I could invest in a console that while a bit older, would guarantee me a lot of what I want immediately, with a promise of more to come, and no fear of issues cropping up because of rfirst-run issues.
Conversely, I could get the Switch, literally have 1 game to play (that I don't even want), and not use half of the defining features, while waiting for something that makes it worth to me. I'd also need to dump almost $100 in extra accessories to even make the system usable for myself.

If there was the "mini", or whatever that variant that was posted was, for only $200, I'd be much, MUCH more inclined to drop money on the system. At least then I wouldn't be as worried about not having a return in my investment.

>>383365824
No it doesn't you retard

>>383367819
That's stupid, Nintendo's original strategy was creating a dev environment where games could be easily ported between the home console and the portable to solve the problem with droughs, but in the end they went with a hybrid, only retards are expecting another console alongside the switch
We're getting a more portable switch at best

>>383366329
That 1DS joke has always been retarded, the 2DS doesn't remove a screen from the 3DS

Nintendo DS HD coming March 2019. Screencap this.

>>383369776
Well if you wanna be a piece of scum the switch SDK leaked recently. It won't be long before we get CFWs and what have you. People are already ripping splatoon and ARMS models which oh-so-conveniently have the same file format as the wii u

>>383369776
Sure. And if I had neither already and you put a gun to my head and said only one, ps4 would make sense.
There are also millions of people who already have a ps4 who want a switch. And millions who don't need to purchase the switch today.
I mean I already own a ps4 that i bought almost 4 years into it's life. And I will probably buy a switch 2018-2019.
I mean it's just a silly false dichotomy that you can only have one or the other, and you have to buy it today. Early ps4 adopters went through the same bullshit.

>>383369192
the merging plan was only to prevent droughs like the wii u suffered, it was just a way to easily port games when you don't have anything else coming soon
releasing a console like you described would canibalize the switch and turns it into another wii u, there's no reason to release another console when the switch already fills for home and portable

>>383369854

>more portable Switch

No. People are already buying the Switch in droves. There is absolutely no incentive to make a Switch mini.

The Switch is the successor to the 3DS. The 3DS might still have a few games coming out here and there, and Nintendo might be saying the Switch is its own thing, but truth is that I think Nintendo is done with dedicated home consoles. Handhelds are where they've made money and that will be their focus.

We'll see a Switch V2 (or a Mini) with better battery and more portability, but I think the Switch is their main focus, and that's not a bad idea for them.

>>383370116
I tend to stay away from emulation with current gen systems. Older ones that the system just isn't accessible/worth buying into is fine by me, but even stuff like the Wii U will be a year or two before I start getting the emulators.

>>383370147
I guess I didn't make myself clear in the initial post, I didn't buy my PS4 until about a week after the Switch dropped. I had to make a choice, then, as to which console I'd invest in until I could afford the other one. The PS4 was just better, as it was much, much more bang for my buck.
That's why I was saying that if there was the option for the $200 version Switch, I'd have more than likely bought it as an investment for the upcoming year, because that pricepoint seemed much fairer to me.

>>383370149

>Switch
>portable

Maybe from the dock to your bed, but no one is retarded enough to bring their Switch on the train and shit.

I meant as the inevitable lite version, you don't have to remove any functionality, just make it smaller

>emulators
CFWs are a way to run unsigned code within the system anon, it's not an emulator. ie you could potentially get free games and even stuff retroarch on the switch. I'd buy one in a heartbeat if it could emulate PS1 and DOS reliably

>>383364273
Probably a cheaper Switch Lite with a 7nm die shrink of that POS Tegra they currently use. It should be power efficient enough to fit in a smaller form factor and not require a fan and a massive battery. It would replace the switch and the 3DS.

At least that would be the logical thing to do, but this is Nintendo, so probably more gimmicks.

>>383370367
Oh, okay I did misinterpret.
I mean sure, and there will be a $200 switch one day. It just makes no sense for nintendo at the moment. Why blow your load all at once?

>>383370504

>bigger target to steal

The Switch is a home console, dumbass. No matter which stupid excuse you want to use to deny it.

>>383370542
oh, rip. Pay me no mind, I'm not that experienced with modding consoles. Thanks for the heads up though, might look into picking one up earlier than I was planning if the hack works as well as the 3DS ones do.

>>383370593
Yeah. I agree they shouldn't just throw everything out there at once, especially with how new the concept and system actually is.
Still, I'm at least sorta glad they didnt have the cheaper option available as well, since the no localization of XX kinda killed my urge to buy the system anyways.

>>383370691
My buddy has one, takes it everywhere with him. As long as you aren't carrying massive cases, and the dock, and every other thing you dont need, it's no different than carrying a tablet/e-reader with you.

There is no hack YET, but with the SDK out in the open like that it shouldn't take long for both CFWs and emulators to pop up. Right now 3DS is all the rage

>>383370801

That's a nice anecdote, but the Switch will never fill the void of the 3DS as an effortlessly portable handheld.

>>383371035
so neither is the 3DS XL and the Vita

>>383371112

Unless you're a fag and wear skin tight pants, the 3DS is 10x more portable than the Switch.

>>383364273
I'm sort of hoping they'll just have the switch as their handheld and release typical hand held games like pokemon on the switch. That's pretty much the only way I'll buy one.

How could they even market a new handheld when one of the sellings pout of the switch is handheld and portable

>>383371206
N3DS XL is really cumbersome to take around, but still fits. I wish it was as sleek and tiny as my PSP, but that's asking too much from a device with non-specialized hardware and two screens

I'd actually love to have a 2DS Micro..

>>383371314
They already announced a new pokemon is being developed tho. Mainline too, not some spinoff

>>383371436
The only ones surprised by that were retards that expected them to take a new engine out of the ass instead of doing the obvious and releasing this year's game on the 3ds and thought it meant the switch would never receive a mainline pokémon

>>383364273
>What's the next nintendo handheld after the 3DS?
It's already out, it's called the Nintendo Switch. The good question is : Will Nintendo make a new home console ?

>>383369719
They could just sell Mario Odyssey and Mario Odyssey 2 and save time and money by not having to port the engine their using or making another engine, being able to recycle assets more efficiently, only having to remember one set of limitations, etc. They'd also be selling it for more than a new handheld game.

>>383371582
Oh I somehow thought you said you were waiting for a pokemon announcement or something along those lines, excuse my lack of reading comprehension. But yeah a pokemon on switch was inevitable given the numbers it's moving in the places that matter for nintendo and gamereak

Dont think they'll be dropping the 3DS with its install base any time soon, what i think will happen is they'll push Switch/3DS connectivity sometime next year and leave the new handheld for the time when the Switch reaches half its expected lifetime.

I do not doubt however, that they have been working on a 3DS successor for one or two years.

The Switch is unwieldy as fuck. I don't even remove it from its dock. Imagine a kid trying to handle it. Kids account for a large portion of their business.

>>383372837
That's why it's plastic. If the screen was glass that shit would be a damn safety hazard. It also saves them money so there you go, two stones with one cat

You are a fool. The Switch being Nintendo's single platform is genius from a marketing standpoint. The Vita failed because it was too fucking great, it was expensive as shit to develop a vita game so nobody wanted to invest big $$$ into a niche handheld platform so Vita got no games (very sad). 3DS got a huge library because it was cheap as fuck to develop for due to the shit hardware, this combined with the huge install base and the very cheap price of the 2DS meant devs could make a game at very low cost and potentially reach a massive audience. The Switch circumvents the problem of having to choose between being a great handheld with stellar hardware and no games or having shit hardware and tons of games by also being a console and thus being the sole Nintendo platform and not being a gamble to developers (or not nearly as much of one anyway).

Look at the thing. The Bluetooth and Joy-Con rails aren't any significant factor in the size. It's impressive that they managed to make it as small as it is. Make it "mini" and you wouldn't even be able to fit the battery.

They'll keep making games for the 3DS until Q1 2019, then lower the Switch price to $249.99, thus making it the same price as the 3DS was when it first came out.

i can get a brand New Nintendo 3DS XL Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer Edition

for 155€ , is that a good deal or not?
never had a ds before , never touched one

>>383373031
this right here is the greatest design to have ever come out of nintendo. fuck the haters.

>>383378072
>4k
>on a fucking handheld of all things
Seriously?
4k on a fucking 6'' screen or something?
Even phones today are 1440p for whatever fucking reason
There's no point to be even over 1080p on a fucking tiny screen other than inflate screen cost for marketing purposes.

Is Sony officially done with handheld? They've proven that they cannot beat Nintendo in this market, so why try again? The PSP did well, but was still severely beat by the DS. Fast forward to the next handheld gen, and they're getting stomped just as hard by the 3DS.

Could it be that their approach of giving top tier hardware to consumers is the problem? The Vita is king over the 3DS in all categories, but shoppers still said fuck no and bought the inferior 3DS.

Do people just prefer Nintendo games more than they do Sony exclusives? I'm sure even if MH was multiplat on both the Vita and 3DS, the numbers would still be largely in favor of the 3DS.

Technically it does. What's underneath the frame is just one panel.

>release a version without the gimmick

Is this how Nintendo is going to roll now?

>>383378883

Because no one wants to play a shittier version of a PS4 game on a tiny screen. Nintendo's games run at 60 FPS and are fun and whimsical.

it's a great deal, anon. the 3ds is super easy to pirate with these days, and a $10 flashcart will give you access to every single NDS(original DS) games. That's two whole libraries of games you have missed out on, for less than 170€. easily over 3000 games at your fingertips(a lot of his shovelware, I won't lie to you.. but a lot is also quality gaming, and you'll be able to play online with /v/)

460 for the same amount anon. The only expensive thing for the Switch is the controllers

>Fuck the joycons
They're perfectly usable in the grip.

Will they actually advertise this or will they kill it themselves again?

>>383379202
>>2/3 games
The switch doesn't have 2-3 games worth playing though

>>383379067
I'm curious if 3DS software sent back information regarding how many users had 3D enabled.

I've had mine for about 3 years now, and used the 3D once. And the 2DS was unpopular because it looks like a fucking toy, and I think it had no CPP support.

the n2ds is fucking lovely. the only con I can see is the questionable hinge.

>>383379237
It's both, but nintendo themselves claim it is a home console first
Wouldn't be surprised if they put out another DS-brand pure handheld desu, also we still don't know exactly what kind of game the pokemon for switch will be

>>383379286
I mean it does, even outside of ports.
>Snipperclips
>Bomberman
>ARMS
>Splatoon 2 in 2 weeks
>Neo Geo games like Metal Slug 3

And MK8D and BotW are the superior versions on Switch but I can understand not wanting to double dip, especially if for some reason you bought BotW on Wii U

GBA SP, DS, DS Lite, DSi, DSi XL, 3DS, 3DS XL, New 3DS, New 3DS XL, New 2DS and they still can't figure out hinges.
I don't get it. Do they want their shit to feel cheap?

Sounds like it. I think Sony just doesn't really get the portable market. Their mindset continued to be very power-focused. They wanted it to be like a portable PS3, but people who wanted a PS3 would just get a PS3. Nintendo's portable consoles carry more of a strong identity in themselves.

>>383368630
Why would they make a less profitable version when the more profitable version sells out in minutes?

>>383377872
No, that would be people like me who are holding off on the Switch for this exact reason.
I don't want a Switch Mini, though. I want a Switch XL.

>>383380608
I dunno, why did they make a Wii mini when it was dominating the market?

>>383364639
>They might do that, but they'll still make a distinct handheld too. If they didn't, then people wouldn't have to invest in two separate consoles. They could just play their Switch games on their Switch mini. Just leave it to Jewtendo to find a way to make people spend more money.
yes, this is also why nobody at all ever bought a Wii Mini, a Gameboy Pocket, all the revision versions of the DS and the 2DS and 3DS XL and New 3DS and New 3DS XL and New 2DS and NES Mini and soon the fucking SNES Mini because nobody ever buys Nintendo Consoles that only play games that older Nintendo consoles already played

>>383376934
Because it's youtube comment tier. Work on your bait, newfaggot

>>383364273
The Switch?

>>383364381
This but it'll be incompatible with switch accesories or games and it'll have a 240p screen

>>383380538
I would like a portable ps3, but only because I've never owned one and don't feel like dropping $150 on an old ass system, when for $50 I could get a ps4.

>Will Nintendo make a new home console ?
I don't think so, Nintendo have screwed up so badly on hardware that they may never get on the same level as Microsoft or Sony.

>>383380736
>Wii mini when it was dominating the market?
Lol. Were you a fetus during the Wii era? You just proved my point.

Wii sales 2009 26m
Wii sales 2012: 4m
Wii Mini launch: Dec 7 2012 (can), Nov 13, 2013 (us)
WiiU launch Nov 18, 2012

The Wii mini was only launched after the Wii sales had cooled down to a trickle - in fact the Wii U was already out the door.

>>383381907
which is why the original post was about releasing a switch mini later. not anytime soon. of course it would be dumb to release one now, the damn thing is sold out in the first few minutes.

Oh sure pal you'll get your switch mini once nintendo has completely moved past the switch concept and the Switch hardware has shrunk to something that can be put in a watch. Enjoy your switch mini in 2027. Lol.

but I'm not a poorfag. I will be buying one at next restock. I don't think anyone was saying they wanted to wait, the original discussion was about if they would decide to make a mini version.

>>383381103
That's basically it. "Why settle for Vita when it's a lesser version of what I could be getting?" made the Vita an undesirable product. Nintendo never positioned their portables as handheld versions of their home consoles. They were main attractions, not sideshows. That's how Nintendo succeeded in handhelds where Sony failed.

>>383379572
Fair enough. I wouldn't recommend it if you don't enjoy Nintendo's style of games, but they're all pretty damn good.

Make a Switch XL with an actual 1080 screen and controls usable by anyone but Japanese children.

>>383380538
>And quite often those two consoles are PlayStation and Nintendo sitting side-by-side
Why do we fight, bros?

>>383383163
There's no point in using a screen resolution higher than they're going to be able to render in handheld mode, besides being able to say "Look! The resolution is high!" It would make games look worse, not better.

>>383364273
No idea, but it's most likely going to involve two screens again. Two screens is something that can work well on handhelds, and Nintendo isn't going to give up that unique gimmick so easily. Maybe give it gyro controls or somehow let the dual screens combine into one larger one with touch screen capability.

A second damn analog stick.

>>383384138
3DS already had built-in gyro controls.
