Topic: The 3DS successor is gonna have mobile/tablet features

I just felt like stating an obvious fact. It's the most inevitable thing possible.

I think with Wii U's continued interest to actually be a video game console and how 3DS' 3D is optional, Nintendo can still make it a valid gaming platform with the mobile/tablet features as a blatant marketing thing. And yes, even Nintendo totally knows that, unless you want to tell me the NSMB sequels were made for the art.

I don't consider this an issue or something to be worried about most likely, Nintendo has proven it's willing to stick to focusing on gaming. I dunno if it's straight up gonna be a hybrid of an HD DS and a smart phone or whatever, but something like that. And hey, if it gets Nintendo fighting back against the increasingly horrendous mobile gaming scene (aka the "your best shot is to have no morals or dignity" scene), I consider this for the greater good. Because what money obsessed corporate bs has turned mobile gaming into is the worst thing in gaming. THE WORST THING. Like the EA article was just a reminder that someone needs to stop this, it is just so depressing. And the fact that quality franchises and developers are forced into all of the worst trends, mostly via some misguided idea that its the only way to actually make money on handheld gaming, is just the saddest thing, and I'm really sick of it.

This is very unlikely, I believe they'll go the fusion route and merge their console and handheld market because that would be more revolutionary than copying the mobile devices. Nintendo is known for trying something new and like it or not that includes the Wii U which is revolutionary in its own right. There's no way Nintendo will mimic other established companies and turn their 3DS successor into a mobile device because A: it would be a bad business move and B: Nintendo knows they'd be eaten alive if they went up against apple or microsoft in the mobile market.
