Topic: What Do You You Think Is Next After 3DS?

The Nintendo QS™
With QUANTUM™ screen technology.

It is a very good question, but I think no one saw the 3DS coming, and nobody will know what Nintendo will come up with next. It will be something new - either attachments to smartphones, or some virtual reality ala Star Wars who knows.

Seems reasonable to me with the hardware divisions combining, this is what I thought was gonna happen when I first saw the gamepad at e3. Would be pretty awesome tbh.

Whatever it is, fanboys will defend it religiously no matter it's flaws. (Do I lose my fanboy status for this statement?)

PS Vita 2.

I don't care, as long as it's got a high screen resolution. It stinks playing games in 2013 and having them look like a horrible jaggy mess.

the HDS

The second coming of the virtual boy.

I hope the 3DS has another year or two at least in it's life span honestly, I didn't get my XL until this March so i haven't had it that long. And I'm fine with how the games look right now, I mean they don't have to look good for me too still love them, but good graphics is a definite plus in my book. But as far as the next handheld I would love to see higher screen resolution, stick to the duel screens, and definitely hope they keep the 3D because I love it, it really helps me get immersed in the games and no matter how many times I see it I'm still impressed with how awesome games look in 3D (OoT absolutely blew my mind with the 3D effect the first time I played it). I think it would also be awesome if they incorporated a second circle pad on the left side of the system, that IMO is a must at this point simply because the controls for MH3U are really tricky especially the underwater battles.

Personally I believe they will release a Nintendo brand smartphone before they release a new handheld

The 3DS has several years left @ThatGuyEZ

4DS
GameBoy Advance had one screen, the DS had two....and the 3DS, when you think about it, has three screens. x3 (you know, from the whole separate images to both eyes thing, lol)

Super Nintendo Entertainment Boy Wii U Advance

Where do you go from 3D? I don't see myself buying another 2D handheld again, it would feel like a massive step backwards, even if it is in HD. Either way it'll be pretty amazing to see what Nintendo do.

Its gonna be an HD DS (The dual screen is to good to let go any time soon), its gonna be pricey.

just make a ds with 3D, better hardware capabilities, 2 analog nubs, better shoulder buttons.

maybe the option to stream console games on to the handheld via internet.

A second stereoscopic screen for the lower touch screen would be a first.
And some increase in resolution for the 2 3D screens with inevitable second (improved) analog sticks.
A final remark: all their handhelds have been backward compatible, they'll be forced to at least let the stereoscopic upper screen for compatibility purposes.

Unless they include 3G(which I don't see happening, somehow), I don't see the point to this. Unless you're at a local hotspot, you're probably in a home anyway, so unless your friends don't have Ninty's home console it'd be sort of useless. It'd be a handheld console, that let you use console games on it when you're at home or near a hotspot... So... Basically a slightly improved GamePad. Something that HAS its uses, but I imagine that it would be a bit of a hassle to get up, and for what's more a "cool" feature wouldn't be worth it. Now, if they let you keep several console game on it at a time or rid of it and made it a wonderfully powerful handheld that can send gameplay to your TV, on the other hand... That... Would be the greatest console of all thyme.

The next handheld will probably have a bit more power than the Vita as lately it feels like Nintendo consoles seem to be a slightly powered up version of other current gen consoles that are out (and have more power).
