Nintendo Denies 3DS Redesign, Wii U Price Revelation

I didn't believe that rumour for a second. From where I'm sitting, I don't think there is going to be much revealed for 3DS tomorrow. In fact I think a lot of developers have been paying it dust, and that is a big reason why.

That's good. Nintendo's focus should be primarily on the Wii U. If a redesign was to happen, it shouldn't be until a few years.

All Wii U tomorrow and then all 3DS at the showcase thing on the 6th. Hope we get major new games announced for both. Good thing this was fake.

Of course. Nintendo's smart enough to not have a redesign just yet.

@Tasuki I think they said that they 'don't comment on rumor and speculation'.

@Retro_on_theGo What all 3DS showcase on the 6th??

I was right for the first time in my life time yes!!!!!!!!!

come on... at least give us the price

@Lionsgate, only western devs have been giving the 3DS the cold shouler. Japanese devs are supporting it greatly (it's just that many of the games haven't made it out west, which is a shame). At least were getting great titles like Kingdom Hearts 3D, Code of Princess, Unchained Blades, Nintendo's fine line-up, and whatever's announced over E3.

Good, I don't want a redesign since I own the original.

Phew, would have been WAYYYY too early for a redesign.

Told, ya

ya,really didnt want news for a new model yet...I dont want people mocking about getting it.

...Well that was fast.

@James Why is the 3DS redesign rumo(u)r still the top site story then if it was proven false?

YES! NO 3DS REDESIGN! I'm so happy.

And watch they announce a redesign anyways. xD

@Knuckles It's a secret to everybody. (Knuckles collects 10 rupies from moblin)
Now, you can take your 10 rupies, & let's play money making game.

Since there won't be a redesign, some new colors should be released including game bundles.

3DS doesn't need a redesign, 3DS needs a more solid roster of games

And Monster Hunter 3G

"Nikkei's story isn't based on information released by Nintendo and is full of mistakes"

If this is all the statement says, that doesn't completely debunk the rumors for me. They could still very well reveal these two things, just from a little bit of a different angle. Time will tell.

Stoopid rumors :/

The first step is admitting you have a prob-- ...redesign.

Wooh! I'm so glad they're not releasing a new version of the 3DS! I would've been so pissed if they were! lol

yesssssssssss

Yeah its too soon for a redesign, we will probably find out about a bunch of games and an update of some sort for the 3DS. A new 3DS would only steal the thunder of the Wii U and if I'm remembering correctly Nintendo's never launched two systems in the same year.

That's good, I wasn't wanting a redesign yet.

Haha! Well, thanks for setting the record straight. (My, my.. doesn't the 3DS look TINY in his hands in the pic?)

Phew...

$350 for Wii U is my estimate.

i can care less about a new 3ds.the real news i want to see is wii u price.

Never believed this. Not for a minute.

This time Nintendo flat-out denied it instead of saying that they don't comment on rumors or speculation. So Nikkei is VERY wrong this time.

this must mean its true :3

That sucks I was looking fowaed for a bigger one so I could actually see the dang game btw I have bad eye sight Ithats why I want an XL version

I don't get why people are upset that Nintendo would release a larger one, if you don't want it then don't buy it! some of us would like it.

Remember it was Nintendo who denied the DS Lite then 6 hours later showed it off.

It's all about the Wii U at this year E3 so we don't have to expect a new 3DS

@XXITheWorld Do you mean western regions need those games? In Japan we have them. I'm addicted to my Monster Hunter and my fire Emblem. Getting Layton 3DS, Kyokugen Dasshutsu Adv (999 sequel), Guild01, and a few others. Still on the fence about Zelda 3d, Kingdom Hearts, Theatrhythm, and Metal Gear Solid 3d, but definitely getting Bravely Default, Luigi's Mansion 2, Monster Hunter 4, Fantasy Life, Smash Brothers, and Prof. Layton vs. Ace Attorney when they come out. I dunno, I'm happy with the library of 3DS games. I do wish VC would get beefed up a bit, but overall I'm happy.

I think there won't be a redesign just yet. Historically the console redesigns usually only come when there is a design flaw (xbox 360), they need to reduce the cost (so they ditch some of the features, ala ps3) or the system has been selling buckets and they can afford the r&d cost to make a new one (like the original DS). At this point the 3ds is none of the above and they'll already be spending a lot of money on the Wii U R&D so I'll bet it'll be a little while before we see a 3DS "lite" or "XL".

If they do it would be kinda stupid to launch to consoles this year!! plus I was RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well that puts me in a better mood about E3. BRING ON NOON ALREADY, TIME! GEEZ!

3...hours...left...
