False rumour! 3DS Successor Coming Out Later After Switch (Nintendo Q&A IR)

[ootnes2]

What's wrong with the N3DS that it needs an upgrade? It's a great console. How could they possibly update it further?

Could use some more stability.

Really if there is a 3ds successor it will be about Nintendo wanting a lower price thing for parents to buy their kids.

Since their home console is now also a mobile device...how in the world would they distinguish between the two?

Unless it plays the same games, just in a more mobile friendly form. After a few years, when the tech being cheaper...so not a new console so much as a "Switch Go". or "NEW Switch" lol. that seems....slightly more reasonable, but even then.

Switch Pocket.

Seen a few peeps claiming investors were told by nintendo, there won't be a portable only Switch til at least late 2018. If true i could see a portable only Switch being the true 3DS successor and no need for another handheld. Nintendo should pressure devs to make New 3DS exclusives but without the 3D and tap into the power left behind without the 3d in the meantime

dual 4k screens! OMG! haha

Must be trolling. The switch isn't even using a 4k screen. What makes you think a portable only version would use two of them?

Don't expect anything announced before Sun & Moon comes out.

HAHA! I knew it!

Well... Nintendo needs your money. So...

Except we know Pokemon Company has stated they are making a new game for the NS.

It's probably going to be a spin-off.

Better get ready for the: (read with "Smash Brothers Melee" voice)
New Nintendo Switch XL Tournament Championship Alpha Zero Omega Limited Edition 1.0

I bought a DSi XL, so I know that feeling lol

Improved 3D, faster cpu and loading times and ips panels is quite good so please don't sorry me.

Portable switch with dual screens and 3D?

Less power ofcourse.

Yeah I see a portable switch happening. If it's replacing the 3DS I wonder if it will retain the DS features like clamshell, etc...

Recently Nintendo has said

consumers would realise very quickly that Switch is different from the 3DS

Looks like they want to keep the DS brand alive and seperate thing of its own, they are supporting the 3DS well in 2017 and it will have its own successor later I take it.

I feel sorry for people who just bought the new 3ds if this is true

I'm pretty happy with mine; bought it January of this year, and the new portable probably won't be out for at least another year.
