I think the 3DS has everything current technology has to offer(Almost?).
Except 2 analog sticks.
And good graphics.

God I hope Nintendo sticks with 3d.
You know, just games would be nice.
Not really a leap, but still a noticeable change from the Color, besides that and the form factor, IAre we really calling that a leap? I am not inclined to start a "but ? was first" thing but any number of wider handhelds with many buttons happened before then, I am coming up a bit short on shoulder buttons mind you.
My ultimate dream would be for them to release a Netflix style subscription for their games where you play X amount monthly and you get access to ALL the VC games and play as much as you want on it. .
As for the device itself, I think the 3DS will probably be the last time we'll see the clamshell design and they'll go for a one giant screen with buttons on the side.
Which most modern portable devices don't really have, but that said, I do hope the battery and the handheld is bigger from the get go.And a long lasting battery life.
I was thinking Augmented Reality glasses, but thought that was a bit much. Not saying it's out of the realm of Nintendo. They would have to design it to go over eyeglasses. Not to even mention VR.

What was the GBA's major development over the GBC?
The processor, graphics hardware, sound.
Basically, the GBC was a NES, and the GBA was a SNES.. in relative terms.
Shoulder buttons.What was the GBA's major development over the GBC?
So a once good but now/then ageing processor popular in embedded systems, all wrapped around a fairly modest amount of memory and graphics hardware, stuff that has seen technically superior competition during its day, gave way to... a once good but now/then ageing processor popular in embedded systems, all wrapped around a fairly modest amount of memory and graphics hardware, stuff that has seen technically superior competition during its day*.The processor, graphics hardware, sound.

The terms little NES, little SNES and broad comparisons, types of ports and the like mean that line of logic is far from unheard of.So going by that logic, the NDS was a N64 and the 3DS is a GCN ?
I did actually have a look earlier to see if I could find earlier portables with shoulder buttons and came up short, I am content enough with it not exactly being a new concept in game controllers though.Shoulder buttons.
The 3DS is a major development over the DSi? In what regard? I could understand the DS-to-DSi since the DSi introduced DSiWare, embedded cameras and whatnot, but the 3DS's only "achievement" is the glasses-less 3D screen that people use for 15 minutes and then forget about. Other than the specs (which are a good couple of years behind the times), there isn't any jump to speak of unless you want to count the top screen aspect ratio.We've had the Gameboy, Color , Advance, DS , DSi & the 3DS
Each of the above handheld has had a major development over the previous.
I think the 3DS has everything current technology has to offer(Almost?). What do you tempers think will Nintendo's next handheld offer?(Say- 4-5 years from now?)
Landscape screen, shoulder buttons, better form factor?What was the GBA's major development over the GBC?
They're objective if you have means of comparison to other devices from the same time frame.Good graphics and resolution are subjective.
