Not sure why the thread didn't just end with this post.  It's the most accurate and obvious answer to the proposition by the OP.

The OP assumes there doesn't need to be a successor.  Personally, I don't play a 3DS or want one.  I owned a DS and barely played it.  I've just never been that much of a portable player.  I was just curious what the 3DS owners thought.  Are they happy with the Switch being the successor (they seem to be!) or are there things they would want Nintendo to implement that aren't in the Switch or the current 3DS.  I've loved the mockups of future iterations of the Switch in here.  I think it also makes sense going forward for them to just make more portable revisions of the Switch, especially for their software output.  It would seem as the Switch is the end of a disk-based experiment for Nintendo, so to is it the end of their dedication to a two screen platform.

Just because the current model of Switch is a hybrid, doesn't mean they all have to be.

XX = dedicated handheld, XY = Switch undocked, YX = Switch docked, YY = dedicated home console Switch. It's no different than smartphones(XX), tablets(XY), laptops(YX), desktops(YY).

A dedicated home console Switch(YY), assuming it's more powerful, could get hybridised next gen for the Switch 2 to keep the cycle going.

Multiple revisions of the Switch are replacing the 3DS.

Already, quite a few people choose the current Nintendo Switch over their own 3DS to take on the go.

Here are some ideas:

Switch Mini design is something similar I think Nintendo will go with first, probably 4-5" display, end of 2018. or 2019. price point around $200.

It would certainly be called Wii 3DS U n They 2 and would release with 1-2-3DS (spiritual successor of 1-2-Switch). Would feature glass free 3D, NFC, geomagnetic sensors, infrared, gyroscope, accelerometer, HD rumble, a touchpad, rainbow like leds, 2 3D face camera with iris detection, 3D/force touch and a fingerprint sensor for an automatic and safe login.

It would feature 2 new top of the line Vega and i7700k because it also needs to have a good price point, which would be only $99 at launch, dropping to $19 one year after. It would have Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Kid Icarus, Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing, Donkey Kong, Monster Hunter, Dragon Quest, Splatoon, Arms, Ice Climbers, Mother 4, 5 and 6, CoD, Fifa, Madden, Just Dance, Rayman, The Elder Scrolls, GTA and Half Life 3 as exclusives on the first year too.

Some people would still complain if it had a "Nintendo" name on it so I would change it to Futendo to prevent this problem.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

The resemblance to the Game Boy Advance successor is uncanny.

- Something more powerful than the Vita
- Something that can be played on TV as well
- Something that can get a few third party on indie games.



Pocky Lover Boy!

The New 3DS was it and it sucked.

Should have had double the resolution and power at par or better than Wii.
