Apparently Nintendo's heading toward an Apple/Android-like approach; where there are multiple devices with a similar architecture/OS, making porting of games and assets very easy and streamlined between the systems. This specifically to up their software output and avoid game droughts. Iwata has said all this on several occasions. So we can reasonably expect Wii U and 3DS' successor and also Wii U's successor to share the same OS, architecture, and games (or very similar ones, at any rate). Also, there may be more updates/redesigns in the future, like how Apple's bringing out new iPhones and iPads every year. |
So that's what that was about. People keep talking about a combined systems, but the systems will just be really similar. I personally think the OSs are too different between 3ds and Wii U. I think they will keep first party games as system exclusives still.
