What can Nintendo add to the 3DS' successor?

Grr, something tells me it won't be HD just cause its Nintendo. Like, I have my doubts that they will choose a 720p res and not something lower but if they do choose 720p, it will be fap worthy

Neogaf did have some interesting designs though

Hey! Those guys stole my idea!

I want my check now :P

They did a good job though.

My issue with this design is while it looks good in a static photo, in a moving game in actual use there are a lot of practicality issues. 

How would you play a game like Smash Brothers where there is action all over the screen if the left side and the right side of the playing field are obscured by your hands? Even a split second a character being blocked/obscured by your hand can lead to a lot of frustration. 

Even in a Mario Kart game, what happens if a kart is coming up on you from the right side or a hole in the track is sitting there? You could go flying into it simply because you didn't see it. 

Ditto for a Zelda game ... you can't have a boss that moves rapidly right to left for example because it could easily get obscured by ones hand. 

I dunno. Maybe Nintendo is crazy enough or desperate enough for a gimmick to do something like this, but it doesn't seem very practical to me. Look at these mockups, now put your hands on them to simulate the playing position ... it's pretty easy to see how this set up would become annoying after 2-3 minutes of play even.
