Project Indy: The 3DS successor that was shelved

[curl-6]

Sifting through info obtained in the Nintendo "Gigaleak", Rare Gaming Dump have compiled a profile of a 3DS successor codenamed "Project Indy" that was in development in 2012-2014 and ultimately shelved in favour of the Switch.

The system would have been between 3DS and Wii U in power, with the following specs:

- 4 ARM Cortex A53 cores
- Graphics core sometimes mentioned with the name "Decaf Latte", implying that it would've been a portable version of the Wii U's graphics core
- 1GB of LPDDR3 RAM (Switch uses 4GB of LPDDR4)
- A single 3D touchscreen display
- 1 front camera, 2 rear cameras
- Built-in NFC interface (Implying that detachable controllers were not used)
- Accelerometer & gyroscope
- GPS
- PCIe expansion interface for a "Toronto" SoC by Sharp which would have provided 3DS compatibility
