Just think about the position of your hand and fingers trying to play that...

I'm not sure what your point is. That was the #1 consideration.

It will be the same as a DS in principle.

If the handheld is using the Sharp screens unveiled not too long ago and it's still dual screen, it'll look something like this:

 

I think the one screen possibility is actually a plausible one looking at how wide the above would be.

Yes, that's prefection. New features being the dual touch widescreens, better graphics and 3D.

No need for more (but I bet nintendo will give us more)



Well an accelerometer and rumble seems like a go. And for some reason... I see the DS entering the e-reader space (in no small part to the 100 classics book collection being released), so the screens and interface have to be useful for that.

To me it seems like it would be awkward, specially the position of the analog sticks.

Nah, I tested the positioning with "pretending" to use analogs in that location on a DSi XL and a DS Lite. Given that an XL would be larger than this, and a Lite somewhat smaller, and it felt acceptable on both, one can therefore assume it'd be comfortable on this too.

Take out the right analog stick , and but the buttons a little under from where they are now ... for start ^~

Why take out the second analog stick?  As of now handhelds suck at FPS due to a lack of a second analog stick, as far as I am concerned?  Why are you opposed to two analog sticks?

 

Anyhow, here is what I wrote on the 3DS:

I have visions of Nintendo borrowing from the DSi XL for the foundation, but upping the resolution:

 

I see room for two analog sticks in that, and the resolution being higher than now.  I am leaning towards Nintendo doing this, with 3D in the top screen.  I believe there is an alternative reason for them going with the XL version of the DSi.



I want an analog stick.
