Nikkei claims 3DS with larger screen incoming, Wii U price at 30,000 yen, non-game distribution
June 4th, 2012 Posted in 3DS, Posted by Valay, Rumors, Wii U

For the past few years, Nikkei has reported on a number of elements set to be announced during Nintendo’s E3 2012 presentations. The publication has followed its tradition once again this year, providing possible news regarding news during tomorrow’s conference.

If Nikkei is to be believed, a new 3DS model is on the way, and it’ll feature a larger, 4.3 inch top screen – that’s 1.5 times the current size. Apparently this update could hit North America, Japan, and Europe as early as Summer 2012.

Nikkei also published rumors about Wii U, which will supposedly be priced at roughly 300,00 yen. That’s roughly $383, though Nintendo would likely adjust that price for other markets. It should be made clear that this is not the final price from Nintendo, and we won’t be hearing about this tomorrow.

Nikkei’s other Wii U rumor suggests that the console will be capable of distributing non-game content such as a car navigator, books, and a karaoke service featuring approximately 10,000 songs.

XL is simply the best videogame device ever for me.

If this is true, I'll simply enlarge my underpants - btw, now I have to look for this game on iOS



how cool would it be if the 3DS and/or XL came with an app that allowed them to double as Wii U remotes?



Until you've played it, every game is a system seller!

I'll buy it ONLY if it has an OLED screen.

Meh.

The DSi XL got boring after a few days, I prefer my handhelds portable. And then there is the money issue...
