the problem with vita.tv is that Sony made the normal vita even more irrelevant. People who wanna just play vita games won't buy the vita.

But they'll still buy Vita games... which makes it a clever move because it'll boost the userbase? and so mean more developers will be inclined to release software for it?

It's not a very appealing product to me because I already have a 3DS and Wii U, so all my bases are covered.

Plus, you'd lose the portability of the 3DS and its unique features.

NO. by the way, people shouldn't think vitatv as a new vita model. it's a new system.

The Nintendo equivalent to a VitaTV would actually be something like this:

Wii HD (Micro)

- Miniaturized Wii chipset (perhaps emulated by ARM processors), console is tiny, no disc drive, digital download only.

- Plays Netflix, Youtube, Hulu, etc., new media centric OS.

- Uses the Wii Remote

- Download Virtual Console games and Wii games up-resed in 720p HD.

$129.99 with Wiimote (no nunchaku). I don't believe Nintendo would ship something without a controller.

Yes I would.

pokemon on my tv? shut up and take my money!

What would be the point of it. Why not instead make 3DS games playable through Wii U?

A GameBoyPlayer type thing for the WiiU would do, if anything. I don't think a TV-Box would work for a dual screen handheld anyway. The WiiU however offers anything that you need to play 3DS games on a TV, which I think would be the only appeal in such a box, seeing as the 2DS will be barely more expensive than a proposed 100$ box.
