The system is simply the QoL platform, Iwata said we would see it reveal on 2014, that is simply what we will be the "new Nintendo console", it really isn't a surprise. The 3DS only has 3 years in the market, and the only thing they could reveal is a remodel, and Iwata isn't that stupid to discontinue the Wii U. And if it was really a new handheld or home console, why would Nintendo reveal it in a Direct?
