You sure can!

I would always prefer capacitive.

Two things I would like would be a larger form factor and HDMI out.

Don't think they will do such upgrade, if so it will be 3DS2 already...

i could probably buy into that, my problem with the 3ds is the shitty screen... didnt know pixel density was so bad, what was nintendo thinking?
i cant buy anything with a lower pixel density than my shitty smartphone

I agree, some of the changes most people want for the 3DS basically radically alter its normal design and how games function anyway. Personally, I'd rather they wait until 2015 or whenever the next potential competitor forces Nintendo's hand to create another new portable which would have the long sought after (but not enough that more people don't buy games that use the Circle Pad Pro to drive the desire home for Nintendo) second analog and Vita or better capabilities.

I'm still trying to work out whether this is a troll thread or not, the OP read like "turn it into a Vita".

Anyway, I don't think they can bring many improvements to the 3DS XL, other than battery life, that would affect compatibility with other models.

ditch the dual screen desgin ?

What about 5'' screens on top and bottom ?

I'd want that right into my veins

Better Camera and Better Resolution which will probably require a slightly better cpu/gpu but those two is what I want... A second analog stick would be nice but its too late in the game for that... and Not enough games use it

galaxy note series works fine with both

it isnt bad.... have you try playing the games avail to it?

looking at your fave games... it looks like  you are not a graphics whore..... you should give it a try.... gameplay > graphics 90% of the time :)

Wii U add on that allows me to play DS and 3DS games dual screen with the touch pad and SD or HDTV, and in 3D with a 3DTV.  Also allows upscaling to 480p widescreen, 720p, or 1080p.
