LOL pretty much...



True, but maybe if the title wasn't so hyberbolic and misleading , people wouldn't jump to conclusions .

The title needs to be changed.

It's one thing to try and sensationalize the title for more views, but misleading is another!

Why stop there? Why not shut down the gaming division in its entirety and return to its roots as a playing card company, some taxi company, a love hotel chain and their re-release their love tester.

Personally, I think Nintendo is halfway to being a porn company - a special PSwii60 thumbs up

Maybe they will finally introduce the 3DS Lite with a better battery life and other minor improvements.

Exactly what I think as well.  Sleeker design (maybe with a matte finish), better buttons, brighter screen and improved battery life.

Basically a DSi design with the 3DS tech inside.

You're not talking about the DS Lite then.  I haven't used the DSi, but the DS Lite had a very bad control pad.  Super flimsy.  Made me glad I kept my fat DS.

Why keep people saying that tilte is wrong?
Is right spot on.
3DS is 3DS. iS NOT 3DSXL NOR 2DS.

Because the name 3DS stands for all the models, it's like when you say iPhone. You should specify in the title, like saying the original model or something like that.

No, I said a DSi design, not DS Lite.  That includes the DSi's superior buttons over both the DS Lite and the standard 3DS.

All he did was mention that they could call the revision the 3DS Lite.

It was decided to free some space in their warehouses: the new 3DS will be equipped with the Vitality Sensors and Circle Pad Pros EPA, EEA and EAJ forbade them to landfill.

Maybe replaced by a similar size model, but I don't think that it will be discontinued since it is the only model that fits in a regular pocket. Also, the normal 3DS has a "premium" felling in my opinion, it looks like it has a better build quality overall.
