I seriously hope the next Nintendo handheld is a Vita clone I love the design. Yeah, thankfully I love niche Japanese games.

It definitely is damage control. Like you said and Ive said earlier, its weird to call it a legacy model.

Sony has totally no idea what they want to do with the Vita.

Haha I'd be more than happy with a Vita clone from Nintendo too. SD card compatability and a slight beefing up of the specs and you've pretty much got as good a handheld as you could hope to have.

Actually, that brings up an interesting question. If Sony is going to abandon the handheld market, and the NeXt Nintendo handheld is at least slightly more powerful than the Vita, do you think most of the Vita titles (the ones not tied to the PS brand) would be ported to the Nintendo system?

It's very likely. My biggest fear if the Vita truly is Sony's last handheld is that Nintendo might get lazy, I mean, I feel as though that's already starting to happen with Nintendo. But I just hope less competition means less interesting hardware/software from their handheld side

I called DoA, and that hasn't changed, they need to just give up and concentrate on something else.

I get tired of speaking about remote play every time they talk about Vita

I'm not afraid in that regard. Nintendo is not in a position when they can afford being lazy. The mobile market is hitting their handhelds hard and their home console is becoming the next GameCube in terms of sales. With their hardware suffering in sales and the 3rd parties ignoring their systems, Nintendo has to carry both handheld and home console on their own.

I guess you make a good point. I'm just hoping we get 1 screen system again. For me at least, 2 screens feels kinda clunky. Ive always preferred just 1 screen over the 2.

Not sure why they would bother. Vita has no games worth buying on it according to most on this forum :p anybody wanting Vita software would already have bought one I presume. The rest are all on PS3 and PS4 anyway.
