I actually thought it said windows 10 the first time I read it. Lol.

 

Maybe the 3DS can play all those old DOS games? I'd certainly get one.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

I wish Nintendo's next handheld doesn't have garbage specs though.

It's 2016. Handheld devices now reach 1080p easily, with some having 4k screens. Also, the power of the 3DS is disappointing as well.

Hopefully Nintendo tries to put more power into their next handheld device. They should have a decently powerful processor with a 720p/1080p screen.

I'd be shocked if Nintendo's next portable (if they make one) has a screen over 720p.

They've always opted for very low resolution screens for their handhelds; 3DS has a lower res screen (400x240) than the circa 2005 PSP, (480x272) and the original DS, released that same year, operated at a miniscule 256x192.

Based on past trends, 540p is more likely than 1080p for a 3DS successor.
