Largest game on 3DS was Xenoblade Chronicles, which was 3 GB. Other full-titled games hovered from 500 MB to 3 GB on average.

I wonder if that will dramatically change...Nintendo hasn't said a word on NX. Worried their advertising will go horribly wrong if nothing is said until the last minute. 

I think the NXDS won't come with alot of memory though. However, it'll probably allow SD cards to reach 256 GB. SD cards are cheap, so people won't have to worry.

32GB isn't a lot of memory. It's suffucient, though. It should be 64GB like I said, but I can see them encouraging people buy their own SD cards since they are so cheap.

I think the average AAA game will be like 5GB. When I say that, I mean games of the scale of Killzone (4GB) and Uncharted (3.5) on Vita. Your AssCreeds and Zelda NX's. I'm betting on it having a 540p 3D top screen with maybe a 240p bottom screen resolution. That allows them to have a significant upgrade over the 3DS. Since it's sharing a library with the console, it will need to be pretty powerful to run those scaled down games well. The low screen resolution will make up for it a lot, though. It's obviously not going to be using tech that competes with the most powerful modern smart phones, but it can still be a generation ahead of the Vita in power for $200. With the resources saved on resolution, it'll be capable of visuals and scale that should handily surpass those seen in modern smart phones.

Needless to say, that downport of Zelda NX will have no problem running on it. Not when phones now are capable of this:

And a system as weak as the N3DS is capable of this:

Probably 32GB for the console and updates but none usable by the user and you will be able to buy special storage amiibos

540p sounds reasonable...but 3D? I honestly don't think so. 3DS was made when the 3DTV was a succeed-or-fail fad(ended up failing horribly). I don't see why they should continue making 3D games. 

I'll go with 500 Gb.

They didn't spend years of R&D perfecting the 3D tracking tech just to sell a couple million 3DS revisions and stop there. It's here to stay on NXDS. You may not care about glasses free 3D, but Nintendo clearly likes it and that's all that matters. And again, you can just turn it off.

I'd be a little disappointed if their next portable didn't have the 3D screen. I hated it on the original 3DS, but it really looks great on the "new" 3DS, to the point where I always use it with the slider at maximum.

The biggest problem with SD cards is not their capacity but they speed, that's why there are several classes. And the slower ones would have a negative effect on your gaming.

That's why HDDs are a better option.

Whats the next thread going to be, how big are the controller buttons going to be lol

You may laugh now, but if the NX controller is anything close to that fake prototype, we might have to discuss that too.
