  • Yeah I would put this in comparison with the OG 3DS however the main changes seem like they may be in the joycon redesign instead of the screen. The game carts will all be basically identical and potentially still swappable between consoles depending on the game. And the added functionality will probably be unfelt by a lot of people who won’t bother with it.

    They are working on making the quirk of the system better and giving it an engine tuneup.

    They still go long periods of time with practically no “innovation” as that’s not their point but making a fun toy is.



  • When the DS became the best selling gaming handheld we got

    • DS OG 2004
    • DS Lite 2006
    • DSi 2009 (removed Gameboy slot)
    • DSi XL 2010

    They then went on to make the 3DS in multiple iterations including one where they just removed the 3D functionality and sold it again as a DS and the most recent model in 2017 was…

    • New Nintendo 2DS XL

    When they have a successful and well selling portable console they slow down on the innovation and go full into embrace the ecosystem as long as possible with minor improvements and if we use the DS as an indicator we have a decade of this.
