The 3DS XL revision will be the last hardware revision for the handheld

Nintendo's Satoru Iwata has said that the 3DS XL will be the last hardware revision for the handheld because he doesn't want to confuse consumers with multiple 3DS models

lies, which person was it that said there wouldn't be one at all, and that they were thinking of next gen? I'm pumped for the XL and will get it but I don't believe this or a second

Sure...I could see 1 more revision with the CCP built in, maybe the 3DS pro?

I doubt that. -__-

I suppose it'd be best if we didn't have the 3DSi XLite Advance SP Micro.
That said, it's going to happen.

The last time something like this was said, the 3DS XL was announced less than two weeks later so...

3DS with second stick getting announced in July :OOO

Slashkice

But when was the first time something like this was said? :o

People aren't intepretating things correctly.

When Miyamoto said he thought the current "design" of the 3DS was perfect that doesn't mean he wasn't saying there wouldn't be a 3DS XL

The 3DS XL retains the original design of the 3DS, i.e. one circle pad only two shoulder buttons. Etc. He was telling you the design of the 3DS wouldn't change in remodels.

Im waiting till they add a second analog stick to it.

They're being dumb and stubborn... the extend to new games with dual analogs for the 3DS would skyrocket.

So how would you build the ZL/ZR buttons into something the 3DS's size? The Circle Pad Pro isn't just an extra Circle Pad.

This is a tough call to make right now. We'll see how the landscape changes in 2 years, whether it's needed or not.

3DS HW is perfect now with XL. The only thing they could do now is to add new functionality, basically 3DSi. Since by that time 3DS has been out for 4 years, it would be stupid to include a second slide pad that close to 3DS' successor so if there is anything you can definitively say is no 2nd slide pad this handheld gen.

lol

Geoff Keighley might as well have said it.

No built-in 2nd analog revision is a mistake, gives 3rd parties an out in not developing games for the circle pad.

"When asked directly about whether a new 3DS model was in the works, Miyamoto was clear in his answer.

I really feel like I'm satisfied with the 3DS hardware as it is. I feel like it's the best for this generation. What we're thinking about right now is probably going to be for a future generation of handheld."

he could say "yes we are making it" that would be the truth

That is grand, so it is the system to get for sure

Huge screens, better quality and 3D, not much bigger in size than 3DS and 4GB card included, plus DS games look far better

Better battery life too, it is incredible

no Nintendo, it won't.

super600

Nintendo said that?! Well, it must be true.

Either that or they are saying this, trying to sell 3DS and 3DS XL hardware!

Why would they, a business, want to lie to us to make money?

If Nintendo's going to lie to my face, I would prefer if they sent Mr. Miyamoto again...that was CIassic! :P

inb4 3DSi

Why would anyone need another revision after 3DS XL ? Makes zero sense

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"][QUOTE="charizard1605"]Really? You can support the lack of a second analog on the 3DS?charizard1605

So no built in second analog stick?

Come on , Nintendo...

I thought there would be an XL at some point, despite what Nintendo said. I don't think there'll be anything after it.
