If Switch Mini is real then that pretty much has to be the successor of the 3DS... right? Otherwise the unknown successor of the 3DS would have to have some really unique features since otherwise they're just having two handhelds with different game libraries competing for the same consumer, it doesn't seem smart.

I think it will be just the Switch in two years from now, and I don't think that's a bad thing.

What do you think, have we all already seen the successor of the 3DS in it's slightly bigger current fomat, or are they coming out with something along the line of Smellovision VR 4DS?

A "Switch Mini" has the same odds of being a home-only console with no screen and no portability features, as it does of being a smaller portable version. Who knows where this will go.

i find it VERY unlikely that there would even be a successor. Let the 3ds run its course but eventually any title that makes enough money will just be on the switch. also, the switch is already tiny, im not sure how much smaller they can get!

I would rather they did like just a home console version of the switch IE one that is solely for the house. Just a box that has the switch internals in it and no portability at all. I don't tend to play portables systems and I do get you would be pretty much taking away the main selling point of the switch that being you can play it at home or on the move but like I said I tend to only play games at home anyway. And by removing the portable element of the switch the cost would come right down. I would call this the Nintendo Home Switch or the Nintendo Indoors Switch or finally the Nintendo Off Switch lol but if they do go down the road of doing a smaller version of the switch rather than calling it the Nintendo Switch Mini it should be called the Nintendo Lite Switch.

I'm hoping nintendo doesn't pull the plug on the 3ds when the switch mini arrives (if it does).

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
