That's kind of what I was thinking of if it's possible. Like a pocket sized Switch without the docking capabilities for around $200.It would be nice if they just made a smaller version of the Switch instead of actually making a new new 3ds xl deluxe edition and knuckles
Slap a screen onto the Switch Pro Controller, attach a screen to it, make it more powerful than the 3DS, but not as much as the Switch, bam. Easy money.
After Nintendo's new president, Shuntaro Furukawa, officially stepped in earlier this week, he has already started talking to Japanese media outlets about the direction of the company.
Furukawa believes that the 3DS still has advantages over the Switch and stated that Nintendo was considering various possibilities on creating a successor to the 3DS. While the Switch is still obviously a key focus for Nintendo at the moment, we might see a 3DS successor in the future.
Do you think Nintendo should pursue a successor to the popular handheld console?

the DSi has an amazing battery with great power retention and around 10 hours of battery life, dunno what you are talking about, the 3DS line uses batteries just as good that give 8 or more hours for sure. the problem is the switch, which has less battery life than a vitaOnly if it fixes the problem endemic in all Nintendo products including and after the DSi, that is, unremarkable battery life
Only rigid people on GBAtemp like to argue over semantics. It's not feasible to lug that thing around and call it a "handheld". Nintendo is 100% right if they chose to go this route. Switch is the home console and a new 3ds successor will replace the old.The Switch is a handheld. Creating a 3DS successor ruins the greatest power of the Switch, that it combines both markets into one OP console.
the only thing that makes me rigid is the idea of having all of nintendo's efforts go to a single consoleOnly rigid people on GBAtemp like to argue over semantics.
