Goodbye Wii and Wii U backward compatability.
And third parties
Why are you guys down on this? Nintendo has been the strongest in its handheld market... Seems like a no brainer. Im assuming the base can provide extra power for games as well?
It's Nintendo. They're down on everything they do.
Because the handheld market has drastically shrunk since they last released one.
But the larger question is what @winb83 is alluding to and that is how do they stop the gaming droughts?

Monster Hunter and Ace Attorney will be on TV!
But this is how they stop gaming droughts
They were spread out between 2 different systems.
Now they consolidate into 1 and have consistent releases
The handheld market is like Blockbuster video looking at the coming of Netflix. Parents don't need to buy their kids dedicated handheld gaming devices anymore when cellphones and tablets they already own can handle that.
With that in mind who does this appeal to? Core gamers are cool with consoles.
a console with its own screen. something everybody should have been doing for the past 3 years anyway
It appeals to people that want Nintendo games. You cant get the newest Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Pokémon etc on your cellphone.
Most people see Nintendo as a compliment to XB1/PS4. not direct competition.
So uhhh yall completely missing the point.
If this is a system handheld not a hand held system. That's huge. Do you remember how dope this was
If not for the crappy battery life and crazy price it would have been a wrap
If I can have the power of a system that I can carry around mobile, play mobile connect to the internet mobile and play on random tv's.
this could be really really dope.... 3rd parties would have to make nx exclusives though...which honestly at this point I'm ok with. We already got two system 3 if you count the PC that deal with multi plat games.

The Nintendo DS sold 155 million. The 3DS is at like 40% of that. 60% of the total number of people that bought a DS did not buy a 3DS. That's a huge decline.
The Wii U sold like 13 million. People don't see Nintendo as a complement to the XB1/PS4.
I still don't see why Nintendo doesn't just go to Sony and strike a partnership. Sony can make the home console and Nintendo can do the portable and they can each put their games on both.
What if that original vision happened over 20 years ago......I think it will happen eventually even in a limited spectrum.
Nintendo are some maniacs for this, but it may work.
It's pretty much Playstation World and XBox to a smaller extent. That's it.
How has his strategy worked for their past consoles?
