Apparently with the console division being merged with the handheld division they also hired a few guys who are aware America exists and buys more Nintendo poo poo than their homebase.

They also know what the internet is.

Yeah, I'm sure Nintendo are advertising on children's TV channels as well as to parents because they think of grown rear end adults as their main target audience.

Pretty obvious they're going in the direction of a single portable console or something

Then it would be like the Neo geo X or something. Where the handheld exists in a detachable console base that can be connected to your TV.

Either that or they go the Playstation 4/Vita route.

granted the Vita TV is considered a console and it's small. The Console base does not need to be a full sized console like the NGX for it to work.

The year is 2025. I am being injected intravenously with cocaine and adrenaline as Mario in 4800p is projected directly into my eyeballs, streaming from my WiiDeSU.

Handhelds are pretty much dead. And a device that can work as a hybrid while still generating acceptable graphics for big TVs is tough to make cheap, which is the main thing a new Nintendo handheld needs to be.

Nintendo is done, sooner rather than later if they sink a huge amount of money into some stupid qol piece of poo poo.

You'll never be rid of physical media though. Any future system shall need to have cards/discs for a format.

If you're dropping 60 bucks, you might as well have a physical copy to act as a backup because poo poo can still be installed from a disc.

Yeah they've all but explicitly said that their next console and handheld will have a unified development platform, but that might just mean a lot more cross-compatibility and releases that show up on both, not necessarily literally the same hardware.

Yeah, hell, the WiiU gamepad can run games almost by itself, I reckon the next console will likely be something like that, a handheld that you can plug into a moniter and get a better resolution, more players etc.

That would actually be really cool, but it seems like it'd be pretty limited by the hardware since it'd be a portable mostly. That might be less of an issue since Nintendo doesn't really try to make cutting edge hardware, performance wise, though.

It's really hard and I'm getting really mad at it, whatever this game is needs to click with me because I'm 4 missions in and I get my rear end kicked. It's obvious it's a good game though.
