Next Version Of The 3DS Announced

The extremely popular 3DS.

Despite being just over a year old, Nintendo has announced that they are working on a successor for the 3DS.

Although offering little other than a tantalising glimpse into the futuristic plans of the gaming giant, Nintendo’s famed Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto has confirmed the Japanese tech giant is already putting into motion ideas to follow on from its 3DS handheld.

"What we're thinking about right now is probably going to be for a future generation of handheld," Miyamoto said when questioned on recent rumours of an upcoming Nintendo 3DS XL release with a second analogue Circle Pad inbuilt

Although the console was originally swamped with health risks and motion sickness problems Miyamoto seems to have confidence that the competition of handheld consoles has just started with the statement: "I really feel like I'm satisfied with the 3DS hardware as it is. I feel like it's the best for this generation."
