Nintendo is busy dreaming up new handheld tech, but it isn’t going to be a hardware revision for 3DS – it’s for the next-generation of Nintendo’s portable systems. In a recent interview with IGN (opens in new tab), Shigeru Miyamoto was asked whether there would be a similar ‘XL’ redesign …

Nintendo’s 3DS had a rocky start, but following a crazy huge price cut, it not only got back on track but performed better in eight months than the DS did in its first year. Thanks to the lower price and giant releases like Mario Kart and Monster Hunter 3G in …
