Nintendo 3DS Lite on the way. Sheep got owned.

I thought you guys said Nintendo wouldn't do it, huh?

TSHBO if true. If not, OPHBO.

I followed the links and found not much info, but the one "picture" they had only had one circle pad

Just because you see it "reported" in a magazine doesn't mean it's true.

LOL no 2nd analog stick, epic fail from nintendo

3DS is dooomed

Revisions happen all the time, oh and TSHBO if true.

It's just Gamshtopper trying to herp the derp again, move along.

The picture was just an ordinary 3DS, probably a translation error, it is a Japanese based magazine so pretty likely.

They wouldn't announce a 3DS lite so soon, no need the 3DS is selling well and they are currently losing money on each unit sold, so releasing a new one so soon will probably lead to more losses. It's not like the internal chips and batteries would have improved enough to go smaller and lighter, not until late 2012-2013.

If that is indeed the Lite model, then I feel FAR LESS bad in buying a launch model. I've been playing games for almost a year on the thing. I do hope that isn't it though because I was hoping for something much better.

Always thought there would be a 3DS Lite, in fact I refuse to buy a 3DS until that happen.

And I still don't get how some people still believe there won't be. I mean it's not like Nintendo has never done that with every single one of their handhelds before. And the current 3DS is so damn perfect with it's poor battery life, lack of 2nd analog or that flaw where the lower screen scratch the upper one.

I mean comon why would Nintendo even think of releasing a revision. :|

The GBA came out in 2001. The GBA SP came out in 2003.

The DS came out in 2004. The DS Lite came out in 2006.

The 3DS came out in 2011. The 3DS Lite will most likely come out in 2013.

Give it another year, people.

DS came out November 2004

DS lite came out March 2006.

That's 1 year and4 months.

3DS Lite hitting Q3 or Q4 2012is a huge possibility

Even if it were true i have this one

Trust me, i do not feel owned at all.

But yeah, I could see a revision happening this December or early January.

Not Q3 though. That just seems a little too early.

It doesn't need a second analog, its a handheld system designers should make there games designed for the system not a home console.

And whatever you said about the lower screen scratching the upper one is a bunch of bull.

It's basically Ninty's call.

Personally, I don't think a revision is warranted until next year considering the 3DS is already aethestically pleasing and all that.

But like I said, I won't be surprised if it came out end of Q3 or early Q4.

Nintendo tends to announce these things months in advance.

Perhaps a TGS announcement in September with a holiday release?

I think this next E3 is going to be all about the Wii U. A handheld revision announcement would just get in the way of things.

If you look the verson of this topic on the 3DS forums, you'll see a post by ShuichiChamp24

He said

"From the translation, it's seems like it's pure speculation. Here, not mine.

:As someone who can read the print...this isnt even a rumor. Its noting a "possibility". Pure speculation. that being said, of course it is true. 春[3DS Lite]が登場か 3DSの普及を進めるために弱点である「厚み」や「騒動時間」を改良した軽量バージョンが出る可能性がある。"

So yeah, seems like its nothing more than them speculating.

The rumor may not be true yet so the sheep haven't been owned.I already knew that a second revision would come out for the 3DS eventually, but it will come out in the next year or two.

The revision wont have a 2nd analog!! Thats like Sony giving the ps2 slim 4 controller ports. ppl will be pissed!Kaszilla

GameShtopper

A guy who could read the original article said that it's mear speculation, with nothing confirmed.

Dumbass.

I doubt it, but I would be happy if they did. It will cost me what? 50 bucks to upgrade to it. No big deal to me.

I don't care. The little beast is already too small anywayLost-Memory

Yeah I do not want it any smaller. My only big complaint is the design having the screen scratching issues. Aside from this, there is not much that bothers me.

So it'll be slightly thinner and have better battery life? and that's it? It's not worth upgrading yet if you already have a launch unit.

A bunch of bull huh, yet I've heard a fair share of complains about it.
And if it doesn't need a 2nd analog why the hell did Nintendo felt the need to release an ugly bulky 2nd analog attachment. There better be a 2nd analog built in in that revision. I'm sure 3rd parties would appreciate that aswell as future owners as they'd never have to buy such an ugly *** attachment.

The remodel WILL likely have the second stick, and the thing about screen scratching is TRUE. I own the 3DS and have noticed slight scuff marks. I don't even know if it is scratched yet, or just dust from the bottom screen, but the border from the touch screen certainly touches the top screen when closed. Look at your screen in sunlight and I bet you'll notice some marks--thats how I noticed.

But yes, the remodel will offer something that entices current owners to upgrade. Two analog sticks just offers better controls and opens up for more genres on the portable.

That wouldn't be a good idea since we'll start getting games that REQUIRE the second analog attachment. The second analog is not meant to be standard, and I hope it stays that way. I like to be persuaded to buy a product, not forced because the hardware I bought is now defunct. Unless I'm getting 10 ambassador games.Eponique

I understand the frustration, and I bet Nintendo knows complaints are inbound once the dual stick unit is revealed. I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo sells the stick attachment for a short while--it will probably be bundled with MH--and then eventually offers it free with some form of program; you register you system and it is free by mail.

If you ask me, anyone who didn't think a revision is coming is in denial. Of course a revision of the 3DS will come but it for sure isn't confirmed to be anytime soon. Could be the end of this year or it could be next year, all we have to go on is speculation.

Its not like I'm bothered that I got my 3DS though. I'm loving it now, its getting plenty of use and I'm excited for what's to come.

kNew I should of waited.

Slim consoles..

And what is wrong with revised hardware? The PSP went through 3 different, major, revisions over its lifespan. Hell, the PS3 and 360 have gone through what... 10 each? I don't see the issue here.foxhound_fox

The PS3 seems to update every dang time I turn it on!:lol:

I beg to differ. When is MH coming out? If wiiu is coming out next holiday(nov/dec) then the remodel will be out before that.

They'd have to come up with an actual improvement before a revision comes, the DSlite was needed because the original DS had a terrible design and a pretty poor screen too.

The 3DS is well designed, so a revision will only come either when they can get a better battery and/or a 3D screen with a wider viewing angle, and possibly a second analog stick. A more likely scenario will be an XL version.

I can't see a lite version coming out as it is already the same size as the DSlite, so a revision will be a waste of time unless they want it really small, with a 2 inch screen.

APiranhaAteMyVa

a newer design would have longer battery life and a better camera. Not that big a deal. If a newer version is thinner that would be good but I'm happy with the feel of my 3DS. The 3DS is based on the DSlite anyway so... I'm just hoping that they don't make a revision with a second analog stickGunSmith1_basic
