    Do you think that Nintendo should just stick to handhelds?

    Personally, I've always enjoyed having Nintendo handhelds, and it would definitely be nice to see a greater focus on 3DS.

    If they made a new handheld with graphics that looked good when transferred to a TV, I'd be okay with this. But right now, I do think they still benefit from a big screen experience.

    I have vastly preferred their handheld games and hardware for the last few years though. So, I could understand and perhaps even appreciate this.

    Some of their games like Animal Crossing are great on handhelds, but I would rather play a game like Smash on a TV. I like my Nintendo console.

    I think there are still experiences that are better suited to consoles, but I won't deny that their handhelds have far exceeded their consoles for quite some time.

    Yes as long as it's a handheld that can project onto a TV. I mean that's the dream right? Play on a big TV sitting on your couch but if you have to leave there's no reason to stop. Yes I know that's what the WiiU is doing but I want the opposite of that, stream to the TV and not from it.

    As a person with no interest in the Wii U (outside of a select few titles), I wouldn't mind if they focused all their efforts on something like the 3DS. It may not be as powerful as the VITA, but it's still a sexy lil' machine with a lot of appeal.
