According to Nikkei Trendy, Nintendo might be planning on updating the 3DS's design.

Update: It turns out that Nikkei Trendy was speculating based on past Nintendo actions; they had no new information regarding a 3DS revision.
In the latest issue of Nikkei Trendy, a blurb appears underneath a picture of what appears to be a standard 3DS.
Very loosely translated, this text reads, "To promote sales of the 3DS, which is thick, a new lighter version may be introduced."
This is clearly pretty vague, but it could be leading to more concrete news down the line for a 3DS hardware revision. As for the scan itself, we implore you to find anything new about the 3DS that they display.
I was just there.... posted a link about the Vita MH game... that's how you found this isn't it?Um.. check your math. That doesn't add up to 4.
Surprised I missed that even though we all figured it would happen sooner or later. Seems too soon though. Maybe next year.
But if they are gonna release an updated version 4 things they MUST change to make it worthwhile
1.) Bigger Better Battery. they could easily double the battery power in the 3DS and extend batter life to acceptable levels.
2.) Wider viewing angles for the 3D on the 3D screen. It's easy to find yourself about to go cross-eyed in MK7 because you moved the handheld slightly exiting the sweet spot and having to steer through the double vision because you're too occupied with holding your position in the race to correct the position of the 3DS... or is that just me?
3.) Move the stylus back to the right side of the unit. It's hard to get to in the back. I always have to look to get it out and put it back.,
Optional
4.) Better Cameras. The .2MP cameras they use are garbage. The videos are even worse, especially in low lighting.
5.) Inward facing 3D Cameras. It would be great with that video chat app we know you're just dying to release.
Extremely Optional
Build in the CPP - we know it's gonna happen eventually, so just get it over with.

I think it would fit in perfectly with an XL model since they won't want to make a CPP specifically for it. That would also lead into the the 4DS having CPP as standard setup.
But i agree, that's why I put it under extremely optional and noted that it would eventually happen
a smaller one!? I don't think so..... as BnM alluded to... let me know when the 3DS XL is ready and you'll have my money!!"BnM alluded to"? Are you trying to give BlackNMild2k1 credit for that? I'm actually the one who first alluded to it, thank you very much.
The 4DS? You mean a device that only allows to view 3Ds images, but allow you to see into the future (time being the 4th dimension)? :-P

other than that? I'm perfectly happy with the device. I also have not had any issues with battery life.

Of course. See, some people would have just thought that I meant the successor to the 3DS, but not you. you get me. ;) :P: : :
The 3DS is a really flawed piece of hardware, it really needs a new iteration.

What flaws really? It's a perfect size, really comfortable (unless you have gigantic hands), the stylus spot is fine. The only hardware flaw is the short battery life (I know I have seen people complain about the screen leaving a mark, though this hasn't happened to me)..
