*NEW 3DS* will support HTML5

*NEW 3DS* will have better cpu and will support HTML5. That's all that came out, but maybe we'll be able to get some c2 apps on it!

Imagine if nintendo entered the smartphone market...

awesome!

I wonder if it will have a nice browser to use with it.

hmm. kinda possible.

Wii-U uses Netfront NX apparently

and the new 3ds will also be using NetFront.

However. I don't think Nintendo would allow only the new machines to WebApps and leave the old machines behind; on which is supposed to mostly be the same system itterations. DS to DSi was the large step. But who knows. Maybe in a few months the new 3ds will support web apps.

jayderyu Normally I would agree with you, but Nintendo is already locking out games that don't support the new hardware. Xenoblade Chronicles was just announced and only works on the new system.

Exciting idea, but I can't see it happening - Nintendo will effectively kill their own titles if they expect a £30 catridge game to stand up to a 99p casual game.

Now if Nintendo went digital, that'd be interesting.

Yep. that's not normal Nintendo behaviour. Well maybe webapps will be coming. Maybe Ashley should talk to the Nintendo reps.

interesting.

Yeah but what if they released a phone?

But companies like square enix have insane prices for their apps, often of their old games, and very successfully too

Will have an eye on this, sounds promising...

It was about time to refresh the hardware ... While the current 3DS hardware was enough for games, the fact that was much more weaker than a LowEnd smartphone should rise some question marks
