Nintendo To Announce Revised 3DS At Pre-TGS Event?

Before the Tokyo Game Show officially kicks off in a couple of weeks, Nintendo wants to have themselves a Pre-TGS event. Rumours have been circulating that this event will focus on a revised edition of the 3DS. The two names being thrown around are 3DS Lite and 3DS XL, two names that were used for revised DS hardware.

Another rumour that has been circulating is the a second analogue attachment. However, this seems unlikely due to the fact that it will be optional and will alienate early adopters. A revised 3DS seems to be the more logical choice.

With stiff competition from the smartphone market, as well as the upcoming Playstation Vita, Nintendo needs to do something in order to avoid playing catch up, something Nintendo is not familiar with in the handheld market.

Capsule Computers are in Tokyo for the Tokyo Game Show. Check here for all of the latest news from the Land of The Rising Sun as we countdown to the big show between September 15-18.

Josh is the name, writing is my game... well my degree will say that. But, when uni gets me down (and it does), there is no better way that to grab a chair, sit back and slicing up some DarkspawnI started my gaming interest back in the good old 16 bit era with the Sega Mega Drive and Sonic The Hedgehog 2. I was roughly five years old. To this day I still try to fire up the dusty companion and speed through the wacky and bright levels, jumping on some Badniks, collecting those damn Chaos Emeralds. Then I moved onto Sony's disk based console the Playstation (thanks to my uncle). Since then I have picked up each of Sony's consoles from the 5th to current generation that has been released in Australia (with more to come).In terms of writing about games, I am quite new to the field. I started out late last year with my own blog before deciding to move to greener pastures. I have written a few reviews for the Playstation 3 and Playstation Portable. Features as well. I hope I can flex my muscles while writing with Capsule Computers.If I'm not gaming, however, I'm writing narratives. I am currently trying to kickstart a high fantasy novel (which, hopefully, turns into a complex RPG) that I want done in five years or so. My passion of writing has been there for a long time and has flourished as I grew. I'm into the fantasy genre, both games and novels, and thoroughly enjoy a deep and complex RPG, whether it comes from the East or West.Oh and anime is awesome!
