Hey guys. This is a contest by yours truly. Design Nintendo's next Handheld. Here's the rules.

1) You need to show It's physical design. What does it look like? I don't care if you draw it and scan the pictures, or do it digitally on your computer. The more details the better.

2) What's the technical specs and How much will it cost? Release date?

3) Name it.

That's the minimum of what I'd like to see. If you want to get more on depth..then kudos!

4) All entries must be posted by November 1st. That's 2 weeks from today.

The best part...the winner will get a $25 Gamestop gift card just in time for the Wii U launch! ( don't say I never Did anything for you guys!)

Once the deadline hits I will hold a public vote to narrow down to the top 3 where I will then cast the final vote. In the event not enough people participate..then there will be no need for a public vote lol.

Let me know if you plan on entering the contest so I can get an idea of what to expect.

ALSO..please PM me the designs. Don't post them. I will post them after the deadline.

Good luck and happy designing guys!

Am I allowed to enter it? Also, do I need to describe every single technical specification? Or just the main specs?

I'll see what I can do with just an iPad and my drawing skills. Just one entry per person?

I suggest modifying your design, such as the ABXY Buttons on the top side rather than the top.

Bring it on!!!! Jk Lol is is gonna be so fun!

2) What's the technical specs and How much will it cost? Release date?

Tricky I have a question though? If we're designing the tech specs and the release date will be far into the future, can we lower the price of what it will be? Like if I wanna use (Just an Example) 1 GB of SDRAM and it costs $20 now, and I'm releasing it in...2025 (Just another example) can we make an assumption on what the price will be then?

Wait it has to make sense? Dang it...

[Mitch]

The next big thing is definately gonna be the "Nintendo Knitting Machine 2 Go"



You want us to PM you the designs right? to help maintain design anonymity

I will be entering this, even though I know nothing about specs.

[kirbylover]

I think the nintendo gba4ds* should be there next handheld. It should go up to 24 hours in battery power. With smart internet like a phone. It should be released in 2020. It's pack-in game will be super smash bros. dadvances.

I don't know how to use photoshop so i had to use windows paint.

GBA4ds stands for game boy advance 4 dual-screen

[Soul]

^10 buttons and a touch screen way to much.
