Nintendo XDS
(this page was ported over from videogamefanon)The Nintendo XDS released in March of 2024 as a successor to the Nintendo 3DS and was developed by Nintendo and Virtual Augmented Reality Studios.

The XDS was widely received during its release and was praised for its backwards compatibility with all 3ds and ds systems as well as an extra slot for Switch games(only handheld mode). This was the first 3ds to have ZR and ZL triggers that actually are triggers(cough 3ds). The XDS can run up to 300 terabytes of storage as well as having 24 hours of battery life. The 3D switch was also removed as all games(except older ones run in 3d). The screen has up 4k resolution but can be turned down all the way to 720p. It also brought back Miiverse, in a way. They released NintendoVerse, a place to talk about all your favorite games and ask for help from them. You were even allowed to share codes and such so people could join you. Luckily there were moderators. It had a wider screen and the zr and zl triggers were foldable so when you close it they don't stick out. The sides of it were indented a little bit for comfortable playing. People were upset by the fact that the loading screen changed but it quickly grew on them. Its launch titles were

Homebrewers
Nintendo tried their best to prevent homebrew, by adding safeguards and threats of a destroyed XDS. However that didn't stop anyone.

Gimmick
The Main gimmick of this console was augmented reality. Since Nintendo added Joy Con ,Pro controller and bluetooth support, They decided it should be possible to have 2-4 players on XDS. They tested out Augmented reality so someones Reality glasses would show player 1's screen and the other player 2. It worked perfectly! They even made augmented reality menus! The XDS came bundled with 2 Augmented Reality Glasses, and a XDS PRO CONTROLLER. It was basically a Switch pro controller but better.
