It&#8217;s just as true that many hardware projects don&#8217;t see the light of day.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Taking this into account, this tease could perhaps be taken with a pinch of salt; given that Nintendo has scored such a major success with Switch &#8211; which unifies the handheld and home console arenas in a single platform &#8211; it&#8217;s hard to see why it would produce another system focused on either of these two sectors. Unless, of course, the system to which\u00a0Takahashi refers to is something <em>totally<\/em> different and utterly groundbreaking.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think? Could we see another dedicated handheld or home console system hit the market alongside the Switch? Or could\u00a0Takahashi be referring to another &#8220;Classic Edition&#8221; release, perhaps based on the Game Boy or N64?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nintendo did moderately well at this year&#8217;s BAFTA awards, scooping three awards on the night.
