You're only thinking in terms of the plastic casing; The plastic casing's shape is determined by the internal components, which may need to be significantly rearranged to make as small a change as small as:

Making the bottom screen a little lower/ the bumpers on the upper screen bigger...

Making the changes to the plastic casing as you have described here also requires significant expense to Nintendo in terms of retooling machinery for the purposes of injection moulding.

Considering the costs involved in making even a slight design alteration, Nintendo may as well make a complete design overhaul rather than just throw all that money away on a slight modification - and continuing production of a flawed console is a bad business decision too, especially considering that the way the console 'damages itself' impacts upon the consoles main USP* - the 3D screen.

*Unique Selling Point.

There are issues with the 3DS other than the battery life - most notably the edges of the raised lower screen making score marks on the upper 3D screen through impacts/friction when kept in someone's pocket/bag.

Big design flaw - one that needs a complete design overhaul.


A big design flaw that effects a small number of consumers normally (as in their console was defective since it was made), and an even smaller number where the problem was actually caused by misuse of the system (people have broken their top screen by sitting on the 3DS, this pushing the bottom screen's raised edges through the top screen). There has also been people with buttons that don't work at all or with the speakers not producing sound. These are all primarily issues with the individual units, not the overall design, so a redesign to fix a problem that isn't caused by faulty design but rather sloppy assembly or flawed parts making it into the unit is a waste of resources. It happens to all systems, and most of them generally don't warrant a complete redesign (The 360 did an internal overhaul for the RROD issue, and that was because of the high failure rate (but even then, it wasn't a complete revamp of the system))

Yeah, the worst that happens to my 3DS is I need to wipe the top screen off sometimes.

Same, if my top screen is getting marks from the bottom screen border, then I haven't noticed.

My screen also only needs a wipe down every so often - but it is a design flaw nonetheless.

Finally finished the final stage of Face Raiders. That disco ball thing is so annoying.

I think it's kinda sad that the only 3DS game I've played so far is Zelda:OoT. Please tell me something awesome is coming soon. Aside from the first 10 ambassador games. Something NEW.

Can't have everything in a list of only 10 games. Some games are "meh". And I didn't even know there was a Yoshi game before Yoshi's Island.

So...there is this thing they are putting up for download called the ambassador certificate.
http://mynintendonews.com/2011/08/30/ni ... rtificate/

It will just give Ambassadors notifications when games are ready to download +more info and shit.


The problem is, nobody knows where the fuck to download it...
at least not anybody I know of.

EDIT: It looks like it will be the next Nintendo Video they send out.
Fuck, it looks like I'll have to re-download that now.
