Are they going to slow development on 3DS and switch to a more smartphone style handheld to use the NS carts? If not, then they're not really doing themselves any favors making this a portable system. They're still going to have to develop games twice.

Why would they develop games twice?

Didn't understand that part either.
From.what I see is the same game for both. Different as they are doing now with some Wii U and 3DS, in that case they are developing two games.
I think that the way they are taking is better economically for us

Yes, I mean that if they don't make a smaller handheld with a lower price point, they're still going to end up developing for both 3DS and the NS. It'd be a smarter move to create a smaller handheld that handles the games like the NS rather than continuing to develop for the 3DS.

I think they are going to stop in some point both systems (Wii U and 3ds/2ds)

I hate to say it, but I'm not impressed... At all. Those controllers look really stupid sliding them on an off. I wonder how much they wil make from people having to replace their controllers they lost.

Don't understand your question.
why it's suppose to be a thing?

I could see families EATING this up! "It's my turn, no it's my turn ... KIDS, share!" Outside of 2 player I could see this as being tough to accomplish. I've watched plenty of videos with my girlfriend on my 5" phone or 7" tablet screen. Even if you have to share I've done plenty of gaming on the old 2.5" Gameboy screen.
If he price is right, I could see parents purchasing one console and deciding down the road to purchase another one for each member of the family. That AND they have the option to incrementally upgrade with more systems as time progresses as it was built to share.
---------------------------------------
One thing virtually no one is talking about is the longevity and wear this handheld potentially fixes. The most common problem I see on old handhelds it broken or worn out buttons. Controller joysticks eventually have deadzones and just become worn out from overuse. Since the controllers are detachable we could simply replace the worn out pieces.
Also, limited edition controller pieces (ie gray w/ maroon GB buttons, SNES theme, NES theme, GCN theme etc.). I will buy controllers FOR-EH-VER!!Can you imagine getting a 'GCN Themed' controller that has the actual correct button shapes to play virtual console games on?
It is a day one purchase for me (most consoles are though)!
