Nintendo PDS

The Nintendo PDS is a foldable handheld game console produced by Nintendo, released globally across late 2025. It succeeds the Nintendo 3DS line of systems.
== Development ==
Development on the Nintendo PDS began around mid-2023, following an original idea from Nintendo president Shuntaro Furuwaka about a cost-effective fun handheld. On August 6th, 2024, Nintendo announced that it would be releasing a new game console in 2025. The company did not provide many details, but stated it would not succeed the Nintendo Switch. On February 23rd, 2025, the console was announced as the “Nintendo PDS".
== Features ==
The system has motion and gyroscopic detection for interactivity with the games and apps that use movement of the system, and features dual analog control referred to by Nintendo as a 'Circle Pad'. It has removable kisekae faceplates that you can buy from Nintendo's website. The adjustable telescopic stylus like fits in the right side of the bottom half of the console and can be adjusted in a length of up to 3.94 inches long. The system charges via the USB-C port on the top of the bottom half. There is no cartridge slot, the games are instead all on the Nintendo eShop.

Main article: Nintendo PDS XL
At the end of a June Nintendo Direct in 2026, a new model called Nintendo PDS XL, made for people with bigger hands, was shown off and the release date was set for August 6th, 2026. However, for unknown reasons, it was pushed back to November 2nd. It has all the same features as the small-size PDS console, but Nintendo PDS XL is bundled with a larger stylus for the elderly to use more comfortably, alongside the telescopic stylus that fits in the console.
