3DS successor coming in the future?

A Japanese tweet has been making the rounds over the past few hours about what one person tied to the investor-side of Nintendo relayed from the company. Apparently, Switch is intended to be a home console successor (Wii U). Nintendo’s home and handheld systems are still separate, with a 3DS successor coming at some point in the future.

Thanks to some digging from Twitter user ZhugeEX, we might have an idea of what to expect from the next Nintendo handheld console. It could be a follow-up to the 3DS handheld device. The patent, which was filed in December and published at the end of June, shows two possible devices.
