I have a love hate relationship with rumors. Sometimes they are absolutely fascinating and so far out there they are funny. Other times they get my hopes up just to crush them later on. Below are the type of rumors I find fascinating and make me think what if?

According to the rumor Nintendo is looking into the possibility of adding another circle-pad to the 3DS. It is unclear if this will be some type of extension on for the current model or a brand new 3DS design. Nintendo has already began creating a game that will take advantage of both of the circle pads.

Is that crazy enough for you, no, well it becomes even crazier. According to the rumor Nintendo is also creating a new platform that doesn’t focus on 3D. It is unclear if the platform will be the 3DS with out the 3D…so DS2…or if this will be some other type of system.

If I saw these rumors a month ago I would  call all bogus. After all that has happened to Nintendo this last month I would not put anything past them.

Update:

This rumor just keeps getting bigger and  bigger as the day goes on. Now people are reporting that Nintendo will be holding a 3DS press conference sometime in September, some saying the 13. This press conference is supposed to hold a big announcement and a game for the 3DS owners. We will keep an eye on this to see how it unfolds.

Update 2: September 13th press conference confirmed. Check it out HERE.
