Report: Nintendo 3DS Redesign Hitting this Summer
Reports are stating, ahead of Nintendo's E3 press conference tomorrow, that a redesigned 3DS handheld will be announced for release in the summer - and that the upcoming Wii U could cost around £250 when it launches in late 2012.

The new Nintendo 3DS will apparently be revealed during the Big N's conference on Tuesday evening, and will feature a larger body and screen. According to the Nikkei, the 4.3 inch screen will be equivalent to roughly 1.5 times the size of the current 3DS screen. Rumours of s redesign in recent months have also suggested the inclusion of a second Circle Pad Pro.

Nintendo will announce the redesign for release worldwide in the next couple of months. While some of the philosophy and technical specification of the Wii U console was revealed in an official video earlier today, the price is expected to be announced tomorrow - the Nikkei reckons it will hit a price point of 30,000 Japanese Yen (£250).
