Nintendo might have more up its E3 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/E32012/) sleeve than just final Wii U hardware (http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/03/nintendo-shows-final-wii-u-gamepad-tv-remote-app/) and a boatload of franchise games. According to Nikkei, the Japanese console legend is readying a version of the 3DS (http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/21/nintendo-3ds-review/) with a big 4.3-inch main display. That's smaller than on some smartphones (http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/15/atandt-galaxy-note-review/) we've seen, but a more than substantial jump from the 3.5-inch original. We might not even have long to wait: the trade paper claims that this biggest of all Nintendo handhelds could be ready as soon as the summer, just in time to squeak in some vacation playtime (and prepare us for Luigi's Mansion 2). As always, rumors such as these aren't guaranteed roadmaps; don't be surprised if we just see a regular-sized 3DS in plaid instead. If the plans are real, however, expect the DSi XL (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/nintendo-dsi-xl-review/) to develop feelings of inadequacy.
