Nintendo's next device will reportedly, bizarrely, be donut-shaped


There's an intriguing report from Kyodo that Nintendo will use Sharp's "free-form" LCDs on an oddly-shaped new console or other product. Sharp recently showed off IGZO-based displays that move the control circuits away from the bezel, allowing for funky, non-rectangular shapes, as shown above. Nintendo will reportedly use the tech for a device with a "donut-hole" at the center, either a new 3DS portable console or an unusual sleep-tracking device it recently teased. If all that is accurate, it's not clear why Nintendo would want a screen with a hole -- possibly to display extra game info around the controls? Your guess is as good as ours.
