Jason Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Wasn't one of the benefits of the Switch supposed to be addressing the long dry spells Nintendo consoles are known for by not having to split their development efforts between home console and handheld?

Hurdyb1 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 As a gamer that loves my 3DS and this past Sunday just recently upgraded to the New Nintendo 3DS XL, I love this news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy4000 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 They'll put their C teams on the platform. Maybe port more Gamecube games and remaster DS titles. It's fine. I do think Nintendo has a point about the 3DS's portability. It's a clam shell design, small and cheap, which is automatically better for kids. I just don't want them to make a 3DS successor. ... I would take a new Advanced Wars on the 3DS. I don't want to play that series without a stylus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I'll take a new Advance Wars anywhere. If Nintendo was smart, they would port the game to smartphones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkness35 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Give it another 2-3 years and then we'll have about a good sizeable base that have Switches. Or the inevitable price drop for the Switch. Whichever comes first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 The failure of the WiiU has given Nintendo easy fillers to avoid any dry spells for the Switch. All hail the WiiU! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxEvil AshxX Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I have the first 2DS that they released and I own two games for it, Donkey Kong Country Returns and Mario Kart 7, cuz MK7 came with it. I would have dozens of games for it if they didn't hold their price for so damn long. If I could get a 3 for $20 deal or something I'd be all over it, but I can't get myself to spend $30+ on a game I'd play for an hour any time I got on a plane.

Littleronin Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I believe we heard this in opposite when Nintendo was reaffirming their support for the WiiU. You know saying that while stepping on its breathing hose in an attempt to find where life support was plugged in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Except 3DS continues to get support, where they just let Wii U die almost immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't think that's really an issue. According to Nintendo's recent earnings report the switch has sold 22.8M units, which is more than the lifetime total of the GameCube. If their projections hold, they'll have topped the original Xbox by March. Sure, it's a far cry from the 73.5M units that the 3DS has sold, but Nintendo is still projecting that Switch software will outsell 3DS software by a factor of more than 5.

legend Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 As a switch only owner (as in Switch only for Nintendo platforms) with no interest in 3DS the split development support displeases me If they release games on both, then that's probably fine, but the Switch one will be a bit gimped.

gamer.tv Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I now need a very, very cheap 2DS release (essentially the cost of a game with £10 added on) with something pre-installed and I'll re-buy it. I loved my 3DS and rue the day I spilled lemonade on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling the 3DS is mostly going to get ports/remakes of older games along with some lower budget stuff. That's what it's been getting and what's been announced for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclyp Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I would like them to kill it. Ports or stuff they can put their C team on, fine whatever. Otherwise give me as much Nintendo stuff on the Switch as possible. It is looking kinda sparse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALBW is essential, particularly for being the only 'traditional' Zelda without dungeon items. It should only be $20, you might find it cheaper used.
