It's not a question off should they, more the fact that they need to in order for it to be succesful



The Switch is replacing the 3DS, whether people like it or not. Expect a Pokemon Switch announcement within the next year.

I expect so, I really want to see golden sun on the switch. And a final fantasy crystal chronicles.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

Of course they're going to. The Switch is essentially Nintendo's admission that they can no longer support two unique platforms with unique libraries. From what I read, they're promoting it as a console first in the west because consoles are more popular here but are promoting it more as a portable in Japan because portable gaming is dominant there.

I'm sorry but there are Mario Golf and Tennis games to be made.



Of Course, that's whole point of Switch, home console and handheld in same time, you will have full 3D Zelda and Mario, but also Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem..



Of course they should. I'm very curious to see how Mario & Luigi will work on the Switch. Will it go 3D, remain sprite-based, or even go for high-quality 2D art? Hopefully won't take long for a Pokémon game too.



I guess my question should have been "Will there be another designated handheld, like 3DS, how that the Switch is out?" My buddy thinks they absolutely will make a new designated handheld. Me, I have no clue. It really depends. I will say, I don't know about you all but I don't want my kids taking the switch off the dock and using it. They've already broken 3 of my controllers (and my kids are pretty good kids).
