Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Should Nintendo bring their handheld IPs to the Switch?

Well Pokemon is already 99% coming as is Fire Emblem so aside from that, I can't think of a ton of the major ones that should be coming over that aren't already doing so.. 

I suppose the following would be sweet - Golden Sun, Animal Crossing, Kirby, Advanced Wars (though War Groove seems to be taking on that role), Rythm Heaven, Scriblenauts, Clubhouse Games, Brain Age.

Most of those franchises would work well with the handheld/tabletop abilities of the Switch along with the touchscreen. Though it'd also be cool to play them in console mode, and the touchscreen features could possibly be emulated with the motion controls of the joycons or just via joystick if needed.

Simple answer? Yes. Even though people will use the switch in many ways, for a lot of people it is still a handheld.



Double post.



Honestly I think all future release games on the 3DS should be on the Switch for the same price.

Then Nintendo slowly moves all games to the Switch while gently laying the 3DS to rest.

But to answer your question. Yes they should move all handheld IPs to the Switch; Pokemon, Kid Icarus, Yokai Watch etc. BUT they dont have to be big AAA games, just merely superior to 3DS. Oh, they also have to perform at 60fps on handheld mode.
