They only spent $3.8 million on a game that was announced all the way back in 2011?

They clearly weren't working on it during that time.

You need that much money nowadays to make a decent game (because of the platform (3DS))? 

TBH probably not, I imagine this game will have had a relatively small team. But games do cost an awful lot to make, average salary is $49k. That's $980k just to pay a team of 20 for a year.
