Nintendo - The 3DS is dead? - View Post

Not dead but declining, and not surprising given it's over four years from launch in a portable market that has massively contracted.

There's the Animal Crossing spin-off and Fire Emblem from Nintendo, a bunch of Japanese games that could get localised and E3 is taking place next month. I wouldn't be surprised if we see one or two more New 3DS exclusives, something like The Last Story 3D, for example. I'd also hope for more announcements from Nintendo themselves.

As others have pointed out, software support for 3DS has remained fairly strong so far this year anyway, and with E3 around the corner, it's not surprising there are blank spots on the calendar. I think 3DS will have a decent 12 months from this E3 to next E3, after that we'll see software support really dry up.
