Well I'm not sure how you're not sure, I mean where have you been over the past year? :L Pretty much everything Nintendo said and did indicated the NX (regardless of form factor) having a unified library as that would solve some of Nintendo's biggest problems. |
So what would you have them do, drop support for 3DS as well as Wii U? Like other people have said, the 3DS software support--bar Pokemon--is comprised of support from smaller studios, localised titles already out in Japan, and ports of Wii U games. It's not a resource intensive investment on Nintendo's part and there are still tens of millions of 3DS owners to satisfy. Plus, when the NX launches, the user base won't be huge, so there's no point in Nintendo throwing every bit of software at it and hoping it sticks. Releases need to be consistent, but there's no point drowning a new system in releases because early adopters can only buy so many games.
As for amiibo functionality in New Leaf, I think that has more to do with the Animal Crossing app and short term profit than anything else. I expect we'll see a mobile announcement in the Animal Crossing Direct. Who knows, if NX has been revealed by then, we may see an NX version. Everything is up in the air until Nintendo reveal the device and first wave software.
