Nintendo also said the next 3D Mario wouldn't be shown until E3 2017 at the earliest, that among many many many other examples is why their word is far from law. Nintendo should well know by now that they cannot adequately support two systems. I believe after next year the unified library will truely kick in and all of Nintendo including Gamefreak will be making games for one platform. They still wanna sell 3DS in the meantime so that's why they put out this PR babble.

I could be forgetting something, but I'm assuming you're talking about the Mario game shown in the Switch trailer. If that's the game you mean, I wouldn't still consider it as having been shown yet because it was no reveal for the game. It hasn't even been admitted to exist yet. And personally I think Nintendo will want to stick to handheld development as long as possible, mainly because of lower development costs. You have good points though, I just don't agree with them personally.

But it does exist! We all saw it! They just haven't talked about it yet.

Longer than one more year though? This is just my speculation but I doubt the 3DS is gonna do that well next year with it's current line-up and NS as competition, and 2018 is just gonna be worse. More games will probably be announced but I'm honestly hoping the ones we know of are the last. It's definitely safe to say that 3DS has nowhere to go but down while the NS naturally needs a lot of games especially early on to be successful.

Also NS being an HD system doesn't mean every game on it has to have a triple A budget. Nintendo has already made HD games that can sell for the price of 3DS games like Woolly World and (in areas outside the U.S.) Splatoon. This should be even easier to do now that they're familar with this level of hardware and already have assets n engines n stuff. But yeah, you don't have to agree with any of what I said, I'm probably gonna be dead wrong as per usual anyway. :L
