I didn't realize you meant first party support only. Still, one can hardly accuse Nintendo of abandoning SNES too early.

Oh god no, not that they jumped ship early, the SNES was being pumped out by Nintendo for almost 10 years, like I said... for a console built around a 2mhz chip inside it, it was around far far longer than you would have expected thanks to great software and addon chips like the super fx chip and such.

I just meant that when the N64 was announced and launched their first party games moved there and in cases like Lylat wars / Star Fox 2 they picked up projects which were in the works for the SNES and done work to bring those into the 64bit world, which again I really think is the way to go, I mean... imagine if you were to buy a PS4 but then 1 year down the road Sony announced a massive first party title... for the PS3, like... would you not feel like a bigger derp for upgrading to a new console which then did not get a port of that game. Would just be insane to mistreat your early adopters.

Which is why for Nintendo's sake I hope 3DS is swiftly killed off once Switch releases. If this "unified library" is to come to fruitition, they're can't afford to have 3DS leeching off Switch.
