I sincerely hope they don't continue to support 3DS; that would effectively kill the Switch, as it would have the same problem as Wii U, not enough games because studios are split between two platforms.

The thing is though, the kind of support we're seeing for Switch doesn't seem like what I'd expect from a platform with all of Nintendo's development power behind it. What they've revealed so far seems more like the Wii U; only a handful of major titles a year with filler like indies and old ports in between.

They haven't announced all games yet, but what did the Wii U have for the first 9 months? Nintendoland, New Super Mario Bros. U (which was basically the Wii version in HD) and Pikmin 3. 

In 2017 the Switch will get The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, 1-2 Switch, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Arms, Splatoon 2, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Super Mario Odyssey. That's already a vast improvement if you ask me. 

In it's first year Wii U also got Wind Waker HD, New Super Luigi U, Sing Party, Wii Sports Club, Wii Party U, and Wii Fit U. That's 9 first party titles in its first year, Switch doesn't look like it will significantly surpass that unless they're holding back a ton of announcements.

I mean, if this is supposed to replace 3DS as well as the Wii U, then where's Monster Hunter, Pokemon, and other portable staples?
