Fire Emblem is a home console serie and the 3DS is also getting a new game. Wii U not getting fire emblem was the anomaly.

If the Switch is the same flop than the Wii U, then yes, Nintendo will keep relying on the 3DS and then after its true and rightful successor.

No, it's not an anomaly. Nintendo said that HD development was too expensive to put Fire Emblem on a home console. They quite clearly view the Switch as both a home console and handheld. Besides, the franchise is clearly more popular on handheld than home console. 

The 3DS is 6 years old, just let it go already man, it's getting sad. $300 is not expensive for something that lasts 5+ years lol. 

300$ + 30*6 = 480.... Not even talking about the price of the games....

The Switch is overpriced to the limits. I expect Nintendo to take a hard blow on the market with it following the first months. And they will be happy to have the 3DS generating income if the Switch fails. Never put all your eggs in the same basket.

Pokemon has great online functionnality, and it would be bad to put a paywall on it. It would divide the fanbase when on 3DS it's free and user friendly.
