The 3D effect was all but just a visual experiment that was proven to have little to no bearing on actual game play (2DS confirmed this), but legitimate attempts were made to add a new dimension of play into the games for those who didn't get cross-eyed staring at stereoscopic images.

If visuals have no bearing on gameplay (and thus don't matter I guess?) what is the point of going third party? I thought the idea was to get Nintendo games pushing out better visuals and performance? 

I don't want to call the 3DS a gimmick, while it's a valid claim for those who just turned it off, but in the end, you could turn it off and some people couldn't even use it for whatever reason. They had one eye, it gave them headaches, whatever. Personally, I liked it, even though it was pretty gimmicky. 

The only reason I see for Nintendo to get behind non Nintendo exclusives is if they simply want to expand their business model. They have been dabbling in the mobile space. But it would have nothing to do with saving consumers $299 so they don't have to buy a Switch (that Nintendo wants to sell consumers) or whatever piece of hardware Nintendo is currently selling. 

If someone is attempting to raise the argument that people just want to play current Nintendo games in 4K because they just bought a 4K display, that's not really Nintendo's concern.
