| RolStoppable said: MyNintendoNews is the worst site for Nintendo news, because its writers have a habit of posting misleading headlines. Doug Bowser's statements are marketing lines to sell the New 2DS XL and the remaining 3DS games that are still in development. It's Doug Bowser's job to sell Nintendo's active and relevant products. The poll question is non-sensical because Nintendo has already stopped focusing on the 3DS. Switch has literally taken the Spotlight while the 3DS got relegated to the Treehouse at the recent E3. |
This is not the first time Nintendo states they believe 3DS can coexist with the Switch, yes it's a good thing they're trying to sell as many units as possible but the Switch is meant to unite both their console and handheld experiences, in other words... We don't need another Nintendo dedicated handheld anymore.
Which is what Nintendo seems to be thinking, they might release a successor to the 3DS or just keeping the 3DS alive by releasing another Pokemon game, the most recent generation is not even 2 years old and could've worked perfectly on the Switch. But no instead they create an 'enhanced' version of the same game on the same system...
I know Nintendo doesn't own Pokemon but it's yet another missed opportunity with the Metroid Remake.
| VGPolyglot said: I think they may be saying that because they're working on a portable variant of the Switch. |
Well this is Nintendo so you never know but what would be the point of that? If Nintendo really wants to convince more third parties they need to do another New 3DS... a Switch with a Tegra 2 in 2019.
| Jumpin said: Sure, but Nintendo should not make a separate platform. All handheld games should work on the Switch as well. It is already disappointing enough that we still have 3DS games coming out that have no equivalent on the Switch. |
Thats what I'm saying Nintendo seems to like the handheld market so much that they don't want to abandon it, but really unless they come up with a Nintendo Phone or something like that i dont see them being successful competing with phones and tablets anymore, it just won't do it. Switch is a mix of both and so it should be the new standard in their console line.
