I think the key focus for Nintendo right now should be lining up resources to grow the Switch, as that is their future. The installbase for the Switch is not yet at the point where it can be considered viable, so Nintendo needs to do as much as possible to grow the base, and that includes having the vast majority of development capacity behind it.
As for the 3DS, there are still plenty of avenues to continue supporting it until its sales curve flatlines. In the West, there are good number of Japanese games, largely third-party titles, that they can localize and potentially publish. They can also bring smaller projects to the system like a WarioWare style game. Ideally it would be nice if some of the future larger 3DS projects (if there any left; I suspect there may be 1 or 2 potentially left) to the Switch as well. However, I do not believe they need to do much beyond that at this point to entice newer buyers; chances are that people that are purchasing the 3DS/2DS these days were hold outs because of price and already have games available int he backlog that they want to play (many of which are cheaper now).
