I dissagree, i think the Switch is the proper replacement for both console and handheld lines. Sure the 3DS can continue to get good games but it should slowly die imo. BTW we're really getting off topic here aren't we... Not that it's anything uncommon for a Metroid thread.

We'll agree to disagree then, and yeah, we've strayed too far from the topic.

Why don't count Fire Emblem Echoes? You count Style Savvy 4 and Bye Bye Box Boy! so no reason, all are Nintendo games and they weren't made by Nintendo develop team. Switch came out last year, right? What Nintendo game GBA got when DS came out? Or DS when 3DS was released? Current form of Switch can be put on a big pocket, you know. Just separate two joy-cons and screen then boom, it can fit my pocket

Not counting Fire Emblem had more to do with it beign a remake than with Intelligent Systems status, but you made a good point, if we're only talking about Nintendo's own studios then they didn't release a single good game for 3DS in 2017. Mother 3 launched for GBA in 2006, that game alone puts to shame anything released this year for 3DS. And those are some huge-ass pockets you're talking about, what about if I want to play with an actual D-pad? Don't tell me you stuff a pro controller in the other pocket too, not to mention that with the joy-cons attached the damn thing is close in size with the Wii U gamepad, you know, the one that was often compared with a brick. 

Mother 3 is Japan only, typical game like this need to understand story, not just gameplay. Also, how about DS? All efforts of outsource projects and localized some JP games last year should not count. Sony is even worse not only vita but psp also although psp sold quite good. Mother 3 puts to shame anything released this year for 3DS? WOW, i didn't know Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey Redux, Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology, Etrian Odyssey and Persona Q 2 are just shovelware
