Weird decision about the 3ds. JRPGs normally sell well on that platform even in the West

If the technical issues are really demanding, hard to deal with, then it would make a lot more sense releasing the 3ds version and leaving the Switch version aside for the West.

.......Not really.3DS sales are declining, but most importantly its software are starting to move very few units.While on the other hand, Switch is breaking sales recortds and developers are clamoring left and right that their games are selling really well on the Switch.

Betwenn 3DS and Switch, the Switch version is a no brainer.Beyond obvious really.But given that the 3DS version was already developed and the game would already be translated due to the dialogue not being different from the one in the PS4 version(as far as I know), this feels like and odd decision.
