Well, in that case, 3DS have two Tom Clancy games and an exclusive Lego City, prequel to Wii U ver but yeah, Western support for both platforms since 2014 are mostly small games and indies.

A port of a 6 year old game (that also ran significantly worse than Declassified) and a SRPG that was actually good, but uninteresting vs the burgeoning mobile market they were trying to stave off. Tom Clancy also didn't even approach the market share of CoD and AC at the time.  

AC liberation alone is better than almost any equivalent 3DS title. Lego is the closest, but has reduced impact since it's a pseudo port. Batman Arkham Origins is another standout.

Still, the support was ridiculously light and didn't even best its competitor that showed greater weakness almost immediately. Batman had to abandon the gameplay that made it popular to make its way to the system (even if it was a solid game).  Many of the games seemed to be "failures" too. 

The 1st year of 3DS was terrible in terms of overall quality (most of them were already mediocre Wii ports, but ran poorly on the 3DS's hardware), but what little was there evaporated quickly when it was apparent software sales were completely dead on the Wii. Ports just became completely unrealistic. 

Lego City on 3DS is still exclusive though. Batman was on both systems, right? Vita 1st year was not much better and the sales as well as many Western big 3rd party support almost drop completely outside some ports and horrible spin-off.
