downgraded ports and low budget spinoffs dont really take a whole lot of time either

 

But they still take time and resources. You can say not enough to hurt the NX, but only time will tell. This does mean what I said though, no unified library, which for me was the single most important thing.

how does it mean no unified library? None of the 2017 titles are developed by Nintendo or their subsidiaries, they are all outsourced projects.

NX is a home console.... maybe Nintendo is delaying a new portable or it will no make anymore portable consoles!!! many games to come on 3DS but nothing new or spoiled for NX in my opinion!



Switch!!!

The only way how, they're not putting all their resources into one system instead of two.

Grezzo is doing Ever Oasis and supposedly Arzest is doing that Pikmin game, both of whom may aswell be Nintendo even if not officially. Where does it say who's doing the ports and Mario Sports? Also, outsourced games are not completely separate from Nintendo, otherwise they'd just be pure third party games. The development is still payed for by Nintendo, so it can be said that instead of paying for 3DS games Nintendo could be paying for NX games.



The 3DS has sold over 60m and has a good active userbase. By not releasing titles before the NX on it, Nintendo would be throwing away the cash. And they can always port them to the NX aswell.

Besides these titles don't scream AAA high budget to me. As in we're not getting a super Smash Bros or Mario Kart 9 type game. I'm sure Nintendos teams that make those big titles are working on other big titles for the NX.

Thats not how that works, none of Nintendo's internal teams or subsidiaries are developing 3DS/Wii U games set to release after NX launches so their resources are all on NX.

Camelot, Grezzo & Arzest are currently the only ones making Nintendo published games set to release after NX launches

That is miniscule when you consider that all the EPD teams, Retro Studios, Monolith Soft, Intelligent Systems, HAL Labs, Next Level Games, ND Cube, Monster Games, Alpha Dream, Ambrella, Arika, Headstrong, Syn Sophia, Skip Ltd, Vanpool, Nintendo Software Technology, Genius Sonority, Jupiter, Creatures, etc. are all likely developing games for NX.

I have no idea, I honestly can't find any sort of logic to explain their actions this time. This goes against the unified library concept which I thought was the point of the NX.

errr wrong, Nintendo hasn't specifically stated anything about a unified library nor have they said specifically what the NX has. all that has happened is people have speculated.

and I think most likely what the situation will be is that the NX will be capable of being a home console AND a handheld- it will be essentially one device with multiple uses.

Nintendo will be transitioning to the NX and leaving the 3DS behind eventually, but look at it- its selling well lately (better than the Xone and far better than the Vita) in terms of hardware and also pushing plenty of software. They don't really have a business logic reason to abandon it yet

In the future I think its safe to say the NX will be their main priority but Nintendo has repeatedly stated they plan to keep working with the 3DS and that it is not getting replaced per say

this. the big guns and titles are obviously headed to the NX

Except it is, and you don't know what the rest of Nintendo is doing. I definitely doubt these will be the last 3DS games from them.



If the NX is more powerful than the NX, pysical backwards compatibility with the 3DS can still be a thing, specially if they use cartridges. Also, there's no doubt for me now that there will be a Mario Maker NX, if Ninendo was able to port it to the 3DS almost 100%, there's no way it won't be released on the NX.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.

I have not read any answers but the first thing I thought was, "Is this a serious question?"

When games were still being made for PlayStation 5 years after PlayStation 2 was released, were people asking these types of questions? 3DS is successful so Nintendo will continue to support it because there is money to be made there and if the concept of a hybrid does not work, they still have a hand held they can fall back on.

Now, I am not saying the rumors are true; I have never tried to make the claim that they are. However, to say this is what makes you question the rumors is almost laughable. Both PlayStation 3 and XBOX 360 still see support even though their newer siblings exist. Supporting an older console does not negate the new console, as seen in recent history.
