Ugh, let the 3DS die in a fire.

Pokemon Stars confirmed to be dumbed down

Its a transition period, 3DS still sells decently and has a large active install base and likely generates a good deal of profits for Nintendo so it makes sense to continue to give moderate support to the system unlike Wii U which sold like shit and lost money. Think of it like GBA & DS. Nintendo said DS was not a replacement for GBA and that was true for about 1-1.5 years when they both sold well and recieved solid support. Once DS got a price cut, a revision and some big hitters we saw it replace GBA. That is what is likely to happen for 3DS & Switch, 2017 and early 2018 will likely see both devices with mixed support but by mid-late 2018 3DS sales and support will likely have dried up in favor of Switch.

I can't agree with this part. GBA and DS really ran side by side, so that Nintendo could keep both options alive. The GBA even got better first party games during 2005. That's not going to be the case for 3DS vs. Switch at all, because Nintendo's new console will absolutely destroy the 3DS this year in terms of first party content. This transitional period is like DS to 3DS and other previous handheld generation transitions, except for GBA to DS. Nintendo's old handheld has always got additional first party games after the new one was already out.

People in this thread interpret too much into the statement that Nintendo will show content for the 3DS at E3. Firstly, about the only new announcement anyone realistically expects at this point is Pokémon Stars as a 3DS and (likely) Switch game. Secondly, Nintendo's unreleased games (Pikmin, Ever Oasis) obviously qualify as content. Thirdly, third parties are not done yet with the 3DS and their games qualify as content too. Reggie didn't say anything about Nintendo announcing new 3DS games.

i elaborated and said that 1st party 3DS games are small outsourced titles or late localizations while Switch 1st party titles are by the major studios. all i meant by that was 3DS & Switch will coexist for about a year or so before sales completely falter and support dries up.

I'm not sure when I will get the Switch but I'm still excited for what they have in store for it. My dream announcements are Kid Icarus Uprising 2 and Luigi's Mansion 3. Also, I think the 3DS games will mostly be minor titles, like that Mario Sports title that released recently.

It's good to hear, though at this point, they have to have an excellent showing. The future of the Switch depends on it. Hopefully they focus more on Switch than 3DS.

I don't doubt it. It'd be scary if there wasn't a big E3 for Nintendo this year

Spade, Who are you ?

Whatever they decide to do, it's likely to make those that care excited, and those that don't point and laugh.



Nogamez on 27 March 2017

They better have new announcements off some big Switch games. Also where is Pikmin 4, that's games been well hidden for awhile to say it was nearly finished last year

Metroid please Reggie

I wouldn't get overly hyped, but they should be set for a good show if they decide to reveal their hand for the remainder of 2017/first half 2018.

Listing the titles from Nintendo and major publishers (i.e. not indies) that I expect Nintendo to show in their broadcast, we can expect for the remainder of 2017:
- Zelda dlc (Switch/Wii U)
- Fire Emblem Warriors (Switch/New 3DS)
- Splatoon 2 (Switch- if it hasn't already launched)
- Super Mario Odyssey (Switch)
- Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Switch)
- Pikmin for 3DS
- Ever Oasis (3DS)
- Dragon Quest XII (Switch)
- Dragon Quest Heroes 1&2 (Switch)
- Skyrim (Switch)
- FIFA 18 (Switch)
- NBA 2K18 (Switch)
- Rayman Legends Definitive Edition (Switch)
- Sonic Forces (Switch)
- Sonic Mania (Switch)

Then, unconfirmed for 2017, we might see reveals such as:
- Pokemon Stars (Switch/3DS- I'd prefer Switch exclusive)
- Super Smash Bros for Switch
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC
- UbiSoft/Nintendo RPG

And, of course, we'll see the usual 'Nindie' sizzle reel, and a spotlight on some major indie titles and indie exclusives. Based on what we're hearing about the ease of porting to Switch, and the way in which indie support has increased considerably in the last 2 months since reveal, there could be quite a few new announcements. We might also finally hear about Virtual Console, if they don't spill the beans before June.

In addition, for 2018 and beyond, I'll expect we'll see more of:
- Fire Emblem (Switch)
- Project Octopath Traveler
- No More Heroes (Switch)
- Shin Megami Tensei (Switch)

I expect we'll see a few reveals from Nintendo, too, though I'm not sure what they'll reveal for 2018. Personally, though, I think Animal Crossing will be one of their big E3 reveals and will be dated for summer 2018 worldwide.
