The fact that 240p gaming can still excel in 2017/18 makes me smile.

240p is fine for some types of games. Some!

New 3DS was a missed opporrunity. Should have made the jump to glorious 480p. Atpeast get those specs at par with Vita.

Switch games ported to 3ds! BotW 3D edition

 

Super Mario 3DDesy

I was thinking more like 3ds games ported to the switch. 3ds already got ports from WiiU. 

Luigi mansion 3 with free download of dark moon :)

Nope I didn't I was tempted but never did



I still think they are crazy if they don't make a sucessor, even if it's the switch mini-portable.

The portable market has always been an anchor for Nintendo. The home market is a hit and miss. The switch is this mixed hybrid that atempts to merge them both, but if the next system doesn't do the same and is a miss, it will be more dramatic than the Wii U.

In short, Nintendo is betting all their eggs in one basket, while before they had 2. It's extremely risky, and they need to reduce that risk imo.



Nothing changed from the last month, the system will be replaced in due time.

Turn the 3DS into a 'prove yourself' console for small developers trying to convince Nintendo to publish larger projects.
