>T-There's no way the Switch will replace the 3DS.

It won't though you fucking faggot. I hate Switchfags assuming Nintendo is going to drop out of the handheld market and focus on their one single console. That's the dumbest business decision they can make and they'll lose half their profits that way.

A new handheld, an actual 3DS successor, will be shown off next year. It had a 7 year life span just like the DS. The Switch is a shitty underpowered home console, not a portable.

I'm looking forward to the third version of Yo-kai Watch 2, Yo-kai Watch 3, Yo-kai Watch Blasters, and Yo-kai Sangokushi.

>inb4 "implying we'll get those games"

They've been confirmed in one of the mobile games.

How is the size of the 2DS XL? I have a 3DS XL I only bought for SMT IV but now that there's a couple other games I want to play on it I want something smaller; is the 2DSXL still a lot bigger than the original 3DS?

i like to lay face down in bed and play 3ds, or have it resting on my chest, stomach or lap while laying or sitting, meaning 90% of the time the actual bottom of the console is covered.

Nintendo are retards. Nintendo games are among the worst available games for the 3ds too.

Nintendo should really make something with a little more power if it wants to have something good. Also HD would be great but sony will not make any more handhelds and with the switch they pretty much have a monopoly on the handheld market so I don't see them making any improvements. Unless microsoft decides to make something but that will never happen.

The 3DS has a number of unlocalised and yet to be released games from numerous major publishers. You don't think it could last for 2 more years?

Didn't Sony do this with the PS3 when it was it's last couple of years? Just release a bunch of different versions or some shit like that.

>>376089676
>f unlocalised and yet to be released games from numerous major publishers
Those games will never come out. Just like the Yugioh or Digimon 3DS games

THE DS WAS IN PRODUCTION FOR TEN (10 [DIEZ {X}]) YEARS
A HUGE POKEMON GAME CAME TO THE SYSTEM IN ITS EIGHTH YEAR OF PRODUCTION, AFTER THE 3DS WAS ALREADY RELEASED
THE 3DS IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE ANY TIME SOON
SONYPONIES JUST WANT TO TRICK YOU BECAUSE THE VITA FLOPPED LIKE A DYING FISH IN A DESERT

third.
pillar.
The 3DS will remain on the market for at the MINIMUM two years more, at that point, it will be determined whether or not the DS line is worth continuing in the face of the switch's success, if it continues. I have a feeling it won't, and we'll see both continue to co-exist, but they did this exactly with the GBA, mainline system, GBA, then the DS introduced as a "third pillar" that's absolutely totally not going to replace anything nosirnohow.

This is a slightly different circumstance, but to deny the amount of ideological overlap in the two systems is foolish.

>>376090043
>the amount of ideological overlap in the two systems
>one is a handheld you play with in your hands by yourself or while connected to other people's 3DSes in multiplayer
>the other is a console that is portable and can be put on a stand and played split-screen or whatever in multiplayer, and trying to hold the screen with Joycons attached in your hands is fucking terrible, therefore it is most definitely not a handheld
Truly causes one to ponder

The Switch is almost surely going to replace the 3DS. Nintendo always wants to risk a new product without commenting on whether it will replace a previous hardware. It's the exact same strategy as the DS to the GBA. When the DS flew out of shelves, The Game Boy line was killed forever.

>>376090480
the point is it can play games from other systems. it's an nes, snes, genesis, ps1, gba, neo-geo mvs, and mame system you can carry in your (albeit large) pocket
and the psp had some great racing games, rpgs and fighting games which are incredibly easy to pirate

Do you think they'll ever port DKCR Tropical Freeze to the 3DS? Returns is a really good portable companion and TP didn't seem to be that much more processor heavy even though it released for the Wii U.

>>376090334
The switch is a smart phone

>>376090043
Except the Switch has been marketed as a replacement to the Wii U since the beginning. There's only 2 pillars, the Switch and the 3DS.

The Switch mini will probably replace the 3DS in a few years. Switch is too pricey to market to kids.

The entire point of the switch is so nintendo can focus on 1 platform

>>376087886
handhelds are shit. The gimmick is old and dying. Only fat losers with small hands think they're acceptable gaming platforms.

>>376090949

Yea nah. The Switch can just be sold without the dock at a reduced price. Maybe Naked Switch at $250.

>>376087886
I hate every mother fucker that thinks the 3ds continuing to live is a good thing. If nintendo switched all focus to the switch it wouldn't be a laughing stock of NO GAMES.

>>376091187

The 3DS already barely gets any games. It's obvious that they're just running the clock on the system at this point.

>>376091187
Instead all the low budget handheld games emigrating from 3DS will be criticized by buyers and reviewers alike for not having the same polish and budget as their AAA peers.

What if they performed a more gradual evolution with their handhelds? They discontinue the original 3DS systems after the end of the year and make all future 3DS games new-exclusive.

>Nintendo games are among the worst available games for the 3ds too.
I'd say Nintendo has the benefit of publishing a wide array of titles, but I can agree with the spirit of the sentiment. I think the people who just imagine Nintendo's biggest franchises, barring Pokémon, being the only games their system needs to justify the purchase to the masses are a little kooky.

The DS was very much a clamshell GBA with two screens. The PSP released at the time to be the traditional one-screen but "feature-rich/TECHNOLOGY" handheld.

>>376091187
That's a selfish viewpoint. The 3DS has great value and there's many of them in the wild. The system is budget focused and arguably more portable. It's only consumer friendly if it gets more good titles and that's always a good thing.

This is what I've been saying. The 3DS and Switch do overlap in markets, but there is still market segmentation. There are those that still want pocketable hardware instead of the big bulky switch that you would need large pockets or use a bag.

>Oh bbbut you can take apart the joy cons and fit it all in several pockets! And the 5 people I know are okay with it!

And that is really inconvenient if you have to have/use up multiple pockets for one device.
Nintendo isn't going to put all their eggs in one basket. It's like saying "Why doesn't Apple just discontinue the MacBook because they have the iPad now? They're both portable devices!"

Nintendo wants to fill in all these different demographics that want different things out of their portable consoles.

Having a flap for the cartridge slot and micro SD card is really good, but it's mostly up to how much you care about the 3D and if you care about the outside of the XL being a fingerprint magnet with its glossy shell.

>one of the admittedly major handheld series no longer being on 3DS and some bullshit fun series with like 3 entries previously mean the 3DS in any form will stop being relevant

Okay dude whatever you say

Nintendo is just hedging their bets, same as they by releasing the gb micro around the same time as the DS launch. (Their best system ever btw.) If the Switch fails then they'll just keep releasing 3DS games. If not, then they'll drop it.

>>376095601
They will just release a smaller Switch, there is no way Nintendo will release another handheld to compete with it.

>>376095601
It's more like MacBook Pro vs MacBook Air while allowing plebs who aren't fully immersed in their ecosystem the grace of iTunes on Windows (and fuck Linux kek) just as Nintendo is just releasing mobile shit with their IP tacked on.

>>376096243

Nintendo fans, man.

>>376095897
IMO the 3DS and Switch are different enough to have differences in the preferences of their target demographics. Therefore they aren't always in direct competition with each other, they both have differing feature that can attract different consumers.

Switch: Bigger screen, TV/Handheld mode, screenshot button, hd rumble.

3DS: Dual screen, smaller = more pocketable, has cameras, 3D (except the 2DS),

>>376096243
As long as the games are good, what's the problem? That's immense value off one purchase.

>>376096243
As long as they don't try to push it to the limit like Sun and Moon where the framerate suffered then I don't see why can't keep making games for it. Anon you need to keep in mind of little billy, he probably doesn't care about a Switch with muh graphics. Bet his daddy is tired of him using his phone to play games.

>>376096435

The thing is 3ds filled a niche for quick low budget games that focused on gameplay. The Switch's first party games are going to focus on the Cinematic/High Graphics meme. In terms of development cost and time Switch has all of the downsides of the 3ds and none of the upsides.

It's not a matter of dated, it's a matter of 240p being eye cancer, which 720p is not.

When you hit 720p especially at 6 inches you're hitting the point of diminishing returns, at 720p resolution no longer handicaps details unless you're looking for maximum photo realism.

720p games can look good, 240p games are eye cancer that look like shit 100% of the time.

>>376099354
It will still be orders of magnitude higher in cost. People are going to expect full voice acting and decent graphics. The next fire emblem will probably cost more than the last 5 FE games combined, same with pokemon.

Many 3DS game models are actually higher res than the whole screen, because it's actually a pain in the dick to make such low resolution models.

They're talking about the $50 DLC that's the actual mainline game.

>>376099608
Why do you type like a redditor?

>>376099581
This, I expect E3 will reveal 2017 and 2018 to be the 3DS's last big years. The Switch may become worth buying in 2019 when they release a mini version of it.

>>376099676
Reddit spacing isn't a thing, stop forcing that faggy meme because people are too lazy to type in proper paragraphs.

>>376096851
>Even smaller joy cons
Haha, no.

>>376096550
So true, my fucking phone has more power than the 3DS.

Switch Mini is hard because they won't be able to just use a die shrunken X1.

They'll need to use a newer less hot Tegra chip, that's gonna actually cost them money.

>Nintendo is going to drop out of the handheld market

Switch is their handheld market you retard.

>>376099908
The iPhone 4s is more powerful than the 3DS.

>>376099608

I wish people who keep saying this would actually go back and play some ps2 games and realize how primitive they are graphically now. The Wii U may have been a weak machine but it was still a full generation ahead of the ps2, even if the system got used rarely for anything other than stock 2.5D graphics. A PS2 could not run BoTW.

>>376099971
That guy is just retarded, don't pay any attention to him. He obviously has never seen a ps2 game.

>>376099461
>same with Pokémon
kek'd

>>376099971
Here's the thing, 3rd parties like Atlus are not gonna put Botw tier effort into their graphics.

Sure Nintendo might, but the 3rd party exclusives it will get will be low to medium budget weebshit.

>>376100045
I've been saying this and people keep calling me retarded and saying how I want the switch to fail.

>>376099815
>thinking the Switch Mini will have that Joy Con shit when Nintendo already confirmed that some games will work only in specific modes like TV only, Handheld only, and Tabletop only

>>376099128
>facial details

what the fuck are you trying to do, play games or watch movies? The screen is complete shit and that's a fact, but crying because of facial details breaks the boundaries of being a crybaby. I hope the light of the screen isn't too bright either to not hurt your sensitive little eyes.

I want a switch mini with attached controls.

>>376100045
Same thing happened with the Gamecube and Wii. 3rd parties will rather just do a half assed job or no job at all.

If people think the 3DS line will be dropped, they're stupid.

Sun and Moon doesn't support 3D, alongside a bunch of other newer releases, and they JUST happen to release a new 2DS with a clamshell interface.

Its gonna be around for a while.

>>376100045
>>376100087

That's already been the situation for Nintendo since 2006 onward with the Wii. The Switch is a system that exists in a flux state, its both a console and a handheld. So if 3rd party Japanese companies want to put their experimental budget games with basic graphics on the switch then that's all well and good and Nintendo and a few other high end Jap companies can simultaneously make big console experiences as well. It'll be interesting to see if this experiment works.

>>376100230
>Its gonna be around for a while.
Till 2018 imo, people act like the west is all that matters, Japan is still getting lots of good games. I can't wait for Alliance Alive.

It's been done before and it doesn't work well for cheap looking game. Who is going to pick up generic anime game X when you can get BoTW? This is why smaller devs loved the 3ds and vita. All the games look like budget games and only gameplay separates them.

>>376100430
>Who is going to pick up generic anime game X when you can get BoTW?

The people that live in Japan.

looks neat but why the fuck is the top screen glossy

>>376100430

>Who is going to pick up generic anime game X when you can get BoTW?

People who want to play games in addition to BOTW. Also the budget games can compliment the portable mode while the high ends focus on the console experience. Like I said, its an experiment and I'm curious to see how it turns out.

The 3DS is a timeless system with a robust library. Switch isn't even a real handheld.

>>376100306
>and Nintendo and a few other high end Jap companies can simultaneously make big console experiences as well.
well no they can't because to make a big console experience you need hardware a little bit stronger than a piddly little phone gpu

>>376100606
>timeless
3ds was behind the times the day it released, half it's library was outdated day 1. I love the 3ds but timeless is the wrong word.

>>376100593
>People who want to play games in addition to BOTW

That's going to be Splatton, Smash and SE/Atlus games. Small devs are going to get crushed.

>>376100634

I don't have knowledge of the specs off the top of my head but BoTW being on both Switch and WiiU indicates that the Switch is at least as powerful as a Wii U which is plenty strong enough to offer console experiences.

Can't be fuck to read thread as I'm phone playing.

Wii mini came out a few months after Wii U.
The Wii mini did not and was not intended to lengthen the original Wii lifespan.

>>376100732

If the Switch is the only portable console in town in the future, then the audience for those budget games will inevitably move to the Switch just as they occupied the 3DS.

>>376100230
>doesn't support 3D
Because most players don't care about the gimmick and the 3DS was incapable of rendering 3D for models this complex?

It only shows just how quickly the 3DS is aging. It can't even support its own gimmick.

>>376087886
>new 3ds comes out 2 years ago
>2-3 games are exclusive new 3ds
>2ds comes out for 150
why not 100? why is the new 3ds not 150 now instead?

>>376100953

Because that's what they think the market will tolerate.

>>376100821
No, the gap in quality will just mean people won't buy budget games and the devs die off. The point of developing on the 3ds is fans can't even tell which 3ds games have high budgets and which ones have low budgets. Not sure why this is soo hard for people to understand when it was the reason the 3ds library became strong.

>>376101012
I know, and it's fucked because they're not wrong.

>>376090405
I do that. Lots of games I missed out on that I could just pirate if I felt motivated to do so. I'm doing it right now with the Wii U. I wanted a GameCube out of the machine, and I got one.

literally haven't touched my 3ds since i got the switch. it's a massively superior portable, 3ds gives me eye cancer.

>>376101293

... how is that fucked?

>>376094874
I'd have gotten the N2DS XL if I hadn't already gotten the Fire Emblem N3DS XL.

Why is there infighting among Nintendofags? I didn't know people were that divided.

How would you compare each iteration of the GameBoy to each iteration to the DS?

>inb4 you first

>>376101980
idk man

i miss the gamboy days

>>376087886
Do we know if the White/Orange one is coming overseas , I realllllly want that one.

>>376088906
I think I got too excited when this thing was announced. It actually looks like a toy. Fuck that. If they release the DQ limited edition one I'd get that though.

>>376089238
the issue with giving the switch more power is they would have to have a bigger battery because it would drain faster. For a handheld system, it's a great balance of power and energy usage

>>376101980
source?

>>376101964
Can you identify the ones who bought a Wii U?

>>376101051

Well yeah, I understand it is a risk on their part. I called it an experiment earlier and we'll see how it plays out. I actually hope Nintendo doesn't kill their portable line because the Switch doesn't deliver on what I want out of a handheld at all.

>>376087886
So any word on the battery life on this sucka?
Anything below 7 hours is a no go
