Kill the 3DS now?

>>382230165
OCD, basically. Some people REALLY want Nintendo to put all of their games on one system, even if it doesn't make any fucking sense. There are plenty of games that are better suited for the 3DS, and obviously Nintendo makes a lot of money off of handhelds so it's stupid to drop them. The Switch is still ultimately a home console despite its gimmick.

Pretendos are desperately trying to find something new to complain about.

>>382230165
Just salty fags who don't own one of the various 3ds systems. Would some games benefit from a port or even remake onto a home console? Sure but why would Nintendo not want to keep pushing a system that is printing money for them.

But this is why alot of journalists are narrow minded idiots, they think only of themselves and not the company or hell even the community as a whole.

Also, why are you on Kotaku?

they should keep it alive for a couple of more years in console production due to the huge library going back to the fucking nds itself but for the love of god dont release anymore big titles and instead release them on the switch

The 3DS is six years old anon and starting to look dated. Instead of developing a true successor (for now anyway) Nintendo just decided to put all their eggs in one basket. We'll see how that works out for them in the next year or so.

>>382231192
>are just mad that games are being held back by 3DS

But they're not being held back by the 3DS. All the main projects are on the Switch. Metroid Prime 4, FE Switch, Pokemon Gen 8, they're all announced and being developed for the Switch.

The 3DS is only getting small titles with shoe string budgets and quick development spans. That's how they're going to support it till they cut support.

I think that's Polygon? Same shit, different label though

People keep thinking the Switch is supposed to be the 3DS' successor/replacement. Even if it was, Nintendo has always allowed the preceding platform a year or so to slow down while the new one gets up to speed. Morons think that Nintendo should have stopped all development and support for the 3DS the second the Switch released.

As long as people are willing to buy 3DS games people will be making 3DS games. And that's including Nintendo. Nintendo main focus is going to be Switch but they will most likely will fund smaller projects for 3DS until they feel enough Switches are around to slowly move purely over to Switch.

It's true. I don't want to buy an old ass handheld with a 240p screen when the last Metroid game was almost ten years ago and it was shit. I don't have a Switch either, but I'd rather have this shit on a 720p/1080p screen eventually.

>keeping a half a decade old handheld on the market when you're trying to convince consumers your console is a capable handheld on it's on.

I think Nintendo should have definitively said from the start this was replacing both of their devices and confirming mainline Pokemon would continue on the Switch to entice that side of the market more. Trying to eek out the existence of the 3DS is cannibalizing the potential of the Swtich, but Nintendo is too chickenshit to ever make a bold move about anything.

It's retarded. Switch should have as many games as possible meanwhile they're releasing new IPs (Ever Oasis) and fan demanded remakes (Metroid 2) on the old-ass 3DS instead, hamstringing them in the process.

I don't get why they wouldn't put Ever Oasis on hold and make it a game for Switch instead. It honestly makes think Ever Oasis is probably Shovelware shit since Nintendo relegated it to die on the 3DS.

They shouldn't sell new versions of the 3DS if they intend to kill it. If nothing more they should continue to provide a basic service to 3DS users (for me, the Pokebank comes to mind) for many more years to come, like how they provided a repair service for the NES for all these years until only recently.

Would it be overall good for their business to suddenly end all support for other systems outside of Switch? Probably not, if only because it'll create a loss of customer confidence. "Why should I spend all this money on a 3DS/game system when it's going to be dropped in five years like a petty fad? This isn't pants...it's games."

Sure some of you will try and argue that Playstation has been doing this since day one, but look also at one of the major complaints. "Backwards comparability!" When that leaves, people rightfully lose their shit. If they made it so PS3 systems could no longer log on to the PS servers, there'd be a freaking major backlash.

Ultimately, all I'm asking for is for companies like Nintendo to keep providing online support to the 3DS for many more years to come. Give me a good 15 years towards a game system and I'll be happy.

3DS is cheaper to develop for, many of the titles for it would likely never have been made if only the Switch was available, and due to being dependent on the dual screens for a some of them, can't work on the Switch. Too many people think "if they didn't make this for 3DS, it could have been on Switch," which more often than not simply isn't true and more likely means the game would not have been made at all. Why not just buy a Switch in 2018, when it has more games and is easier to find, rather than now when the selection is limited and it's scarcer than a three peckered toad?

People think that the 3DS is "stealing" games or dev time from the Switch. The reality is devs/companies decide to port or develop for the most profitable one and that is clearly the affordable, easy to develop for, widely available, popular 3DS rather than the hard to find, expensive (at least for families, which are a large part of Ninty's audience), new Switch that they have little experience working with and is still in it's beginning stages. In all likelyhood if the 3DS was instakilled now (as a hypothetical) they simply wouldn't do anything with the Switch until they got more experience with it and it proved itself to be a profitable investment past the early stages it is in now.

HOL THE FUCK UP BROS


IS that pic real? Did the ds design come from THAT?

>>382230165
The 3DS is small, has 240p screens and every game that is important for Nintendo already explored its potential to the fullest (Pokémon, Zelda,...).
Meanwhile, we have the Switch which is portable, has a great screen, while expensive it will probably have a cheaper 2DS version (without being called that ofc) in the future and we could get main Pokémon games to play on a big screen while still being portable and with great graphics and new potential to uncover.
Yeah, sure. It's a stupid marketing strategy for Nintendo, but people use it as an excuse to get all games in one console instead of separating them and having to play them on an underpowered handheld.

How stupid can people get?
Even if you kill the 3DS, there's no guarantee a game would get ported for games like DQ, the only reason they even bothered considering to localize it was that fans showed interest and the potential install base was huge to back up that interest. If the potential buyers are limited to something like the Switch that doesn't factor in for companies that localize based on that.

>>382240097
might be a handheld but it doesn't fit in pockets so it isn't as portable.

>>382233412
I don't want a new console, i just want them to move the 3ds games to the switch so i can have 1 console for all the nintendo games. I would still bet nintendos plan is on releasing a "portable" version of the switch at a lower cost and not making a replacement for the 3ds.

>nintendo can give fans an amazing gift by forcing them to buy a one screen console with paid online to play their games.

It's retarded nonsense because Nintendo will simply come out with another dedicated handheld when that happens. Producing games for cheap hardware is incredibly cheap compared to home console games and sells better in Nintendo's case. There's not a chance they'll limit themselves to nothing but Switch.

>>382234846
more like a $350 pc

>>382244316
That would be extremely retarded of them, they would have to put a shit ton of money into R&D and production to release a console that would compete with the ones they already have out. Not to mention if they do release another portable they would have to make it at least 720p which is what the switch is already running at, it wouldn't be much of an upgrade if it stayed at 240p.

>tfw the only thing I still do with my 3DS is update to the latest Luma and then turn it back off
Samus Returns will bring me back but I'm expecting it to be not as good as AM2R

3ds will die once the new Pokemon game is released on switch

>>382244316
They can easily introduce a lower budget tier of Switch games that they sell for 30 or 40 bucks. In fact that's what is already happening with stuff like PPT.

>>382243018
>Talk about the console's potential already being explored
>Indirectly talk about how you can't do what you can on Switch with the 3ds without framedrops
>Talk about the screen being small
Yet you pretend all I complained was about the 240p screens.

>>382230165
why does everyone think they can tell nintendo what to support lmao fuck you

>>382230628
>Some people REALLY want Nintendo to put all of their games on one system
and those people are doubly retarded for not supporting the wii u because THAT WAS EXACTLY WHAT IT FUCKING WAS.

It had like 95% of all their best games between NES and N64, was compatible with Wii, and GC through homebrew. The Wii U even had ports of GBC, GBA and DS (they likely would've added more DS ports to wii u if the thing hadn't flopped so hard due to bad marketing)

i don't get this fixation with portability, don't most people's phones already play a fuckload of games and emulators flawlessly? don't most play games 'on the go' as a mild distraction, not a fully immersed console experience?

>Nintendo will never just fuck off with the 3ds

Saying that the switch is a portable game system is fucking ridiculous. I don't have anything against the switch, I own one, but you can't start to tell me that it's truly portable.

The fucking thing scratches every time you want to charge it for fucks sake, and you'll need to charge it every 5 hours if you want to play a game.

Nintendo is shooting themselves in the foot if they think they can cut out their actual handheld machines and replacing them with a home console that wants to be both. I'm not saying that the 3DS is great, in fact I've disliked the dual screen idea from the very start, but for so many handheld gaming is the only type of gaming they can reasonably do.

Nintendo will realize this and put out another actual handheld sooner or later. The tech for making a home console and a portable system into the same machine just isn't developed enough for it to work.

>>382238457
because piracy hurting sales is only true for indie and early access scams

>>382241356
>Why not just buy a Switch in 2018, when it has more games and is easier to find, rather than now when the selection is limited and it's scarcer than a three peckered toad?
it's like people lack self control when it comes to money and companies are rightfully exploiting it as hard they can!

>>382230628

>The Switch is still ultimately a home console despite its gimmick.

As a Switch owner, so far my experience has been the exact opposite. It's become my dedicated portable gaming machine that I can occasionally plug into the TV for local multiplayer fun.

As a home console? It's mediocre as fuck. As a portable? Fucking GOAT.

>>382242018
>People think that the 3DS is "stealing" games or dev time from the Switch.
if 3ds dies all the devs that rely on nintendo drones to sell will be forced to develop for switch

>>382232234
The gameboy got another iteration and year or two of support after the DS came out. Same with the DS. People have such short term memory. This time next year, the 3DS will be dead. USUMO will be it's swan song.

Imagine being an english major who really wanted to become a journalist, but your career never got off the ground, so now you're a games journalist and you never have to pay a cent for any of the games you play and you also hang out with people like you who are all far removed from the people who actually play games and they get paid by the word to write clickbaity fluff articles so they write purposefully anger inducing shit that makes them sound insane but really, they just don't give a fuck, they don't even really like games anyway.

aaaand thread hidden

But low-res games on the 3DS have lower dev time

If the 3DS died with the release of the Switch Samus Returns would not be happening.

>>382249883
The 3ds will be replaced and i'd bet pretty soon since it's at 6 years old now. what makes more sense to just move it's games onto your home console that can also be portable or make an entirely new portable that you'll have to upgrade to at least 720p anyway and keep splitting your studios and games between 2 consoles?

>>382249601
Sounds like a sad existence, but a sad existence that comes with a paycheck.

callin for it

in a couple of years when technology has advanced enough to cram a tegra into an even smaller device without heat problems there will be a switch mini that is only portable and that will replace DS line just like DS replaced gameboy line

This is why none of you run a business or know anything about video games.
