Did everyone really think Nintendo was just gonna shut the door on the 3DS' userbase the moment the Switch hit the market?

A lot did.

Even after Nintendo said they won't

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Brace yourself. 3DS will remain a focus for Nintendo until the end of the year at the earliest.

It's not even the focus now. What are you talking about? We've had a handful of 3DS game announcements since the Switch was revealed and launched (many of which were in development for a while and are releasing soon). There are only 2 far off titles for the 3DS, the FE Musou one and SMT, and the Switch is getting projects in both of those series as well

 

[Last_colossi]

Ctrl+f Gamecube...

Wario Ware Amiibo Mania?

But seriously if that VC news is true that's awesome.

 

[mickagau33]

Triple Box could be the name of the retail compilation of Box, Boxbox and Byebye + amiibo.

It could...they can definitely announce the us release of the last game and (let's dream) a retail release similar to the JP one. But this does not confirm the validity of the leak since it is already known the game is planned for the US.

no of course not cuz lol Nintendo

it would have been great if they did like they literally said

but hey there was money on the table so whatever

 

[Jonneh3003]

My uncle set me up with more leaks!

 

[LordKano]

I just realized there's a file called "SilverFox" in the picture as a throwback to the only real leak of a Nintendo Direct which had a file called "LittleBird" lmao.

 

[jmizzal]

Might not catch it live, but will watch when I get home

 

[uncle_koploski]

I literally have no desire to ever pick up my 3ds ever since I got my switch.

Please move development to the switch. I want all those new 3ds games on my switch, Nintendo!!!!!

 

[Sandfox]

no of course not cuz lol Nintendo

When did they say they were going to stop supporting the 3DS after the Switch released? I remember them saying the exact opposite.

before swirch released

they retconned their stance after

or did everyone forget

I'd actually prefer 3DS games stay 3DS games, thank you.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

It's not really a focus anymore for Nintendo from a development perspective.

From an internal development perspective, this is true and has been for awhile. But they likely still have a number of titles to announce for the system.

It's not even the focus now. What are you talking about? We've had a handful of 3DS game announcements since the Switch was revealed and launched (many of which were in development for a while and are releasing soon). There are only 2 far off titles for the 3DS, the FE Musou one and SMT, and the Switch is getting projects in both of those series as well

Not the focus. I never said that. But it's clearly still important for Nintendo and more games will almost certainly be announced.

 

[tenderbrew]

Man I do hope they mention a Smash Deluxe. Been too long and I never did everything in the Wii U one.

 

[HubbaBubba]

I literally have no desire to ever pick up my 3ds ever since I got my switch.

after getting a switch, I can't look at the images on a 3ds without felling bad for how bad they look.

 

[Waji]

I hope we get a new XB2 trailer.

Forget about it.

 

[DrROBschiz]

I mean, as long as it doesn't hold back the Ice Climbers from coming back or any other content for the Switch version, I don't see the problem.

im not too worried since they were basically two separate games outside of the ice climbers example

still im still puzzled by the desire to make a new 3DS exclusive cross gen version

hype rising, brought switch to work today

Yeah same. Only thing keeping me attached to my 3DS are the backlog for it (along with DS's.)

 

[Rodin]

Where do you even find this?

That's geno's infamous fake "leak" of the Switch presentation from a couple of months ago. The amount of work he poured into making that shit up still amazes me.

 

[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]

This is the first Nintendo direct i won't watch live , exam in 2 hours exactly..

 

[LegendofLex]

before swirch released

they retconned their stance after

or did everyone forget

They said exactly the opposite of this numerous times and even announced that support for 3DS would continue throughout 2017.

 

[Josh5890]

Yeah same. Only thing keeping me attached to my 3DS are the backlog for it (along with DS's.)

Its funny because I haven't touched my 3DS in almost two months and despite the fact that I have 20+ JRPGs between my 3DS and DS I still plan on picking up the next Fire Emblem game next month

Spoiler

I haven't even finished Fates yet either

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Yeah same. Only thing keeping me attached to my 3DS are the backlog for it (along with DS's.)

The only thing keeping me attached to my 3DS is the VC-library.
It would be amazing if Nintendo would let you transfer those to the Switch. I just don't want to pay again for the games I already bought...

 

[chronomac]

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't we usually get the length of these before they start? Anyone know how long already?

 

[DrROBschiz]

They said exactly the opposite of this numerous times.

yes i know

its been a persistent tune after they sold a bunch of 3ds over the last holiday

 

[Kyzer]

when was the last direct?

 

[UnemployedVillain]

yes i know

its been a persistent tune after they sold a bunch of 3ds over the last holiday

So what are you talking about then?

 

[Socreges]

2 hrs, 8 mins.

What about now?

 

[Professor Lexicovermis]

Honestly, I have a 3DS from launch day and I kinda wish Nintendo would just lay it to rest. Put out one last game and then focus on Switch. Ever Oasis should be that game. It had a good run, but it's time to let go.

 

[The Horror the horror]

What about now?

8 hrs, 2 mins

 

[Jonneh3003]

when was the last direct?

Fire Emblem was 2 months ago, last proper one was September.

 

[stilgar]

What about now?

2 hours.

 

[Skittzo0413]

yes i know

its been a persistent tune after they sold a bunch of 3ds over the last holiday

So when did they say they would stop supporting the 3DS?

 

[AlexFlame116]

XY+ORAS+SuMo Remastered for Switch

Please do this. Remake/Remaster HeartGold while you're on it Nintendo.

 

[Kyzer]

yes i know

its been a persistent tune after they sold a bunch of 3ds over the last holiday

the last time we heard from nintendo they were still coming out with 3ds games so theres literally no chance they said they were going to stop supporting it even if they intended to, which they didnt. you have a source?

 

[MrSaturn99]

Noooo way that's all real

Spoiler

Pls have new classic emulation quality tho kthx

 

[Okami Haundo]

So when did they say they would stop supporting the 3DS?

I'm wondering this as well.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

I look forward to complaints about them spending too much time on ARMS and Splatoon 2, when they said beforehand that they were mostly going to be showing ARMS and Splatoon 2.

 

[brinstar]

how did we go from Arms and Splatoon 2 to TWO smash bros games

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

how did we go from Arms and Splatoon 2 to TWO smash bros games

Because Nintendo Direct. From 0 to 60 in 7 seconds.

 

[jack_package_200]

how did we go from Arms and Splatoon 2 to TWO smash bros games

Beats the hell out of me.

Why the fuck would they make a Smash Bros game exclusive to New 3DS

Jesus people

 

[chronic_archaic]

That list if almost believable if it weren't for Smash For New 3DS - this would be fucking insane if they actually planned on doing a port of the Wii U version. I wouldn't mind but, there's just no way.

 

[Jonneh3003]

How cool would this be?

 

[Kyzer]

how did we go from Arms and Splatoon 2 to TWO smash bros games

mostly splarms but also HUGE OTHER THINGS maybe?

 

[thatJohann]

I'm guessing they're announcing the Switch Mario Kart bundle on this Direct too since it's live on some Russian site.
