- 7 years a ridiculously long life for any system. Why demand continued support?
|
It's already approaching the longest lifespan of any console ever, and there are fanboys who want Nintendo to continue milking this ancient system? Even if you bought this thing for $250 at launch, isn't 7 years enough time to get your money's worth out of it?

The Famicom in Japan was supported for 20 years
The Playstation 2 was supported for 16 years The Nintendo DS Was supported for 11 years (and IIRC is still supported for repairs) The Wii was supported for 10 years The Gameboy was supported for 14 years. The 3DS is not even half as old as how lost most of these systems were supported.

The Famicom in Japan was supported for 20 years Just because a previous gen system continues to be sold in stores, supported for repairs, or got some miscellaneous shovelware & last gen ports released on it, doesn't mean you should include those years. The Wii's support effectively ended when Wii U was released. When Nintendo has officially released a successor & has diverted all of their first party attention to it, that's when I end date it. The 3DS fanboys are asking Nintendo to continue expending development resources on making high-budget first party titles for a 7 year old system, instead of moving onto the Switch which is already in a drought after 6 months. There's a big difference here.

What would the next handheld bring that the 3DS can't handle? Your popularity?

Might as well continue to support it if there isnt another handheld to replace it. If Nintendo seriously expects everyone to migrate to he switch they got another thing comming... And its not more money.

Being a douche isn't helping matters. The system isn't 7 yet. Besides the PS2 and more recently the PS3 got games after a successor. I suggest not caring that some aren't interested in moving on to the Switch instead of trying to piss them off by being a Switch fanboy and/or 3DS hater.

Persona 3 was released in the same year as the PS3's release date.
Persona 3 FES was released a year after the PS3 was out in the market. Persona 4 was released 2 years after the PS3 has been out in the market.

They just released an updated version of the 2DS, and the Switch is more designed to be a home console.

What would the next handheld bring that the 3DS can't handle? Your popularity? The Switch is the successor. GameFreak has already confirmed the next mainline Pokemon is coming to Switch. There isn't going to be another 3DS successor. The Switch is that successor, and it's also a home console. I don't understand why you people are so resistant. The Switch is literally light years ahead of the 3DS in terms of everything. It's already getting the sort of 3rd party support 3DS never got. It's also going to get the 3DS "handheld" games, and it's going to get Nintendo's home console games. In addition, it will also get many third party major games... The ability to play Xbox One level games, or near it anyway, in the Switch's form factor more than justifies the price. |

Do you have any evidence / sources to support your claim that Nintendo Switch = 3DS successor and that the Switch is going to get the 3DS "handheld games"? I have not seen any announcement from Nintendo claiming this, nor any reputable sources. Personally I don't see any reason to get on the Switch bandwagon [yet], 3ds has a great library and I don't see how the Switch is setting up itself up to be successor with the lack of software support atm. |

That's going to come, and when it does, Switch is going to all a whole s***load more consoles. The idea that the Switch isn't eventually going to outright replace the 3DS, or that development isn't going to be further and further diverted to Switch as the adoption rate grows is nuts. 3DS is nearing, for all intents and purposes, what most people would consider to be the end of its cycle. It's got a few more big releases coming, so it's not there yet, but it's almost there.

That's good enough for me, my only concern is what's going to happen to all those developers who have been making games solely for the 3DS, a.k.a developers who make games to be played on a small, portable device only? Does Switch force these developers to make "console games", or is Switch going to be something like a "3DS with a bigger screen" for portable games"? Might be a dumb question but I'm not sure about how the merging of "portable" and "console" is going to work without losing the things that made the 3DS unique / great.

what developers?
we're already seeing the migration w/ ports of games like Azure Gunvolt, Re: Rev 1/2, steamworld dig 2, cave story, etc. seems to me they're adopting fine.

A better question would be, why people want a system to die so bad?
A console/handheld out of the picture doesn't necessarily mean more games for the current ones, if that's the reason. |

3DS is superior to Switch - Not all of them but it is a neat feature when you DON'T have profiles. the Switch method is better. We will finally see more than one save file in pokemon for example. - Great - Which is a product of a 7 year life cycle - Which is the product of a 7 year life cycle. If the switch continues at the pace it is going, it will have just as great of a library in due time.

the Switch method is better. It really isn't. If you lose your Switch all your data is gone, which is far from the case on 3DS as even if you mostly digital, you can back up certain games onto the SD Card and then make a backup of the SD Card into your computer and re download the games for free and restore the data if your 3DS gets lost. It's even less of an issue if you go mostly physical.

@kaliskonig posted...the Switch method is better. you act like the 3ds data isn't tied to the console...which it is. I'm pretty certain the same applies to the Switch, outside of saved games. But the same s*** can happen to your 3DS saved games too. so if you do lose your 3ds you are still SOL. Streetpass data is gone...ain't no recovering that. I know, cause one of my New 3Dses was stolen.

How I see myself able to carry my 3DS:
- In my pocket - In a Case - In a bag How I see myself carry a Switch - In a case in a bag. Why? I held a Switch and it feels lighter/more vurnable as a New 3DS XL or even a N2DS XL. The screen is unprotected and isn't scratch free and can't be covered at any time. The hub is great, but doesn't close well so the switch still takes dust on the screen. This is the major difference between the switch and 3DS for me, I am afraid if I take the switch on the road it will break. That's why I don't even consider the Switch being a handheld, but a console that you can take to take a dump (promotion for a vita using cross-play with the PS3/PS4)
I am the first one who claims that the next 2D Metroid game will be "Metroid Dread".

But of course, making s*** up and blatantly ignoring the PS2-3 life cycles is a bad way to sell being a Switch early adopter.

Final Fantasy XI got several expansions for PS2 after the release of the PS3, the last one being in the first half of 2013. Guilty Gear also got a few revisions, with Slash, Accent Core, and Accent Core Plus coming out after the PS3. Lots of games continued to come out in Japan for it. DOkapon Kingdom was also out around 2010, and I wouldn't call that shovelware.

Demand? Huh, given the current releases, its clear Nintendo wont give that much support to the 3ds and third party will do whatever they feel like.

3DS units are still pretty dang expensive, even if the games are cheap. They manage to avoid system price cuts by revising hardware, pushing XL way harder, etc. I'm kind of amazed they get away with charging what they do for games that still look worse than PS2. |
