I hope Monster Hunter World isn't dumbed down and still a MH game

It's already confirmed to be dumbed down. They've said outright they want to appeal to westerners.

This really just has to do with the production costs of games. 3DS games are all low quality assets and are much cheaper to finance. Switch is just a home console that can be portable. It's still costly to develop games for.

The PS2, PS3, and 3DS all really bask in the glory of games at times when babies wanted them to die so their successors get the spotlight.

It's great.

It's already confirmed not to be dumbed down and to be the best Monster Hunter ever made

Stay mad Nintenkike

>PS3
Its library really doesn't hold up at all though

Thread is not even about monhun you retards

whats the point.

MH is not coming to 3DS anymore.
All the good jap games not gonna get localized

ITS FUCKING OVER 3DS IS DEAD FOR WESTERN PEASANT FAGS

Pokemon Ultrasun

I wish I had bought a new 3DS instead of an old one so I wouldn't feel like having to buy the newer one

This.

No DQM= Already DEAD!

fuck nintendo and fuck squenix.

>It's still costly to develop games for.
Still nowhere near as costly as developing for PS4/Xbone.

Let's dispel this fiction once and for all that Switch isn't gonna replace 3DS as the mainline Nintendo handheld.

>SNES kept recieving games 2 years after N64 was launched
>N64 recieved games 1 year after GameCube was launched
>GBA recieved games 4 years after the DS was launched, even a revision like N2DS now
>DS continued support 2 years into the 3DS lifespan

Etc.

In 1-2 years Nintendo will launch a mini Switch that caters particularly to people that wants a cheaper, smaller portable machine with better battery removing joycons, docking capabilities and maybe smaller screen.

They'll have their pure handheld but they'll be able to play both home console and portable games.

Why 3DSfags dont want this?

Nintendo already stated they're making a unified departament and mainline Pokemon is already moving to Switch.

It's really some underage 3DSfags that didn't know GameBoy and can't comprehend that the -DS brand is kill after N2DS?

Fucking why? They have a new portable system to promote. Why keep supporting a dead handheld?

...

Well i for one dont want this cuz the one game i wanted from them is never gonna come out, so they deserve all my undiluted hate.

Mainline Pokémon is confirmed to be moving to the Switch. 3DS is dead.

Which game?

The Switch isn't a handheld.

Dragon quest monsters joker 3 (pro).

The dqm series was never localized officialy (yeah i know abd i played the fantrans) and this e3 was the very last chance for the game to be announced, so now its never gonna happen.

It is when you remove it from the dock.

The first two Monsters games on GBC were localised. The first two Joker games on DS were released as well.

Yes it is. It's handheld and it's gonna replace the -DS line. Just that for now, they're gonna coexist for a bit longer, like all their previous handhelds / consoles.

Maybe i should have worded that better, sorry:

*the 3ds dqm games were never localized officially.

What's going to happen to the best games in the DS family now that they're downgrading the functionality of their handhelds?

Reminder that the DS was supported for like 8 years. We're on the 3DS's 6th

That's called a gimmick, which is something that Nintendo likes to use.

Its another way of saying it is dead.
>"We'll support it as much as we can"
R.I.P handheld mainline

Well the switch has more resolution in one screen that that shirt double screen combined. Frankly I hardly call it downgrade, more like a beneficial trade.

It's nothing new. See Super Gameboy. The idea is the same, but in this case you plug the handheld directly into your TV.

>another 400 posts thread about this

In a year or so they're going to release a portable-only Switch and finally let the 3DS die. It's going to happen.

>playing games is a gimmick.

You aren't fooling anyone, marketer.

Well them I'm a pretty bad "marketer" because atm Nintendo is officially marketing the Switch as a homeconsole.

post yfw you didn't buy a Vita

>Mfw WiiU not on this list because Kimishima hit the killswitch on the WiiU like a jew.

Oh good, so its gameplay design will be streamlined to make sense rather than be confusing for the sake of being confusing

>Its library really doesn't hold up at all though
Except it does? Or are you posting from 2009?

Apology accepted !!

I wish for that, and I still don't think this is going to be the case. I would buy that shit in a heartbeat if only because I do want a new handheld that can "handle" some shit.

>Wants to make a 3DS thread and not expect Monster Hunter to be mentioned
It's probably one of the only reasons people have a 3DS. It's the only reason I own anything Nintendo including my shit Wii and WiiU.

IT'S AN UGLY CONSOLE WITH UGLY AS FUCK GAMES THAT ALL HAVE SHITTY FRAME RATES.

I'M SAYING WHAT YOU AND EVERYONE THAT OWNS A 3DS IS THINKING.

YOU AND EVERYONE THAT PROPS UP THE 3DS SHOULD APOLOGIZE TO ME.

Except the Switch will never fill the void in the handheld market?

You obviously have no idea how businesses work if you think they'd gimp themselves by only having one universal piece if hardware.

Nintendo needs to release a small HD portable handheld console.
Something like the switch but smaller.

In fact is the exact oposite, that's why Sony dumped their handheld division. It's expensive to develop for two different hardwares. For Nintendo was the oposite, their homeconsoles are pretty much underperforming since the N64 era (with the success of Wii being an apparent illusion), and now with the handhelds on decay, they stated clearly that they were merging both departaments and as a result they are focusing now in a unified platform which is the Switch.

ign.com/boards/threads/nintendo-restructure-incoming-establishing-unified-dev-hq.452840885/

Just like the DS wasn't meant to replace the Game Boy, right?

I'll eat my shorts the day Nintendo drops dedicated handhelds.

In fact the rumours of the NX becoming an all in one portable and home console started with the internal restructuration of Nintendo's software deparament. Right now, they don't have a handheld and homeconsole departament anymore at an internal level.

And no, they're not dropping the dedicated handhelds, they're actually dropping their dedicated homeconsoles. Switch is basically a tablet that can be connected to a TV. I'm sure that the unnecesarely huge design of the dock is to make it appear more like a console.

But I don't want 240p games in 2018 and beyond... That OG Yugioh manga page where someone's eyes could only see pixels would be relevant right now

Ok, retard, let's talk. Does the Switch
have to connect to an external display? Nope, it has one built in. Does it have to be plugged into an outlet? Nope. Are the controls on an external controller? Nope, they're slapped right on the fucking sides of it. If you are saying Switch isn't a portable, I guess that iPads and tablets aren't portable to you, either.

Is it still impossible to get a regular sized New 3DS in America?

I think they should consider making a gaming console with an android smart phone OS included (dual boot).
Something the size of a smart phone with small Joy-Con's.

Only through limited edition designs.

in other words, they can squeeze out another set of rehashes before it finally dies.

I'd be happy if they just ported over n64 games desu

*get banned*

If you had a console that can fill both handheld and console market and you had 2 older consoles would you market it as the successor of the one that is already dead or the one that is still selling?

Obviously, that's why I was saying that guy that I'd be a pretty bad marketer if I was a Nintendo shill, because what Im basically saying is that Switch is intended to be the handheld replacement for 3DS.

The Switch is competing more with tablets than phones.
You don't see a lot of people carrying tablets outside the house, they need to make a handheld that is smart phone sized so it can be pocketed, preferably with all the smart phone functionality so it can replace your phone completely.

There's actually a lot of good third party stuff. Lots of good jrpgs too.
Most of the 1st party stuff varies, or it's stale, boring shit that's impossible to play online like smash and mario kart. And if you hack one you can get it all for free so there's no reason to get upset.

More free games for me, thanks nintendie.

> they need to make a handheld that is smart phone sized so it can be pocketed, preferably with all the smart phone functionality so it can replace your phone completely
As if Nintendo had the power to compete with the smartphone market.

This.
The thing is even though I have a hacked "new" 3ds I'm still buying the strange journey and super star saga remakes.

You don't get banned for using freeshop.

user, can you still download games without getting banned? I'm afraid to turn on mine.

You don't understand, Nintendo isn't doing separate development anymore. If anything, they'll let 3rd partys use their character for mobile games but that's all. That console you're proposing would have to be a smaller switch with android on top of it (which is a stupid idea except for the smaller part).

It doesn't need to compete with high-end smartphones, it can be a mid-range Android smartphone with an option to dual boot to a Nintendo console operating system alongside.

Why is it stupid? People that carry around Nintendo DS's also have to carry around their smartphone, this way they can have just one device that does it all.

Yes, you still can.
If you're worried about it you can also find .cia files and install them through FBI.
For good measure though I don't play games online. Got bored of smash and monster hunter anyway.

"Support" doesn't mean actively make mainline titles
