3DS games in the future?

Nintendo Online already has Game Boy and Game Boy Advance available, and the other two handhelds remaining are the DS and 3DS. Their two-screen formats present new difficulties that previous handhelds do not, however, nor do any of their current console offerings present the same challenge (currently NES/SNES/Genesis/N64). We will almost certainly see the GameCube and Wii in the future, which Nintendo has solutions for regarding power and motion controls. The Wii U does have some similar issues as the DS and 3DS...but most of its big games have been ported, remastered, or replaced in the series and it started with the power of a console instead of a handheld. It's also got two consoles to come before it whereas the DS and 3DS are the two remaining handhelds to explore, plus the Wii U was less successful than them...so the Wii U-issue is a bit different and minimized in comparison. Nintendo's got thirteen years of software on the DS and 3DS they can still make available to people. What's their move going to be about this? Are they going to just remaster some hits to fit their next system like they're doing with Mario VS Donkey Kong right now? Will they continue combining past system features like the Wiimotes/Joycons and have a second screen in the future -- maybe hinged like the DS/3DS, maybe ejectable like a SIM Card tray, maybe detached like Bluetooth connectivity? Do they just split the screen for their top and bottom halves of the games? Get us a solution for that and that makes getting access to the Dreamcast in the future more likely -- that feels like that'd be a cool selling point for them and Sega both. Or does Nintendo even bother with games built this uniquely different from the rest of gaming history anymore? I don't know this obviously, but I feel like Nintendo's got to be considering what to do regarding their past work with the DS and 3DS as they develop their next system. I don't think they just let the games disappear from being accessible on modern systems forever and ever...but I don't know what works the best today as games on modern systems, what gets people the most excited as fans, and what makes Nintendo more money as a company along the way either if they pursue this. What should Nintendo do? I hope it's something. Link Between Worlds on a TV would be sweet. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg <cite>HaRRicH posted [p:976191575] in What is Ni...

Underleveled 09/20/23 12:35:01 PM #7:	Most likely, the major stuff will see remakes and remasters. When the 3DS eShop closed, someone asked what 3DS games will be remade for Switch and my gut answer was Luigi's Mansion 2, and lo and behold, it was the first one announced. Other popular answers were Fire Emblem Awakening, Link Between Worlds, and Pokemon X/Y/S/M, and I think those will all come out on the successor. But I think the large majority will simply be trapped on the defunct console, and I mean, even of the significant stuff. --- darkx Games beaten in 2023 - 7; Most recent - Professor Layton and the Curious Village <cite>Underleveled posted [p:976193718] in What is Ni...

Waluigi1 09/25/23 6:47:54 PM #13:	Nintendo is weird about GameCube games so I don't think we'll see them on NSO any time this decade. They'll just continue to remaster those games whenever they see fit. As for the 3/DS issue, they probably just do what games they can? Like the ones that have touch controls as optional. Or with the Switch 2, have the dock be self sufficient so you can use your switch like you used to use the Wii U game pad? I don't see that happening though tbh. --- PSN, and GT: Waluigi1 Switch FC: SW-6848-3841-9099 <cite>Waluigi1 posted [p:976302979] in What is Ni...
