Nintendo has revealed at their recent results meeting that they’re still very much committed to supporting the Nintendo 3DS alongside the Nintendo Switch. They will continue to release 3DS games from well-known franchises as they believe that this business is seperate to the Nintendo Switch market and that the two price points are different enough for both to succeed.
“We will have several follow-up titles from popular franchises on Nintendo 3DS and we are developing many other unannounced titles to continue to enrich the software lineup going forward.”
