Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima Recently made a statement indicating that a 3DS successor is being considered, as he believes that there is a need and market for it.
In a recent interview, Todd Howard revealed that he has no plans to retire and reiterated Bethesda's openness to help from other studios.
Oh great, now we have to deal with Anasts Bethesda fetish indefinitely.
Thanks a lot, Todd
Embracer CEO demonstrates a masterclass in mental gymnastics in latest interview.
"I'm sure I deserve a lot of criticism, but I don't think my team or companies deserve all the criticism. I could take a lot of that blame myself. But ultimately I need to believe in the mission," he said.
OK give us Kingdoms of Amalur 2 with AAA budget and we will accept your excuse
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
It undermines what they're doing with the Switch. Stick to one system that does both. Then you'd have all of Nintendo's console and handheld teams all making games and collaborating on one system. So many games attracting both crowds of gamers. You don't need a new handheld Nintendo. The whole point of the Switch is to do both, so let it do that.
A 3DS replacement makes no sense since porting those games to the Switch would add to the Switch library
Terrible strategy. I thought they were going to put all of the devs onto one machine and pretty much create a huge catalog of games at least exclusives from their studios to combat the problems they have with third parties. Now if this comes to pass expect a drought and more focus being paid to the 3ds successor.
Edit: From a business perspective i understand the move to want to get the 3ds cash but they need to consolidate for the health of the gamer. They're basically destroying the switch.
considering doesn't mean it actually currently being planned.
They will make only if smaller Japanese devs can't afford to move to HD game development which a lot of don't.
You never know the next successor for Nintendo Dedicated Handheld might just be a cheaper Switch with dual screen.
They should just make a second version of the switch with no docking. That way those people who have to have the handheld only can. The important thing is that they are not spreading their games across two platforms anymore. They really need to put out more first party games faster without two consoles taking away from one.
