Nintendo Promises To Keep Making Games For The 3DS

With the debute of the Nintendo Switch, Nintedo’s newest console and the strongest handheld device ever marketed, many Nintendo fans were worried about the shelf life of their Nintendo 3D’s. Nintendo has put those fears to rest recently as Tatsumi Kimishima, the companies president, released a new document during a recent investor meeting stating that Nintendo will keep developing games for their last handheld device. Stating within the document that: “we will continue to introduce new titles that players can enjoy for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems”.

The president of Nintendo America, Reggie Fils – Aime, also confirmed this ideal during an interview with Polygon. He went on to state that “Our intention has always been to have Nintendo 3DS and 2DS side by side with the Switch…It’s great that we have even more momentum [with the 3DS] than we anticipated, but it’s always been our position to have these two products side by side”.

This news comes with a sigh of relief for many Nintendo gamers who can’t currently afford the Switch, and it’s titles. Or more importantly it stands as a stark relief for fan’s that enjoy the current titles being produced for the 3D’s – and didn’t see the two handhelds co-existing peacefully.

However Kimishia went on to assuage those fears, naming titles currently in construction for the 3D’s, including titles such as Fire Emblem Echoes, a new Pikmin, and several other titles. Also stating that “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,”.

So stay calm and keep on dear 3D’s gamers, you aren’t forgotten by Nintendo just yet.
