I wanna play the sushi game as well as PQ2?
I like the 3DS I'm just saying late 2018 they should probably end its support.
DQ11 will probably be the last major western release so I was just thinking that's a good time for the support to end?
Every game made for the 3DS, is a game that could have been released for the Switch, with 3DS's saturation levels, it's market will not really grow from here, so while mostly everyone doesn't mind that it is getting FE:Warriors for instance, there is 6 to 7 million new Switch users who would love to get Metroid: Samus Returns next month. This can't keep happening since Nintendo is literally competing with themselves and we've seen how it turns out with Sega and the 32x vs Saturn.

Id love to see smaller scope downloadable games that are sequels to existing 3DS games.
Maybe a Luigi's Mansion with some good twists or remixes.

I think we'll probably see Nintendo's first party support for 3DS slow to a trickle and then maybe be a leaky faucet in 2019. Third parties will continue to support the platform for awhile either way. I'm willing to be we'll see some noteworthy Nintendo-published 3DS games next year. They just won't be putting out a new 2D/3D mario or Zelda, etc...
People just seem to associate the idea of "ending support" with Nintendo just dropping the system completely like they did with the Wii-U. In reality, they'll milk as much out of the 3DS as they possibly can because it was/is a successful system.

Yeah I think this year has been great but they can't suppor the console into late 2018 that's way too long.

BOOM!
People expecting games by actual nintendo studios and not just some outsourced spin-offs here and there by third-party studios are gonna be dissapointed.
also I guess Atlus is still releasing stuff, but it's atlus we're talking about did anyone expect anything else from that company lol

Three words
Physical Virtual Console
PVC for short, you know, like some sort of plastic, but not confuseable with minis
On a less bold note they clearly don't see the need to do it. Pokemon 7.5 will probably be enough for 3DSes' last hurrah even though it means nothing for me.

Some of the best first party games come from co-development or outsourced contractors. Look at all the great spinoffs and ports SONY has accumulated from those likes (just like Nintendo or any other publisher really). It's a great opportunity for Nintendo to release some remakes or remasters on the 3DS. Or even quirky spinoffs or sequels to the more niche franchises.
That sure sounds like a wish.

Lol, the double meaning was intentional.
Switch fans are the absolute worst. They make Sony GAF look like Switzerland.

Out of genuine curiosity, how many 3DS games this fall are first-party developed and published? Metroid is being handled by an outside studio right?

Well Nintendo's internal teams have stopped 3DS development for quite a while now, so it would have to be another farmed out spinoff like Hey Pikmin or a port like Xenoblade or DKC Returns. I honestly can't think of much else in the way of spinoffs, though I will agree with that poster on the first page who said Captain Toad would probably work as a port. Can't really think of much else though.
And I don't think we're gonna get that many more first party published titles into 2018, maybe a handful at most. And almost nothing in 2019.
Zero are first party developed, outside of Nintendo assisting/overseeing. Plenty published by Nintendo though.

This is what you call a swan song.
I'd suspect we'll see a new Donkey Kong from Nintendo next year. Considering Retro isn't working on Metroid, and Nintendo has Donkey Kong Country in mind for their theme park plans, I don't feel like the franchise is going away anytime soon.
I'm hoping for a full 3D DK platformer.

Remake of the original Paper Mario.
New Pokémon Puzzle League.
A new 2D Zelda that is to Links Awakening, what A Link Between Worlds is to A Link To The Past.
Advance Wars.

Thanks Skittzo! I thought I remembered reading something to that effect but I wanted to make sure.

Something new would be nice.
You're expecting this... on 3DS??? The platform is dead by the end of next year. No way Nintendo brings a new DK game to 3DS instead of, y'know, that new Nintendo portable with that nice HD screen that's going to be Nintendo's only platform going fprward...

Animal Crossing. You know it will happen.
I'm more or less responding to OPs suggestion of a new DK game coming. To clarify I don't expect this on the 3DS. If we're getting a new Donkey Kong it'll be Switch bound.
As far as what Nintendo could do for the 3DS, I got nothin'.
Ride of the Valkyries.
1. Don't make monoliths out of groups of people.
2. Your personal opinion doesn't address new switch owners.
3. Switch ownership has more than doubled since launch month and will double again before the end of the year, blanket statements about the user base that is changing so rapidly is just ignorance, especially when we are talking about the switch user base at the end of 2018,likely 4 or 5 times as big as today's.
Yeah, OK, I see that he was asking about a new DK. Missed that. I definitely agree that there will be a new DKC game for Switch (maybe a Tropical Freeze port while they're at it, as every prior DKC has gotten a portable version). No way Nintendo does anything significant for 3DS next year though. Third-party stuff, and ports/remakes? Possibly, but I firmly believe any major first-party releases will be for Switch from here on out, regardless of what Nintendo says about 3DS being supported until 2019/2020 or whatever.
Also, on the subject of Retro... has Nintendo said that Retro wasn't working on a new DKC? Could they be? I'm really hoping they aren't. Returns and Tropical Freeze were great, but I really want to see them try something new.
even after 6 years I still get surprised to see how the library of this system is so damn rpg-centric
'Support in 2018' is not the same as 'developing first party games' or even 'publishing third parties games'.
I think we'll just see Sushi Striker as a first party project from Nintendo. They might help publish the 3DS version of Dragon Quest XI in Europe and promote that as the big title. Other than that, there's late ports from Atlus and that's probably about it unless they've got more outsourced, low-budget stuff up their sleeve. At this point, virtually all their in-house studios are working on Switch projects.
2018-19 is going to see a severe winding down compared to this year because Switch is a proven success, whereas the last round of green lit projects were both cheap compared to HD development and had to be able to ensure 3DS could survive past a potentially failed Switch launch for long enough to come up with some kind of plan B.
Seems pretty sensible to me, having the systems overlap for a year.
Actually, another late port I'd love to see is The Alliance Alive, I hope we see that but it's guaranteed to not sell well.

Super Mario RPG.
I want them to remake Wario Land Virtual Boy for 3DS. This would work well for a few reasons:
1. It's a remake, meaning it won't require as many resources as a brand new game.
2. 3DS has many Nintendo franchises covered, but it has yet to have a Wario game.
3. The 3D effect would be a perfect fit.

Agreed, Nintendo should put those niche franchises on 3DS so their bombing won't negatively effect public perception of the Switch.
I hope they put mainline Mother, F-Zero, Waverace, Golden Sun, Advance Wars, Sin and Punishment and more all on 3DS while you all writhe in pain
