@Kalmaro what Virtual Console? The 3DS's? If it can't handle GBA, it's not coming to that one! The Wii U's? What's a Wii U?

Shhhh, calling it a handheld gets these fanboys all up in arms, because they believe the 3DS isn't being replaced by Switch even though anyone with a brain that has common sense will tell you that Pokemon is why the 3DS is even remotely relevant today, and it's about to lose that franchise soon.

Is this even a fair comparison? Japan is a handheld market, clearly indicated by how Vita and 3DS did there, with the fact that after Switch came out both fell off a cliff in sales (yes, even 3DS has dropped massively something like 80% lower year-on-year for weekly sales in Japan), so just the fact that this thing is the 3DS's successor there should give comparison to how Star Rush or another Mario Party 3DS game did, not Mario Party 10 which was easily the weakest of the franchise (seriously, ND Cube did you not learn after how lowly rated 9 was to lose the damn car??).

Doesn't work if you're one of the 30% who uses it exclusively as a handheld!

For those who can't read the writing on the wall, this is Nintendo clearly shouting how the 3DS is being phased out right now. They're doing to it in 2018 what they did to the Wii U in 2016. There's no chance without Pokemon that the 3DS will live on alongside Switch. Those who actually believe that are just living in stupidity purposely ignoring the signs all pointing that 3DS is going to be officially a dead system in 2019 (oh and those who argue for those remakes/ports, look at Wii U in 2017, it was the exact same thing, and it was officially shutdown in 2017, mark my words that 2019 is the year Nintendo pulls the plug on their dying 3DS).

Just remember there are 50% MORE Wii U's sold than Dreamcasts, not to mention roughly 300% more Wii U games sold than Dreamcast games (approximately 33 million Dreamcast games were sold total compared to nearly 102 million Wii U games). So, by using a Dreamcast, they're upping the collectible value, because the more rare item is higher priced due to the rareness!

@NEStalgia Dreamcast is a more rare system, thus making it more valuable, thus increasing the value of Switch because of the harder to find Dreamcasts!

So, basically the Game Genie version of the game? Got it!

Too bad $6.1 million of that was for the 3DS. I've never seen a company push a system that's dying more than Nintendo has the 3DS!!

And notice Reggie said the Wii U "wasn't as successful" as Wii! See? Nintendo themselves won't call it a failure, because it was minimally profitable in the end thanks to an insane attach rate that is actually pretty close to SNES's. It's also why unlike Sega Nintendo reveals numbers for its lowest mainstream system (get real, reaching nearly 15 million is far from being this catastrophic failure that fanboys try to pin it as, that's the 5 month lived, less than 1 million worldwide Virtual Boy!).

Without a disc drive, it is NOT a Wii. Sorry, but if I can't play my Wii collection on it, then it doesn't count.

@Mgene15 remember when fanboys and their god Reggie touted how the Switch (and 3DS) were doing so well in 2018?

@Yorumi did they really force people to upgrade the 3DS to the 3DS XL in 2012?

@baller98 what about the 3DS XL released in 2012 between the 3DS and the 2DS?

But thanks for showing why you can NEVER trust what you read on Wikipedia!

@AxeltheBuizel Just Dance 2019: https://www.gamestop.com/wii-u/games/just-dance-2019/163529

Just thought I'd point out that all their physical stores were auctioned off. This is JUST the IP, nothing else! Don't expect the same stores you went to to suddenly reopen, they don't own those properties anymore.

Nintendo 3DS: 240 resolution and fans be like "this looks amazing!"
Nintendo Switch: 720 p resolution and fans be like "this looks like crap!"

I'm just glad he brought all those 3DS systems so they could actually play games on the go!

Wooo! More games that are going to bomb in sales! Look this isn't 2016, the system and this series aren't as popular as they once were (especially in Japan), so this is going to be yet more games that tank in sales, just like Wario Ware did (that didn't even crack the top 20 in any Western region!).

People are making fake cardboard? What ARE the chances???

Wooo, just like 900 million people downloaded Pokemon Go, but only 65 million actually open it once a month!

There is really 2 Nintendo's. the one that only made cards and admired Disney, and the one that copied Disney to become a multinational worldwide corporation based in Japan.

Uh, have you seen how the series performed on the 3DS? Even when the thing was in its prime (shut up fanboys, it's WAY past its prime now), sales of Mario Party games on it totally tanked!

Given the PlayStation wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the Play Station, which used an SNES controller, it should come as no surprise that the first controller was inspired by that one.

@faint Sony keeps them during a grace period.

Calling it now (just because they've never allowed backup saves in any past game in the series) Animal Crossing Switch won't allow cloud saves!

@brunojenso you know it actually plays the original Bowser's Inside Story, right?

@BlueOcean didn't they say at the bottom it was only playable in 2D?

@TJWorks yup. Ever since Go revitalized the system in 2016 they got caught now trying to find quick/cheap ways to sell to that new crowd- it's not working as Wario Ware Gold shows, games now go to it to die, because it's showed something like 80% decline in hardware sales worldwide on their last financial report.

@zool Star Fox Zero SUCKED MIGHTILY!!

@DavidMac Captain Toad on Switch doesn't tie into 3D world like it did on Wii U, it ties into Odyssey at the end.

@Toads-Friend agreed. When this launched originally on Wii U, many critics pointed out how it's VERY, VERY similar to the Wii version. I doubt this will really sell that well on Switch- probably do like Tropical Freeze (minimal).

@bratzdoll doubt the last one seriously Nintendo doesn't care about Animal Crossing anymore, all it is is a cheap mobile app now...

See? See how much of a failure GameCube was that they not only ported many of its games to Wii (under "New Play Control"), but they're continuing to port its exclusives to successive systems- Wii U and now Switch!!

@Kevember that's 7 full years since New Leaf was first released to the public!

@mikegwald funny how a 80% DECREASE year-on-year means it's selling well! I guess Wii U was a phenomenal success then!

@SinnohGeek it's older than the DS when the DS died. The only reason the 3DS hasn't died yet is because it was renewed when Pokemon Go revived it. It would have been totally dead in 2017 if it didn't get revived thanks to Go pushing Sun/Moon, causing Ultra Sun/Moon, and as soon as the franchise that revived it moves to Switch it will be a dead platform.

Well, DUH! I could have told you that, because only like 99% of Wii games allowed you to copy your saves to SD cards. One game in particular, Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City, wouldn't allow you to copy your town's data to an SD card- same goes with Animal Crossing: Jump Out on 3DS, you can't take your save data on your digital download and copy it to an SD card, the system won't let you. For whatever reason Nintendo's strict with town data on Animal Crossing, so that right there told me there will be NO cloud saves for Animal Crossing: Switch (when it comes out around 2027 since that's now a forgotten franchise).

But how are you supposed to play it on the go, use your phone? Switch can only be played at home (per fanboys), meaning you've only got 2 ways to play it- at home on Switch, or on the go with your phone. It'd have been nice if they put it on the 3DS so you could take it with you, but I guess mobile is their portable route. Oh well....

What do you mean next year's? Lying Reggie said it was coming in 2018, and fanboys all say there's no Switch game delays, so that means it's releasing in 2018 according to moronic fanboys and lying Reggie!

@dougphisig they wouldn't have just a Direct for America, but if they had some kind of reveal in the US or something, you can bet with the West's selfish culture (you can even see it on Nintendo Life comments how selfish Westerners are), they'd still have it. Eastern culture has a collective group culture, it's why you don't see the same crap happening in Japan where you do in the US.

No, this isn't a Switch game, because Pokemon only releases on handhelds, and moronic fanboys keep saying that 3DS is the handheld, Switch is not- only a home system meaning it can only be played at home, so clearly this is a 3DS game according to fanboys...

They need to hire people who can actually make games for them. So far their only 1st party AAA exclusive games can be counted on one hand!!

Just to point out it's still ND Cube making these, so don't put your hopes too high on this game...

They have to, it's the only way to skew the install base the same way they horribly skewed the 3DS install base (get real fanboys, over 90% of 3DS owners have WAY MORE than just 1 system).

But, but, but Nintendo fanboys all say that Nintendo's done with Wii U, because it was the next Virtual Boy, despite selling like 100x as many systems, and like 1,000x times as many games. They also said the eshop was ending on it, that Switch was only its successor, that Wii U was finished, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Which is why Nintendo fanboys are some of the worst people on the planet...

Still waiting for all those 1st party Switch games lying Reggie and their gullible fanboys all say were going to be shown...

Here we are in September, no Nintendo Direct to show off all those extra games that fanboys and their lying god Reggie said were coming. Looks like a Gen 1 Pokemon remake using Go's controls and Smash really are the only games- that Mario Party spin-off doesn't count either!!

Third party and indies, wooooo. More games that will fail to reach 1 million copies sold...
