I still think the N3ds is an extension of the 3ds family line. I would not be surprised if more N3ds exclusive titles were in the works. I am in NO hurry to see the 3ds family go! Hopefully at least a year more, two would be better in my book!
I'm kind of sad that so many seem to be eager for the 3DS family to end. I'm not ready, that's for sure. They're great little systems, especially for kids! I know all good things must come to an end, but I hope the wind down is a slow one.
I'll keep playing online Splatoon for as long as I am able. Still need to reach level 50!
The Switch is fine in price (way out of my range, especially when games, etc. are thrown in, but it's understandable). Still wishing the price for the N3DS would come down, especially if they're going to produce more N3DS exclusive games (which I suspect they are, though I could be wrong).
Even my hubby really likes this game (WiiU), and that's saying something since he's not a big gamer. If you don't have the WiiU, but have a 3ds, definitely pick this up!
@Noelemahc Not necessarily. There aren't enough games in the current switch lineup to tempt me to buy a switch. It would be cheaper for me to upgrade to an N3DS.
Currently working through Conquest. If Fates really does come to Switch, I highly recommend. If they sell it in one cart for Switch, I'll be jealous! I missed out on the special edition cart for the 3DS (have the physical copy of Birthright, downloaded Conquest and Revelations).
Given it's limited battery life on the go, I don't think of the Switch as a handheld replacement, I see it as more of a home console more than anything else. I also wouldn't let a kid take a $300 system on the go.
I'm glad that 3DS will still be going strong for a bit longer. I'm much more of a handheld gamer than a console or pc gamer. Some excellent looking games are coming out this year for the 3DS, and I'm excited!!!
Also, I have yet to see a Mini NES Classic in stores... :-/
I'm not planning on purchasing a Switch, but I found the presentation interesting. Fire Emblem Warriors was the only game that stood out to me (and it was probably one of the least covered). I don't like the idea of paid online game play, though Splatoon 2 looked lovely. I was a little disheartened by the price (still hoping for a permanent New 3DS mark down). Was never interested in BOTW, and I wasn't just amazed by the other games featured (though I know more will be coming). For now I am very content with my Wii U and 3DS.
Also (and I know it's a bit off topic), I hope another Nintendo Direct will come in a few weeks for the 3DS. Several awesome looking titles are coming this year, and I'm hoping to hear about a few more (coughs ETRIAN ODYSSEY V coughs).
Absolutely yes to a permanent price drop to the 3DS family! I've decided that I want to upgrade to a New 3DS XL, but not for $200 (or more, depending on the seller).
Ever Oasis, Pikmin, Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns, and Super Mario Superstars are the announced games that I'm looking forward to the most this year. Also hoping for Etrian Odyssey V (and as I've already said many, many times, Untold III)! Pretty please, Atlus?
I voted Pocket Card Jockey and FE Fates. Haven't gotten around to Kirby Planet Robobot yet, but it is on my Christmas wishlist this year...so we'll see.
Seriously hoping we get Etrian Odyssey V and Untold III for the 3DS...sooner the better. Haven't heard anything about them lately, and I'm starting to worry a little bit. Would love to vote for them next year!
Like others have said, 3DS had a good year. FE Fates (Birthright) was a highlight for me. I only just recently got Hyrule Warriors Legends, but haven't gotten far into it yet. I'm more excited about what's to come in 2017 though.
If it were to have an excellent GameCube VC library, along with a solid Switch library, I might consider a purchase further down the road. Still not interested in getting it day 1 (if at all).
Still a little sad that they haven't made an AW title for the 3DS. May get Dual Strike for the Wii U down the road. Need to play a few more Christmas gigs before I can justify buying anything fun.
Fantasy Life is also one of my faves of all time! Still need to finish FE: Fates. Tales of the Abyss is also excellent. Honestly I don't think that I was really into RPGs until I got a 3DS. Now a majority of my games are RPGs!
Was going to get this day one, then I had to replace 2 tires on my car (adulting stinks sometimes). Guess I'll be working on my backlog...at least until my birthday or Christmas.

Looking forward to this game! Not long now!
Re: Mario Sports Superstars Is Getting Its Own Range Of amiibo Cards
I bought some of the AC cards, hardly ever use them. Pretty sure I would hardly use these as well. Would rather spend my money on games, tbh.
Re: Pikachu Yellow Edition New Nintendo 3DS XL Confirmed for North America
I really hope that they cut the price for the N3DS XL, preferably shortly after the Switch release (though SOONER would be great too).
Re: Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns Secures North American Release Date
Already pre-ordered! Can't wait!
Re: I Am Setsuna Confirmed as Launch Day Release on Nintendo Switch
When there's a good sale, I'll probably download it from Steam. This game looks beautiful! I have plenty to play for now though.
Re: It's Nintendo Switch Petition Time, With Miiverse on the Agenda
I mostly used Miiverse just for Splatfests. I loved seeing everyone's creative artwork for it!

Re: Fire Emblem Warriors Arrives on Switch & New Nintendo 3DS This Fall
@Noelemahc Not necessarily. There aren't enough games in the current switch lineup to tempt me to buy a switch. It would be cheaper for me to upgrade to an N3DS.
Re: Fire Emblem Warriors Arrives on Switch & New Nintendo 3DS This Fall
I'm wondering if this is the beginning of more N3DS exclusives (from older models).
Re: Fire Emblem Warriors Arrives on Switch & New Nintendo 3DS This Fall
I guess I'm upgrading to the New Nintendo 3DS.
Re: Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia Coming to 3DS on 19th May
Did not expect this! Super excited!!!
Re: Talking Point: What We Hope to See in the Fire Emblem Nintendo Direct
@invictus4000 Personally I like Awakening and Fates equally.
I'll be interested in learning more about the mobile app. I'll enjoy looking at Warriors, even though I'm not getting a Switch.
Re: Reminder: A Fire Emblem Nintendo Direct is Coming on 18th January
Currently working through Conquest. If Fates really does come to Switch, I highly recommend. If they sell it in one cart for Switch, I'll be jealous! I missed out on the special edition cart for the 3DS (have the physical copy of Birthright, downloaded Conquest and Revelations).

Re: Square Enix Confirms Nintendo Switch Release For I Am Setsuna
I may try it on Steam, once the price goes down. I have a hefty backlog to keep me occupied until then, I can wait.

Re: Atlus Is Bringing Shin Megami Tensei To Nintendo Switch
Hopefully the next news from Atlus will be about Etrian Odyssey V...
Re: Fire Emblem Warriors Has Been Announced For the Nintendo Switch
I always thought that Fire Emblem and Warriors would be a match made in Heaven. Wish it was coming out on 3DS (but I understand why it wouldn't).
Re: The 'January Digital Deals' Offer eShop Discounts in North America
If you don have Pocket Card Jockey yet, get it!
I might get Dr. Mario.
Re: Feature: Everything You Need to Know About the Nintendo Switch, So Far
Won't get to watch either broadcast live, most likely. I am looking forward to reading all about it, though!
Re: Nikkei Reports a Nintendo Switch Price of 25,000 Yen, Prompting $250 Speculation
If it brings down the price of the New 3DS (& XL) I'm all for it.
Re: Poll: One Week to Go - How Are Your Nintendo Switch Presentation Hype Levels?
I'm probably not getting one, but I want it to be successful. I want to see how it will affect the 3ds family (particularly price-wise/support-wise).
Re: My Nintendo's New Year Rewards Add Some Fresh Discounts
Still not inspired to get a My Nintendo account.

Re: Feature: The Nindie Christmas Celebration - Pocket Card Jockey
I love this game! Don't want to know how many hours that I've put into it...
Re: Deals: There Are a Lot of Festive eShop Discounts in North America
I ended up getting Lord of Magna and Adventure Bar Story.
I recommend KAMI if you like puzzlers. I'm also enjoying Samurai Defender.
Re: Deals: There Are a Lot of Festive eShop Discounts in North America
How long does this sale last?
I just got Samarai Defender a couple of days ago, full price! Wishing I'd waited!

Re: Feature: It's Time to Vote for Your Nintendo Life Overall Game of the Year
I voted Pocket Card Jockey and FE Fates. Haven't gotten around to Kirby Planet Robobot yet, but it is on my Christmas wishlist this year...so we'll see.
Seriously hoping we get Etrian Odyssey V and Untold III for the 3DS...sooner the better. Haven't heard anything about them lately, and I'm starting to worry a little bit. Would love to vote for them next year!
Re: Video: Embrace the Weirdness of Snack World, Level-5's Next Big Thing
@Lilith93 I'm in the same boat.
Looking forward to learning more about this. The fact that Level 5 is doing this makes me optimistic about this game.
Re: Yooka-Laylee Rattles Away From Wii U Release
Bummed, but not surprised.
Re: Veteran Publisher Majesco Exits The Video Game Business
Poor C Mama! I loved 2. May have to check out 5.

Re: NES Classic Mini Demand "Greater Than We Anticipated," Admits Reggie Fils-Aime
Two or three units at some stores is not what I call "trying to satisfy demand".
Re: Poll: How Important is the Virtual Console, and GameCube, for the Nintendo Switch?

Re: Amazon US Likely To Have NES Classic Mini In Stock Again Soon
I guess it's probably good that my Christmas wasn't dependent upon this one item. Pretty sure I won't even see one until January.
Re: Charmander Joins the Ranks at Build-A-Bear
I'm not into build-a-bear, but that's pretty freaking cute!
Re: Toys 'R' Us Expecting Fresh NES Classic Mini Stock This Weekend
Like others, I'll wait until after Christmas (if my hubby doesn't snag one before then).
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st December (North America)
Still a little sad that they haven't made an AW title for the 3DS. May get Dual Strike for the Wii U down the road. Need to play a few more Christmas gigs before I can justify buying anything fun.
Re: Soapbox: Nintendo, the NES Mini and Ongoing Stock Problems
Starting to worry again that I won't get an NES Mini. :-/
Re: Stardew Valley is Cancelled for Wii U, But It's Heading to Nintendo Switch
Good thing I have it on my PC then. I really like this game.

Re: North American eShop Cyber Deals Bring Over 40 Discounts
Everything that I'd want I already have. Those are some NICE deals though.
Re: Feature: 10 Essential 3DS RPGs
All of the Etrian Odyssey series. All. Of. It.
Fantasy Life is also one of my faves of all time! Still need to finish FE: Fates. Tales of the Abyss is also excellent. Honestly I don't think that I was really into RPGs until I got a 3DS. Now a majority of my games are RPGs!

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Switch To Start At £199.99 In United Kingdom, $329.99 In Canada
If this is true, I really hope that this means the New 3DS will make a permanent price drop.
