Good. Hopefully Splatoon 2 follows suit. It needs that option even more.

It sounds like the Mercedes DLC probably isn't in Deluxe.

I read that it is but it was in a reddit post so who knows how accurate that is.

Sometimes when my switch is in the dock, the screen flashes on and off, just to show a battery icon in the top left. I could see it as a charging thing, but sometimes it happens 24 hours after it's been in the dock so I assume it's fully charged (and the battery icon it displays looks full to me). Is there something else going on here that I'm missing?

They totally are for a while, there's still a bunch coming out for it and it's probably going to remain alive until Pokémon makes the jump.

I expect that we won't see the 3DS stop receiving software until 2018 at the earliest, possibly 2019.

I found a Switch today using http://www.istocknow.com/live/. Unfortunately my left joy con has the connectivity issue. I don't want to wait another week to play the thing!

How does this site even work? You click on a tab, see that they have Switches available, click the 'retail' tab, find out the site is inaccurate and there are no switches to be found, repeat until you die of frustration.
Doesn't really matter. Coverage map looks like somebody detonated a switch-annihilating missile around my area.

With over 70 million units sold, of course they will produce games for the 3ds and keep it alive

I wish Nintendo didn't consider the Switch to be a console first since then maybe we'd get a Kirby game before the Switch's last year of life.

the 3ds will be kept alive for its obligatory year or two after a new console launch, as is the case with every console that is made obsolete, but i would not expect to see any really major releases on there going forward

As long as there's however many millions of 3DS' out there, third parties will keep making GBS threads out some games.

This new stuff coming out is probably what's been in dev before the Switch took off.

They seemed to dump a lot of 3DS games in that last Direct like they were just getting them out of the way. I wouldn't be surprised to see nothing for it at E3 other than maybe a final major release like a third version of Pokémon Sun/Moon along with a few more eShop games.

If you sold your game to 3.5% of 3ds owners, you would have sold more games than there are Nintendo Switches out there. It's that crazy. I feel like you have to be closer to 15% to 25% for games to stop being developed, and that means close to 15 million or more Switches produced.

At the current rate that probably means good games for the 3ds being made through 2 years from now.

Considering the 3DS is the only handheld and is a shovelware graveyard anyways, I'd hold onto one if I had one.

Hopefully soon the Switch will become the catch-all for every AAA Nintendo title as well as the toilet that lovely game companies flush their doodoo down. Like a combination Gameboy / Wii.

Can't wait for Metroid Prime 4 and Elf Bowling 3.

If the switch is as much easier to dev for as some indie devs have already claimed, I'd honestly be surprised if they bothered to spend the extra time/effort to dev for the 3ds going forward, especially if the switch consoles keep flying off the shelves like they have been

This is why I don't like playing Mario Kart. It's one thing to be rubber banded or to lose a spot to bullshit. But going from 1st to last is just bad and I'm not interested in a game that does that.
