I mean they obviously eventually will make a new designated handheld…clearly they still care about it as a separate market as they are releasing the new 2ds in july and are still developing games for it even now. many were announced at e3…

Switch is spiritual successor to 3ds. To be honest, here in australia i’ve never seen more people hand held gaming as much as i have seen lately (via switch). What might occur is they bring out a switch slim without docking capabilitues making it a more handheld version of the console.

I’ve saved a screenshot on my phone mate of your 3DS successor quote, because frankly, the reason the 3DS will get a successor is the price point. The Switch is too expensive to be a suitable replacement.

I hope the Wii-mote is tastey! Lol

When you can buy 2 3DS XL & 2 Pokémon games for the price of the Switch. The Switch needs to come down a lot in price.

I actually wish they did that, I’d be happy with just a handheld. As much as Pokemon on big screen sounds awesome, I’m probably going to use Switch mostly as a handheld anyways as I don’t have space for more consoles on my tv setup. Feels cruel to take one of them away to make space

If you ever get to play old games. Get a GameCube and Pokemon Box. It was Wonderful playing Pokemon on a 20" tv.

HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE.

Really not seeing much hype tbh.

At least it will come out when they’ve given the Switch an update.

i concur, but!
Emulation has come a long way, what about… hooking a pc to that 20" Tv and run Gamecube in whatever highest resolution your tv supports
with all the graphics cranked up :3

now that is real estate ayyy.

I bought a Switch and I love the flexibility. It’s amazing and still has much potential. However, I do not think Switch should be a direct successor due to its size and pricing. I think a Switch Lite could be nice. Being a bit old school, I still enjoy a dedicated mobile gaming device like the 3DS though.
