    Sad that Nintendo will eventually permanently kill off its handheld line. They want Switch to replace their handhelds, but the Switch will never be a home for the kind of niche and budget games the DS and 3DS had, the difference in cost of development is too great. Nintendo will never put JRPGs, strategy games, adventure games, on a home console in the quantities they did on their handhelds. They're not interested in building their home consoles a library of anything but entries in their established franchises and they've proven it many times over. They think bringing over Pokemon and Fire Emblem is enough, as if that's all these systems were good for. Fuck Nintendo.

      Editing … Admittedly I haven't been following the industry for the last 18 months, but I never saw the Switch as a replacement for handhelds. I reckon we'll still see a successor to the 3DS.

      Editing … That's how I saw it at first but I think the handheld line's future was dependent on whether or not the Switch was a success. And now that it is I see the writing on the wall. It could be worse I guess, they could have just switched over to mobile games. But still.

      Editing … Well, the least popular way for the Switch to be used is when it's solely docked (so it's more popular to switch... ha! or to go solely handheld), so whatever the Switch's successor(s) is or are, portability definitely won't fade away. I know the Renegade Kid folk are still sticking with Nintendo (they split into two studios, one for the cartoony stuff like Mutant Mudds, one for the gritty stuff like Dementium), so like, maybe Dementium III will be on Switch or something. I did want "Dementium 3D" though, but I guess we got two digital-only remakes for me to try out :p

      Editing … The Dementium games were underrated I thought. Really good old school first person horror games, if they came out on the PS1 or N64 they'd be seen as all-time classics!

      Editing … FPS on DS functioned amazingly well, it's really disappointing that the 3DS' library didn't expand very much on touchscreen aiming. Renegade Kid was going to make a new horror FPS, Cult County for 3DS, but they couldn't raise all the funds they needed :(
