Nintendo Looking Into Options For Successor To 3DS System
Shuntaro Furukawa, the new president of Nintendo of Japan, recently had a chance to speak with shareholders about what they have planned next for the handheld market. According to him, the company is looking into “various options” when it comes to a successor for the Nintendo 3DS.
Although the system has slowed down in momentum in comparison to the Switch, the 3DS and 2DS are still considered highly valued systems on the market thanks to their affordable pricing ($150 compared to the Switch’s $300 cost) and the available games for them, including favorites like Super Smash Bros. and Metroid: Samus Returns.
With that, the company is probably looking into a handheld that will keep fans of that market interested while serving as a non-competitor to the Switch. It’s too early to tell just what kind of features this new system could very well have but the company has proven in the past that it knows how to make a formula better with each new hardware iteration, from the Game Boy to the DS to the 3DS (and eventually 2DS XL).
As far as when we’ll hear something on this new system, it likely won’t be for a while. The company is full steam ahead on the Switch so we probably won’t even hear anything on it until at least E3 2019 if not later than that.

good! its like a less hardcore version of switch and is something that appeals to a different market than the switch

I mean, I thought that's what the switch was for. Fair enough they're trying to develop something cheaper but for the current games I doubt they will be able to.

Dont know many people that still play the 3DS, still a great console though, just that theirs so much hype over the Switch is all.
