Even though I got Xbox One, Ps4, Switch and a decent gaming PC, for some reason I play with my 3ds faaar more than I play any of the other systems, to be honest I've been playing with the 3ds and haven't touched the others since Christmas...
Yes i play it becaus on the switch ther Aren't pokemon gamesI do since the switch doesn't have pokemon and some other game series yet it also does not have backward compatibility so you will still need to play your 3ds anyways to play the older games. Which is why I think the 3ds is still alive and won't be discontinued anytime soon.
Virtual console mate.Don't forget that the Switch optimally only lasts for... wha,t 2-3 hours on an intensive game? whereas the New or even older 3/2DS's can last up to 6-8 hours. Even now, I really only got my switch for BoTW and the game is very fun, but I'm already regretting letting the hype get to me. And yeah, I have a huge backlog of 3DS games I haven't even so much as touched. I mean just look at the 3DS at launch and what it is now -> normal release to "New Nintendo 3DS" with it's fancy bumpers, it's looking good. And that backward-compatibility with DS games, mm... something even Sony hasn't implemented with the ps4 surprisingly
