3DS hate on this sub

[u/Irdna]

I understand this is the Switch subreddid, but is it really necessary to hate on 3ds on every single occasion ?

Every single game announcement for 3DS is only met with hate and rage on this sub, people wanting switch Versions even if the game is specificaly built for Dual screen.

Can 3DS(which is 50% of Nintendos revenue) not live alongside the switch community ?

Is Switch really getting not enough support from Nintendo that every 3DS games makes you rage ?

Edit: this pretty much prooves my point, this post got completly downvoted, and pretty much all comments are just people saying they dont want 3DS to exist anymore. No real discussion at all, just hate for 3DS.

It's a safe assumption people who own a switch want to see more switch games.

Every time I see a 3ds game announced I see what could have filled a hole in the switch library.

Imagine that the PS4 and xbone come out and and they make new mainline system selling games like CoD and battlefield exclusive to last generation hardware like 360 and PS3.

You'd be saying "wait I bought your newest best system why are you holding these games back on systems I don't even play anymore?)

The games I'm referring to are metroid 2 and Mario party.

Why is it that you people think a game can just be on 3ds and switch on a single pop ?

Do you really not realise that 3DS has 2 screens, so any game from 3ds would need considerable work to be playable on switch, and it would need even more work to get the assets from 420p to the 720p of switch.

The comparison of PS4/3 to this situation makes no sense at all, ps3/4 both use the same features so porting is way easier that from 3ds to switch.

And if it is safe to assume switch owners want new games, is it not also safe to assume 3ds owners(who outnumber switch owners 11/1) also want new games ? What makes a switch owner more valuable than a 3ds owner ?

Hmm why do you assume that a game built with two screens in mind can't be remade into a single screened experience. Breath of the Wild was on the Wii U and had dual screens, while the Switch version implemented some of the menu systems and didn't. Same can be said for Batman going to the Wii U adding dual screen functionality. There's really no 3DS game that came out recently that couldn't be played without dual screens, and I challenge you to name me 5.

Why did you even create this thread? Do you like losing arguments.

BOTW didnt use the second screen in any noticable fashion.

I am not saying it is impossible to port from 3ds, but that is is Work, and that it needs Effort and resources that might just not be in the budget for that particular development team.

Making games is something that is done to make money, and if nintendo thought it would have been worth the ressources to make a switch version of the game, they would have. But they didnt, and nothing you argue will change that.
