3DS

This information comes from Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa…

Next, let’s consider the business outlook for the Nintendo 3DS family.

Nintendo 3DS is set apart from Nintendo Switch by its characteristics as a handheld game system that is lightweight, price-friendly, and highly portable. Affordability is the strong point that positions Nintendo 3DS in a niche clearly separate from Nintendo Switch. In the grand scheme of things, Nintendo 3DS has a prominent position as the product that can be served as the first contact between Nintendo and many of its consumers, and for this reason we will keep the business going.

During summer and fall, the hot-selling New Nintendo 2DS XL package was replaced in the US and European markets with sets featuring a pre-installed popular title. Because the suggested retail price was left unchanged in the US, the inclusion of one software title made the system feel like even more of a value to consumers. During the first half, we have launched specially designed versions of New Nintendo 2DS XL in Japan and elsewhere. We are continuing with efforts to expand sales.


Earlier today, Nintendo announced that Yo-kai Watch 3 is releasing on December 7 in Europe. Alongside the news, we have a look at the boxart above. Continue on below for a bunch of details about the game as well.

Nintendo published a new trailer for Yo-kai Watch 3, which you can watch below. Other than showing some gameplay, the trailer also revealed the final release date of the game in Europe: December 7th.
