Forgotton Anne makes its way to Switch today as a digital download. Take a look at close to an hour of footage below.
Even though Switch is the focus when it comes to Nintendo hardware these days, 3DS hasn’t been entirely forgotten. The system is still being sold and there will still be games released on the dedicated portable next year.
Speaking during the company’s latest financial briefing, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said that 3DS will continue to be sold as long as there’s demand. Furukawa also reiterated that 3DS has its own advantages compared to Switch thanks to its size, weight, and price.
During Nintendo’s financial results briefing last month, one investor brought up how Switch has some major games missing from third-party publishers. President Shuntaro Furukawa was asked if he believes this will change in the future.
In response, Furukawa indicated that it’s unrealistic to expect every major game on Switch. Nintendo is speaking with publishers, however, and he believes “the number of titles on it will increase a lot more.”
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa shared a few words about Nintendo Labo during the company’s latest financial results briefing, mentioning that sales are expected to increase this holiday and it will “sell for a long time”. Sales will also be different to core titles like Mario and Zelda.
Furukawa also left a very interesting comment to close out his response. Labo was one way in which Nintendo wanted to expand Switch’s user base, but Nintendo has other ideas that don’t rely on franchise titles. These will be announced later, Furukawa said.
