Nintendo says Switch Lite isn’t replacing 3DS, will still support it if there’s demand

Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser has indicated that the 3DS won’t be going anywhere for the time being. “We’ll continue to support our 3DS family of systems as long as there is demand,” Bowser told The Verge.
