The Telegraph today interviewed Yoshiaki Koizumi (left) and Shinya Takahashi (right) regarding the Nintendo Switch. The full interview can be found at the source but the most interesting part (other than the claim that several teams of independent developers are working on several different projects that haven’t been announced yet) involves the 3DS! Thanks to GoNintendo.
You’ve mentioned the 3DS there. Will you continue to support the dedicated handheld given Switch could potentially replace it?
“Certainly I think 3DS from a price perspective is quite a bit lower, and it’s a system we’ve released a very large library for. So I think from that perspective it’s a very good system for kids to have as their first system. We still see a lot of potential for 3DS in that area. And with that in mind we’re thinking of games to release for 3DS not just in 2017, but in 2018 as well. And the hope there also is that kids playing on 3DS will also shift over to Switch at some point in the future.”
