What I gathered from this direct was "We love the 3ds, fuck the Wii U"

In seriousness, it seemed like the point was to assure people they'd be continuing to support the 3ds despite the NX coming up, whereas it doesn't seem like the Wii U is getting the same treatment :P

This could hint at NX being compatible with 3ds games, as it would help the NX to have an already expansive library of titles, so it would make sense for them to push a lot of new 3ds games before the NX release.

Of course, this is all speculation.

while its not said by nintendo itself most reliable sources with nx stuff and such have said the nx is a single screen with 6.2" or something along those lines and also 720p screen, if the nx was backwards compat with the 3ds nintendo would have said so long time ago.



It's possible they could display the screens on top of each other, like in an emulator.
on a 6" screen that would be awnfull with 2 very tiny screens, remenber the screen size is the same as the wiiu gamepad more or less, also there is not a single mention of 3d capabilities on the screen and no backwards compat, not a single rumor has ever said backwards compat at all not even rumours. and being single screen with no 3d basicaly seals the deal of no 3ds backwards compat.And yeah every nintendo handheld had backwards compat but this nx is replacing the wiiu for sure with 3ds having manny upcoming games and wiiu basicaly 2 or 3 the nx will be the new wiiu fully portable, even its power is kinda the same maybe a tiny bit better wich is preety damn good for a full portable.

Okay, this time i actually watched the nintendo direct video and the woman was talking about super mario maker.
She said the game DOES have a online mode. You can use it to play 100 mario challenge as intended like wii u and to download courses made on wii u (Except some is not compatiable. My best guess is the NEW SUPER MARIO U courses seeing as that game specifically has a spin jump function the DS or 3DS new super mario never had, or the one featuring the Slender mario or mega mario or costumes from 1985 Mario bros since the 3DS says no costumes would also mean none of that stuff as well So maybe all elese is fair game) She also said any course made for 3DS is only for 3DS via street pass and local share not to upload online. So if anyone still didn't know, now you do.

100 mario challenge requires online mode to play and can download courses but not all of them (Reasons previously stated is just a guess)

Hmmm its the end of 3ds life. Why should they invest in it? The NX will get some good games, not only dlc and shitty remakes. When u release big shit on a console in the end of its life u dont get same money as making same good games for the new console.

PSP is number 2 yet that game was released when the PSP was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay dead.

The 3ds was released with 10 or so games that are either milking franchises with stupid shitty excuse for stories, not to mention remakes, the 3ds/wiiu entire game library is just a bunch of remakes and milkies that make no sense, Nintendo is investing nothing btw, they don't buy game licences, devs buy licences to develop for the console, nintendo does literally nothing but takes the money and apply medicine to the butthurt area about the hacking scene for the 3ds/wiiu. Just because it has different name, better specs, doesn't mean it'll have more than 20% of original games.

Also, axiom verge 3DS!? NICE! Been wishing for a 3ds port ever since i saw it come on other consoles besides vita and steam.

I knew the developer wanted to make a port but he found the 3ds arch and lack of power undelwhelming. Nice to see someone helped him achieve it.
When was that announced? It only says something about a discount.

According to this page, it's only a discount for the Wii U edition. There supposedly will not be a 3DS version. @Chary might want to fix that.

Awww man, Figured as much. I just hope the developer can circumvent what's preventing him from a 3ds port. 3DS needs more Metroid-vanias.
