Nope, Go ahead, try to replace a system with 2 screens and a stylus and 3d with one that is one screen, no stylus and HD, use motion controls, stubby single joycons as 2 separate controllers, better wifi and horrible battery life. :creep:

Oh it did, the wii u game pad. :P

Also, they made pokemon games for consoles... :ninja:

3ds, nintendo already said no.
They also said DS wouldn't be a replacement of GBA (just to cover their ass in case it ended up a commercial failure)
They also said very clearly WiiU manufacturing would continue, but they changed idea next week

Of course, what I will do most likely won't be what the average market will do

Nintendo keeps saying no, but I think it is for sure. Switch will probably get revisions as time goes on as well...give it 2 years or so.

Sad times, consoles get revisions each 2 years, and yet fanboys bitch about how you need to upgrade your PC every 6 months to stay relevant.

To answer OP's question, no, it's not gonna replace the 3DS and WiiU, it's only replacing the WiiU.

XD and Colosseum are spinoffs.

GameFreak doesn't make the spinoffs games.

To Nintendo "No" means yes and yes means it comes at a price for example:

Nintendo said no the switch wouldn't replace the wiiu yet it's theit main console right now.
Nintendo also said yes there would be voice chat support but the price is having to use a separate device to actually use.

That wasn't my point, my point is pokemon games exist outside of portable games. Don't really care if gamefreak makes it or not, i don't play them anymore, and no one ever said switch was a successor to 3DS, is just a hybrid console (and direct response to wii u semi-failure)

Hybrid console = Home console + Handheld console ( WiiU + 3DS)

I thought the Switch had good battery life? I remember playing Zelda for 4 hours...

I don't think it will replace the 3DS. They've made it clear that the Switch is a home console with home console experiences. Plus, it's really big for a handheld.
I think they're going to announce a new handheld at some point with a clamshell design. Maybe in 2018 or 2019.
I voted yes since it's a yes for Wii U and a maybe for 3DS.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
