I agree it's a horrible waste to keep supporting the 3ds all these years later even when their newest system is also a portable. I can't imagine playing something on that horrific low res screen in 2018 and people should be demanding better from nintendo.
You don't have to imagine it. You can just do it. I was playing a 3DS game last night and it's just fine. No reason to be so hyperbolic as if the screen res makes games unplayable.
The 3DS still sells incredibly well. The games still sell. This isn't difficult: the smart business move is to continue giving
some support to it. The dumb business movie is to purposefully kill it off. There is no arguing this. If it were the better financial decision, Nintendo would kill 3DS and stop making games for it.
But even with that, they're not putting Super Mario Galaxy 3 on the 3DS so it would be nice if people would calm their asses about this stuff. They put a compilation of WarioWare minigames. They're doing remakes of Luigi's Mansion and an old Mario & Luigi game. This is stuff that doesn't require the budget and manpower of a brand new game, most of which will go to the Switch. They're using the engines that were already used on Dark Moon and the previous 3DS Mario & Luigi remake.
You don't just press a button and magically make the same game appear on Switch. No, making two versions would require a larger budget and more manpower.
These publishes -- whether it is Atlus or Nintendo -- looked at this from a business decision. They look at the budget needed and the weigh where it would be most beneficial for them to put the game. They're not putting these games on 3DS blindly. They know what they're doing.
