EPTFrom a business and gaming standpoint, I can see why publishers would want to port WiiU games to the Switch. For older PC and 3DS games, I have to question that segment's need for certain ports and their irrational hatred of the 3DS. Some games (Etrian Odyssey Nexus/Persona Q2) wouldn't work for the Switch without a significant design of gameplay mechanics. Better to have a sequel or a spiritual successor designed from the ground up for the Switch rather than a port.

The 3DS isn't an option because the 3DS is a dead platform. The Switch is doing to the DS family that the DS did to the Gameboy line. With 2019, it's over. There's also the issue of power, a recent port in the case of Civilization 6(despite being 2+ years old) has "significantly exceeded expectations". The 3DS can't even hope to provide a platform that is able to do that and many are without an iOS device that can. As for the games you noted specifically, I'm not familiar with them, so I can't really speak to that desire or the difficulty of making it work. | ||

I wonder if three houses will hit it's spring 2019 launch time Nintendo said in their Financial Report they are still aiming for Spring 2019. Expect a June release date announcement. By biggest concern is that in the 25 months since announcement the only thing we have gotten was the E3 trailer. This game isnt being advertised, that's what got people into Awakening and Fates | ||

Sure it's slowed down and slowly stopping, but the 3DS is not a dead console like the wii u is. It still has first party titles coming up. | ||

I think the series sadly has more dating sim fans than strategy fans nowadays. | ||

It's not being advertised trust me. In all the FE groups I'm in with people from all over the world we have heard nothing apart from the E3 trailer last year. | ||

Hands down the best open world RPG I've ever played and that includes BotW. XenoX doesn't get near enough love. That game is a masterpiece. | ||

Great direct imo. Hyped for Link's Awakening remake. It was my first ever Zelda game so this is pure nostalgia. Fire Emblem looks decent, Astral Chain could be good. And aren't we getting the new Pokemon game in 2019 too? Another good year for Switch? | ||
