Putting these games on the 3DS was already moving them to a more popular platform to get them noticed. --- End quote --- Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition is already scheduled for a Spring 2018 release on Switch so there goes that idea. --- End quote --- I think the question is whether the game would see expanded success by being on the more popular home console, or if the return on the Switch port would be diminished because of the 3DS port. Essentially, has Nintendo already reached the game's potential audience by porting it once already? I would argue in the case of Smash, the answer is probably no. There's too much demand for that game on Switch. I don't about Hyrule Warriors, but without looking at the sales number for the previous versions, I think the demand for the Switch version won't be hurt significantly by the 3DS version having existed. |

Doesn't the 3DS version of Hyrule Warriors run extremely poorly without the NEW 3DS model? That would limit its appeal on 3DS. It's one reason why I didn't get that version and am waiting for the Switch version instead. |

So even though it was technically ported to the 3DS, I can see why Nintendo might feel the 3DS port was hurt because of how poorly the game ran on the non-New models which make up the majority of the 3DS userbase. The Switch will be a more popular system that can properly play the game along with all that extra content, which I can see why Nintendo would be willing to port it again. That's why I think Hyrule Warriors is kind of a special case since even though the 3DS version has more content, the gameplay is heavily watered down. For a series like Warriors, having less enemies and slower gameplay is kind of a big deal which is why even in Japan, the home console versions of these games have always outsold their handheld counterparts despite handhelds overall being way more popular. |

The fact remains that Nintendo has been padding Switch’s release schedule with expanded ports of Wii U games, and one of those ports also has a 3DS version. To paraphrase Occam’s Razor, the simplest solution with the fewest assumptions is usually the right one. There isn’t enough known right now to say one way or another for certain. However, based on Nintendo’s own behavior this generation, there’s very little reason to believe a Super Smash Bros. released on Switch by the end of this year would be a new game. |

There is no way they wouldn't have the Smash Bros. Hype machine rolling by now if there was a new game coming. |
