In 2015, the 3ds got an upgrade in the form of the New 3ds. Stupid name aside, it was an improvement to the 3ds in just about every way. While some games worked better if you played on it, it only ever got a handful of exclusive games. It offered SNES VC games and other digital games, but that was it. So just thinking about it, do you think the New 3ds did enough for what it was, or do you think they could've done more?
I feel it at least could've used a few more exclusive retail games. Its hard to say b/c I'm sure there would've been a bit of backlash if there was an exclusive Zelda game for it or something and probably would've split the audience, but that likely has to do w/ the fact that it came out midway of the 3ds's life. It's not like the Game Boy and Game Boy Color, where the Color came out almost 10 years after the original Game Boy, the New 3ds was only 4 years after the 3ds. But I think what they least they could have done was make certain games that notably run poorly on the original 3ds be New 3ds exclusive. Ones that come to mind were Hyrule Warriors Legends and Hey Pikmin, which were known to have performance problems on the original 3ds. But who knows, maybe there still would've been outrage to New 3ds exclusive games. I don't know, I just noticed how little exclusive titles there were on it despite being more capable hardware-wise.
