Yeah, 3DS feels like a platform that had some potential left. Never quite got where the DS ended up in my eyes, at the very top of the handheld pantheon. The platform simply was very different to its predecessor, even if one would assume otherwise given the iterative nature of it. Switch passed 3DS for me personally in 2019, with games like Astral Chain, Fire Emblem Three Houses et al. The platform simply became a lot more attractive and its line-up so much more varied than the 3DS' ever was in my eyes. While 3DS has the bonus of having more games in certain franchises (Fire Emblem, Monster Hunter e.g.), the quality of the Switch versions is easily on par with the best 3DS games or looks to reach those heights in Monter Hunter Rise's case.
So, yeah, Switch > 3DS as the tldr version, haha. It's even coming close to my personal favourite of all time, the DS. Still a bit to go, though.
Yeah, while I feel sorry for Capcom having to endure that shitty leak, I'm glad we know G Rank's coming. I wasn't sure whether to expect it or not tbh, even if Rise did well.
