Given that rumours regarding Pokemon Stars have been popping up for past months it seems that it might be in development for 3DS instead of Nintendo Switch. This placed it as Nintendo's worst-selling console of all time. For the majority of aficionados, this ought to be all they need. Even more important than these will be the online connection itself, as Nintendo has had mixed reception towards their past online.
Nintendo's current fiscal year (FY2018) kicked off on April 1st and runs till March 31, 2018. It's the first third party release that can really make an impact on the console, at least on the Japanese market.
The good news for Nintendo 3DS players of "Monster Hunter XX" is very advantageous for them. Without more information no definitive statements can be made yet on whether or not Nintendo will succeed with their online plan, yet fans are hopeful their ideas will come to fruition in a way that makes the Switch offer the full package of great experiences.
