To be honest, The 3DS is one of my childhood friends. I got the very first one when it came out back in 2011. The first one I ever got was the small one, the very first one in production. Ever since then, I have gotten every model to date. (Excluding the 2DS and New 2DS XL.) The 3DS is a very fun system, and to be honest, I think the new games that they are making are a great idea! For example, Monster Hunter Stories. When I played the special demo version of the game, i was immediately hooked. Nintendo still knows how to make great spin-offs. When I first saw the game, I had no interest, as I don't really care about the Monster Hunter series in general. But that all changed when I played the demo. (To be perfectly honest, I'm still trying to get it.) Another great example is Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. When I first saw the trailer for the game, i was hyperventilating. I wanted it so bad! (Come to think of it, I still want it.) All to say, The 3DS is surely not dying, at least not to me. As for the DS games being updated, all I say is... BRING. BACK. WIFI CONNECTION!!! Pretty much everyone I know loved to play with the WiFi connection on both the Wii and the DS. When Nintendo cancelled it, I was furious. All to say, updating DS games would be fun, and very surprising. However, don't count on it. Nintendo will never do it. But it would still be fun to have. What do you guys think?
