>>57222700They never thought the Switch was gonna take off and were hoping to keep developing for 3DS. They weren't ready for the Switch's success. Once there was all this backlash at LGPE, remember Ishihara made an emergency announcement that "yes a new mainline Switch game is coming".
3D development was hard enough for them, but HD? They werent ready and it shows lol. At least they got some experience with the past two games and are seemingly waiting before rushing into a new game but still, it feels like they're not ready for yet another increase in graphical integrity even if the jump should be less drastic
