Wondering why the 3DS lacks a second analog nub? Shigeru Miyamoto finally answered that very question during a recent press event in Paris. Miyamoto explained that Nintendo considered adding a second circle pad, though ultimately decided against it because they felt that it’s common to use your finger to play. In terms of camera control, Miyamoto believes that the system’s built-in gyoscope should be more effective than an additional circle pad.

The popular DSi application, Flipnote Studio, will soon be heading to the 3DS. Shigeru Miyamoto revealed that development is already underway on the 3DS version. Like the original program, Flipnote Studio will act as an animation tool and will be free of charge. Nintendo is hoping to include functionality so that users can exchange flipnotes with friends, though there is some concern that children may end up viewing inappropriate animations.

Shigeru Miyamoto on Nintendo’s lack of software output recently…

“I think 3DS is a unique entertainment tool – everyone can understand how it works. One of our next aims is: how do you convey this message? Because one has to play and experience [it]. We spent a lot of time developing 3DS, for games for the future, so from now on I think we’ll focus more on gaming and we are releasing lots of games this year.”

Miyamoto on his hopes for the eShop…

“Personally speaking, because it’s [for] 3DS, it’ll be 3DS-specific, unique and immediately suitable for 3DS. With downloadable games via eShop we will start to create meaningful and high-value games for 3DS specifically.”

Miyamoto explaining that he is open to Nintendo’s established franchises appearing on the eShop…

“I think if it’s meaningful for 3DS. For me it’s important that anyone can play, and that it’s easy and comfortable for anyone – it’s not forcing a game into the hardware itself.”

Miyamoto on the one game he would most like to see remade for 3DS…

“I think A Link To The Past. Do you remember Xevious? It’s two-layered and I really wanted to create that at the time. So to see Link To The Past in two layers would be quite attractive for me.”

Other than the information above, Miyamoto also said that fans can look forward to more “remakes of games on 3DS as well”. That seems to imply that Ocarina of Time 3D and Star Fox 64 3D won’t be the only classic titles that Nintendo will bring over to the 3DS.

Some folks aren’t too happy with the idea that Capcom will essentially be changing fans a few dollars to download a demo of Mega Man Legends 3. If you want to see the full game down the line, though, then you may want to show your support by purchasing Prototype Version. While director Masakazu Eguchi didn’t say anything about sales explicitly, he did indicate that the “heat and excitement surrounding this downloadable title would determine whether or not the full game could be greenlit.” I’m sure Capcom would be inclined to finish the full game if they see encouraging sales for Prototype Version.

“Furthermore, the heat and excitement surrounding this downloadable title would determine whether or not the full game could be greenlit. If hype is strong, the full title will be a go. If not, it’s a no-go. I don’t even want to think about that outcome!”
