Iwata on first-party releases at launch, Western support, more
Last week, Satoru Iwata shared some interesting information about Zelda, 3DS system updates, and more at the company’s latest investor briefing. That wasn’t all the Nintendo president had to discusssed, though. Here’s what else he had to say:
– Nintendo believes the pack-in software for the 3DS is the equivalent of Wii Sports
– Nintendo is only releasing nintendogs + cats at launch to make way for third-parties
– Other software was finished before nintendogs + cats, but expect these titles to be released later
– Additional software hasn’t been announced, will be released this year
– Not as easy to get third-party support in the West because handhelds are downplayed
– Iwata feels that this importance will rise
– Nintendo will be looking to see how the West responds to 3DS and NGP
Thanks to Harry for the tip!
