You can check out all of the details from the event below.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D

– Ocarina of Time 3D is an improved version
– Original game ran at 20 FPS, this version runs at 30 FPS
– Another confirmation of Boss Mode, Master Quest with everything in reverse (mirror mode) and enemies appear/move in different ways
Star Fox 64 3D
– Star Fox 64 development complete
– Will be called by the same title in all countries (indicates no more Lylat Wars)
Super Mario 3D
– Under intensive development
– Combination of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy and New Super Mario Bros
– Full reveal at E3
– Fixed camera system
– The camera system is somewhat like the one in Super Mario 64
– Camera doesn’t move and Mario walks around on the screen
– You will really feel the depth according to Miyamoto
– This method brings dynamism to the staging of the game
– Game mechanics will impress and entertain
– Tail in the Super Mario 3D logo is a raccoon tail
Mario Kart 3DS

Miyamoto’s 3DS game idea
– Nintendo experimenting with several new 3D concepts
– Miyamoto testing a game in which the player must discover which object is being displayed by moving it in different ways, in order to see the different facets
– An object that looked like something could prove to be completely different after all
– Miyamoto wants to use 3D to make the players feel surprised
Another game idea
– Nintendo is also testing a game in which an image is only visible to the left eye
– Another image is only visible to the right eye
– Concept could be used for a ghost game
– Player would not necessarily see what is coming in front of him
– Miyamoto loves ghost stories
3DS controller
– Nintendo thinking about potential connectivity between the 3DS and the company’s next home console
– 3DS could be used as a controller
– Nintendo testing many ideas
