This information comes from Satoru Iwata…

“I now regret that we didn’t tie up with someone outside the company to market the Wii. If we had done that, the fate of the Wii might have been different. Now I am aware that we should not rely too much on ourselves. You will see what I mean by this when we market the 3DS and the Wii in the future.”

Iwata’s statements are somewhat vague… so that makes things a bit confusing! Some people believe that he was referring to working with third-parties to produce content for the Wii, though that isn’t entirely clear.

This information comes from XSEED’s Facebook account…

“The 3DS is a slick piece of hardware, we are definitely looking into some 3DS games that some quality developers are working on.”

XSEED gave the DS a fair amount of love. They also took some rather significant risks with games such as Retro Game Challenge. I’d love for them to continue that tradition with the 3DS by bringing over some of the more quirky titles from Japan.
