This information comes from Satoru Iwata, who was asked about Sony’s newly announced NGP…

“They’re trying to appeal to customers from a different direction than us. The customers will decide which is correct. Nintendo is not the kind of company that thinks about how we oppose other company’s product.”

Iwata also talked about the 3DS. Pre-orders in Japan are off to a good start, though Iwata is more interested in seeing continued sales rather than a “rocket start.” It was also revealed that a 3DS firmware update will be made available at the end of May to enhance wireless functionality and allow DSiWare transfers.

Lastly, regarding the possibility of putting original titles on non-Nintendo hardware, Iwata said “So long as I am CEO, it definitely will not happen.”

Tower of Pandora is the second random announcement Nintendo made earlier today. Unfortunately, not much (well, basically nothing I should say) information was shared about the title. The only thing we really know at the moment is that it is set to be released in the first half of 2011 in Japan. More information is expected to arrive in the near future, and you can check out the game’s official site here

Remember how Xenoblade and The Last Story were randomly announced last year? Well, Nintendo’s basically done the same thing again today. This new Kirby title was one of the new games announced at Nintendo’s investor briefing a short while ago. It actually looks quite similar to the GameCube Kirby title which was quietly cancelled!

Pokémon Global Link Extends Game Play Experience Online and Gives Trainers

New Ways to Communicate, Interact with Pokémon, and Earn Worldwide Ratings

BELLEVUE, WA – January 27th, 2011 – Players of Pokémon™ video games have always enjoyed communicating with others, and the newest Pokémon titles launching March 6th-Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version- will make it even easier to interact with fellow Pokémon Trainers from all over the world! The Pokémon Global Link web site, launching this spring after the new Pokémon video games hit shelves, will give players the ability to sync their game play from their Nintendo DS™ systems to PCs via the Internet, and access customizable web-only content, befriend additional Pokémon, communicate with fellow Pokémon Trainers, earn and view Worldwide Battle Ratings, and more. Pokémon Global Link offers a seamless play experience across both platforms-activities players do online will be reflected in their Nintendo DS games. Players will log onto Pokémon Global Link using their Pokémon Trainer Club accounts, which can be easily obtained for free at www.pokemon.com.

Pokémon Global Link features three main components that enhance the Pokémon video game experience online. The Pokémon Dream World features all-new ways to interact with Pokémon in a customizable web-only setting, featuring mini games and scenarios that enable Pokémon and items to be transferred back into the Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White Version video game. The Global Battle Union allows players to keep track of their battle record against other players around the world and provides players a Worldwide Rating and an opportunity to compete in live events. Pokémon Global Link will also house the Pokémon Global Trade Station, launching later this year, giving players the ability to track Pokémon trades all over the world.
