Following Nintendo’s Q1 2011 financial results, Nintendo and Satoru Iwata have just wrapped up an earnings briefing in Tokyo. Iwata spoke to investors about a number of topics, ranging from Wii U to salary cuts for the Nintendo president himself and other executives.

As you would expect, the 3DS was also discussed in great detail. Iwata touched on the the system’s new price point and one of the reasons behind the decision is actually quite interesting. Iwata explained that Nintendo felt that they missed out on an opportunity with the GameCube and didn’t want to make the same mistake with 3DS. That’s just one of a few explanations that were provided.

For more on the 3DS price drop and the briefing in general, read on below.

Following in the footsteps of ATV Wild Ride for the DS is ATV Wild Ride 3D. Renegade Kid has revealed the game today along with the first round of details. The title currently doesn’t have a publisher, but I imagine that won’t last too long!

Renegade Kid published the following information:

Introduction:
The debut of Renegade Kid’s original arcade ATV racing title for the Nintendo DS, ATV Wild Ride, was met with high praise from the gaming press – making it hands-down the best ATV racing title available for the platform.
Evolution:
The next exciting installment of this off-road thrill ride, ATV Wild Ride 3D, turns the dial up to 11 with more insane airborne tricks, dramatic panoramic vistas, exhilarating audio, and a brand new “Wild Ride” power-up; enabling players to reach new intense speeds – bringing the excitement of extreme ATV racing alive.
