“Boy, 3D is here to stay; it is not a fad, and speed the day that we get big screen TVs, and theaters with glasses free 3D like that. Nintendo got everything right on that little device. And they deserve to sell a gazillion of them. I want the first one off the line. And boy I hope I get a chance to develop for it someday. I mean literately, I came away from that feeling like I had just experienced some Disney magic. And I’ve been telling everybody who’ll listen it’s like the coolest thing ever, it’s unbelievable. I absolutely fell in love with the thing.” – Warren Spector

Warren Spector sounds like one of the 3DS’ biggest fans. Just a few days ago he was talking about how it changed his life! So…How about Epic Mickey 2 on the 3DS?

“I played the online mode recently and it’s still clunky, so we’ve got two guys working very hard to get it perfect.” – EA Sports creative director Trey Smith

Hmm…I’m not too sure how I feel about this. Of course, I’d love to see the game contain online functionality, but if it doesn’t work like it should, I don’t know if it’s worth including. It’d be nice if EA could work out all issues before release, though that’s easier said than done.

Game Info:

System: Nintendo DS
Category: RPG
Players: 1-4
Release date: July 11, 2010
Developer: Level-5/Square Enix
Publisher: Nintendo

Dragon Quest has always been a huge hit in Japan, but has never quite managed to capture the same attention elsewhere. It seems more likely, in comparison to past DQ games that the release of Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies will lead to greater worldwide success. Never before has a primary Dragon Quest game been released on a handheld – in fact, it is designed for the best-selling portable video game console of all time. Moreover, the title features a mix of classic role-playing gameplay as well as a few new additions and modifications that make this particular title a worthy addition to the series.

Last week, Capcom unveiled Mega Man Universe for the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. But apparently that isn’t the only important news about the series this year. Keiji Inafune, speaking at a Comic-Con panel a short while ago, stated that there are more Mega Man revelations on the way. According to Inafune, additional announcements are imminent, one of which was described as “an oft-requested thing.” If any of these announcements happen to be Nintendo-related, we’ll certainly let you know.
