Reggie says Nintendo will recommend that young children not look at 3DS images, assauges battery concerns

Update: Added a few more details below.
“[The 3Ds] no health issues. We are working with the experts in the field. We’ve done extensive testing. We have a legacy of bringing only the best and finest products to the marketplace. We will recommend that very young children not look at 3D images. That’s because, [in] young children, the muscles for the eyes are not fully formed… This is the same messaging that the industry is putting out with 3D movies, so it is a standard protocol. We have the same type of messaging for the [1990s Nintendo virtual reality machine] Virtual Boy, as an example.” – Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime
“Has there ever been a Nintendo handheld without a good battery life?” – Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime
According to Reggie, the “young children” label applies to kids younger than seven. But the nice thing about the 3DS is that you can use the 3DS Depth Slider to completely turn off the 3D effect. So, everyone should be able to play the 3DS in some form!
– Form factor of the 3DS shouldn’t be considered final
– Nintendo plans to manufacture the extendable stylus at E3
– Nintendo still deciding if 3DS will be region locked
James Bond insider: GoldenEye 007 Wii needs to be ground-breaking
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
“There are massive expectations which are both worrying and exciting for us, and we know that this game has to be as innovative and ground-breaking as that first title was.” – Bond franchise insider David G Wilson
A lot of gamers have classic memories with the N64 game that you don’t want to mess with. The developers will have to find the right balance of remaking certain parts of the game and keeping portions of the original title in tact.

Iwata: No immediate need to replace Wii

“I do not think that there is an immediate need to replace the Wii console. But of course, at some point in the future, the need will arise. We currently do not have an answer as to what point in the future that need will come.” – Satoru Iwata
Just if I had to guess, I don’t think we’ll see a Wii successor for at least two years. I don’t think Nintendo would want to take away anything from the 3DS!

Maybe this is just me, but I think people are making too big a deal out of this. Nintendo is probably just messing around with Mother fans!
Shantae: Risky’s Revenge complete, game will be released soon
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 4 Comments
Good news, Shantae fans! It’s been a long time coming, but the next game in the series should be available very soon. The game still needs to be submitted to Nintendo, so it’s unclear when the game will be released or how much it’ll cost. With that said, Risky’s Revenge is now complete and WayForward is hoping we’ll see the game on DSiWare sometime in the next few weeks.
Thanks to Robert for the tip!
Activision impressed with the 3DS
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
“…I was particularly impressed by the 3DS, and it got a great reception. It’s a brilliant product. Nintendo’s figured out the glasses–or the lack thereof–are key. The integration of the 3D camera was a brilliant move. And if they also address the piracy issues they have and upgrade the copyright protection system, I think it’s going to be a big success and draw publisher interest to put more resources against publishing a game in this platform.” – Activision chief operating officer Thomas Tippl
I was really surprised by the reaction to the 3DS. Just because it’s 3D, I expected quite a few people to be underwhelmed by that. Overall, though, the impressions were very positive.
Thanks to Anders for the tip!
