This information comes from Natsume’s VP of Operations, Graham Markay…

“I think Hiro’s [Natsume CEO] pretty excited about it. From a company standpoint, the 3DS looks innovative, it’s moving forward. Anything that’s shown and then it causes you to start thinking in your head how you can utilize it, or what you can make for it, I definitely think is something that excites us. So, uhh…we are actually looking into the 3DS, and who knows, maybe some announcements in the future… [Laughs] …Okay, that one’s an announcement (Harvest Moon)! So that one should probably come in the future. [Laughs] Moving forward, I can pretty much say that Natsume will be a definite supporter of the 3DS.”

At this point, it looks like Harvest Moon 3D won’t be a launch title for the 3DS, but you can expect it sometime after launch. Besides that title though, I’m sure we can expect a ton of other Natsume releases for the system – they’ve really supported the DS and it sounds like the company is fully on board with the Nintendo’s next handheld.

Update: Official PR here.

Rumors of a gold-colored Classic Controller Pro have surfaced a number of times, even before GoldenEye 007 was officially announced by Activision. Today, however, the company finally confirmed that it’s the real deal. For $69.99, consumers will be able to purchase a bundle, which will include a copy of GoldenEye 007 and the controller. A stand-alone release of the game itself will also be sold for $49.99, the typical price of Wii titles.

Nintendo’s internal sales figures show that the Wii™ video game system has now sold 30 million units in the United States alone. This significant milestone was reached in just 45 months.
