Nintendo has commented on the gossip surrounding the recall of Wii U Basic Sets. An official statement states that the company is doing nothing more than “rebalancing stock” of the Wii U Basic and Premium Sets. Those who are interested in the console option “will continue to find them available.”

News surfaced last night that GameStop stores will need to return all Basic Set consoles on June 18. Nintendo’s statement suggests that there isn’t much to the recall, however.

All eShop demos come with a limit. For instance, you can only boot up the Project X Demo five times.

Who puts these limits in place? Nintendo won’t say, but an unnamed third-party publisher told Game Informer that the Big N initiates the requirement.

When it comes to official demo information from Nintendo, the only statement shared is as follows: “We don’t discuss our internal business practices.”

Zelda’s first original outing on the 3DS will run at 60 frames-per-secondd in both 2D and 3D.

In an interview with EDGE, Eiji Aonuma said that implementing 60 FPS as opposed to 30 FPS helps to maintain the 3D effect.

He said:

“The game runs at 60FPS, while all the 3D games up till now have run at 30fps. The faster the framerate, the more stable the 3D effect, so 60FPS is a big deal.”

Aonuma also mentioned that players won’t be forced to play in 3D if this is something they aren’t interested in:

“Well, there are players who don’t like 3D and always keep it switched off, so there’s nothing in the game that absolutely requires 3D, like puzzles that can’t be solved without it.”
