Nintendo UK on no second 3DS XL Circle Pad, lack of core titles a misconception, more
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments
A new interview with Nintendo UK marketing manager Ben Taylor has popped up online.
Taylor talked all about the 3DS XL, including why it was decided not to include a second Circle Pad. He also commented on the 3DS’ strong sales in Japan, said that those who say the system lacks core titles os a misconception, and once again relayed that you won’t see Mario – or any other Nintendo games – on other platforms like iTunes.
Head past the break for all of Taylor’s responses.
