During the Q&A portion of Nintendo’s financial results briefing last week, one investor asked president Satoru Iwata if the 3DS and Wii U are improved versions of the DS and Wii. While this person believes the situation surrounding the 3DS will improve thanks to strong sales in Japan, he wondered if the system will “evolve to become something revolutionary and completely different from the Nintendo DS”. He asked a similar question about Wii U.

Iwata responded by saying that Nintendo can’t just throw away what they’ve done with their previous systems and start from scratch. He understood where the investor was coming from, but said “the Nintendo 3DS and the Wii U so that each of them is able to realize what has been impossible with the existing systems”. Moreover, he stated that these systems have been made “so that they can realize what has been impossible.”

You can find Iwata’s entire, lengthy response below.

Spanish video game site Blogocio was recently given an opportunity to speak with Jose M. Iñiguez, Akaoni Studio’s director. The company is currently working on Zombie Panic in Wonderland for the 3DS eShop and have started a new project.

The folks over at Blogocio provided Nintendo Everything with a short summary of their interview. Iñiguez discussed Zombie Panic in Wonderland 3DS, their new project, and Wii U.

The translation is slightly wonky, but it makes sense… for the most part!

Zombie Panic in Wonderland 3DS
– The port of Zombie Panic in Wonderland is going well.
– Nintendo Europe has been encouraging.
– They are very excited.
– Focusing on the project 100% now.
– Possibly arriving at Christmas.

New Project
– Now beginning a new project.
– They want it to be very striking visually.
– Platform not yet announced.
– It’s for PC at the conceptual level, but the developer is interested in the 3DS as a possible platform.

Wii U
– Don’t have a development kit.
– All Japanese developers who have spoken with them say it is full of surprises that will surprise people much more than what at first seems.

When it comes to full retail game downloads on Wii U and 3DS, Nintendo won’t be leaving third-parties out in the cold. The company has a program in the works for other publishers to take advantage of their digital options on both platforms. Unsurprisingly though, they’re keeping quiet on the specifics.

Nintendo provided the following statement regarding third-party downloads for Wii U and 3DS:

“We are currently preparing a program for third parties but have nothing specific to announce at this time.”

Kid Icarus fans without access to a 3DS/Nintendo Video can watch each anime directly on Nintendo Everything.

Thanks to 4Him for the tip.

Remember when Nicalis was quoted as saying that Wii U would be Nintendo’s most powerful console and would last five to ten years? As it turns out, that information was taken out of context.

Nicalis CEO Tyrone Rodridugez clarified his comments in a discussion with Destructoid, revealing the true intentions behind his statements.

He told the site:

“Sadly, the original quote was taken a bit out of context. Here’s exactly what I meant: for what we need, and maybe for other developers, the Wii U’s [capabilities] are more than sufficient for five to ten years. We’re not making AAA games or using a crazy insane 3D engine, but the Wii U can definitely do both. With that said, for what we are doing, we could work on the Wii U easily for another five years without making it break a sweat. We don’t do massive productions.”

I hope that Kirby’s Block Ball rating means the game will be released on the North American eShop this week…
