3DS


Mario Open Tennis is one of the many 3DS games present at Nintendo’s GDC 2012 booth. You can find a control chart for the game above, and some off-screen footage here.


Update: Aaaaaand that’s it.

Super Mario 3D Land director Koichi Hayashida is speaking at GDC right now. I’ll keep this post updated with any quotes/tidbits/news throughout the event.

“We must strive to make others laugh with strange new ideas”

Mr. Hayashida is explaining all the trouble they went through to perfect the stereoscopic 3D in #SuperMario3D.

Mr. H is talking about how they used 3D illusions in #SuperMario3D

“It’s very important to let people play the game they want to.”

Satisfying both beginner and elite gamers is always challenging, which is why the first few worlds of #SuperMario3D were so easy!

“Enjoy everything!” – Mr. Hayashida

Super Mario 3D Land director Koichi Hayashida will be speaking at a GDC session called “Thinking in 3D: The Development of Super Mario 3D Land.” This will take place in about an hour’s time.

While I wouldn’t expect anything mindblowing – this isn’t an Iwata keynote after all – Nintendo of America will be tweeting live updates from the event. We may receive some development nuggets about 3D Land, and those could end up being very interesting!

You can follow Nintendo of America’s Twitter account here. We’ll be sure to post any tidbits from the session on the front page of the site as well.
