– Mode begins by moving your subs into enemy territory

– Map will be marked in pink and yellow to show areas that might have enemy ships as you approach
– Can use sonar to get a more precise idea of enemy position
– Your position will be shown if you do this

Manatee ND-01: Capable of firing torpedoes upwards.
Blue Shark ND-03: Can fire two torpedos. Also has control for changing angle.
Serpent ND-05: Has the most fire power, with four torpedos.

Miyamoto’s ambition for Mii characters

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

Once again, this information comes from the latest Iwata Asks…

Miyamoto: Yes. Simply put, I want to spread Mii characters all around the world.

Iwata: Right. (laughs)

Miyamoto: Exchanging it with people close to you is a given. Whether you use StreetPass or through the network, I want to implement Mii characters in all sorts of ways. Ultimately, I want Mii characters to be the world standard for avatars.

Iwata: That’s your ambition. (laughs)

This information comes from the latest Iwata Asks with Shigeru Miyamoto and Satoru Iwata…

Miyamoto: Well, basically speaking, over half of the built-in software was not planned by me from the beginning. Many people within the company suggested and researched many things, which made it happen in its current form.

Iwata: Oh, right. For example, in AR Games, you can add various objects to the real scenery seen through the camera. This will allow you to mix the virtual world with reality. And this is something members of the Entertainment Analysis & Development Department (EAD) have been working on for some time.

Miyamoto: Yes. It started off like their science fair project, for which we did not have any specific hardware to run. (laughs)
