Iwata on the NGP, 3DS firmware update in May, more
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
This information comes from Satoru Iwata, who was asked about Sony’s newly announced NGP…
“They’re trying to appeal to customers from a different direction than us. The customers will decide which is correct. Nintendo is not the kind of company that thinks about how we oppose other company’s product.”
Iwata also talked about the 3DS. Pre-orders in Japan are off to a good start, though Iwata is more interested in seeing continued sales rather than a “rocket start.” It was also revealed that a 3DS firmware update will be made available at the end of May to enhance wireless functionality and allow DSiWare transfers.
Lastly, regarding the possibility of putting original titles on non-Nintendo hardware, Iwata said “So long as I am CEO, it definitely will not happen.”

Reggie: 3DS Game Coins encourage physical activity, StreetPass/SpotPass as well
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
“Nintendo has always been at the forefront of active gaming. Getting up, moving around. Obviously the Wii launched that. As you touched on, we’ve also done it with a number of handheld games. We had a game called Personal Training Walking that leveraged a pedometer. And obviously the most recent two Pokemon games leveraged a similar type of system. What [the Game Coins feature] does, it’s just another reason to encourage people to get up and walk around. Why? Because we want them to be carrying their Nintendo 3DS, going through Street Pass, Spot Pass types of activity. That’s how it all ties together.”
I have to admit that Game Coins is an interesting feature. I tend to carry my DS around in any case though, and I expect I’ll do the same with the 3DS.

Skip to around 30:50 to hear some talk (well, hints…) about Conduit heading to the 3DS. High Voltage has previously expressed interest in the system, so it can definitely happened. Nothing confirmed just yet, though.
