Nintendo has nothing to say about 3DSWare, discusses DSiWare transfers
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News | 0 comments
Charlie Scibetta, Nintendo’s senior director of corporate communication, was recently asked if we’ll be seeing 3DSWare eventually . Unfortunately, he didn’t have much to say about adding such a service to the eShop.
“We have Virtual Console games. Anything that’s rendered in 3D, converted into 3D, is called 3D Classics, but we don’t have any other terminology yet.”
Scibetta also commented on bringing over DSiWare games to your 3DS…
“It’s not the number of transferred games — it would be the same game, the number of times you could transfer it from device to device. So if you build up a large category of DSiWare games, you won’t be penalized. Just how many times you can move that same group of games, there’ll be a limit on.”
Scibetta said that most of the games that can be downloaded on the DSi will be placed on the eShop as well. However, a few games will not be available.

Miyamoto, Iwata discuss Steel Diver’s development background
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News | 0 comments
This information comes from the latest Iwata Asks with Shigeru Miyamoto and Satoru Iwata…
Miyamoto: You’re right that the development time was very long, but its initial planning started off even long before the Nintendo DS demo-version was made. In short, I always wanted to make a flight-simulation game.
Miyamoto: I think one of the biggest charms of an action game is the ability to move the characters intuitively. Flight-simulation games, on the other hand, are fun because the game play is very logical. The fun is in simulating things moving around in your head.
Iwata: But that’s from your perspective as a player.
Miyamoto: Yes. I have an interest in both of them. They’re both enjoyable in their own right. Let’s compare it to F1 racing. One style of racing games is where it can make you feel like you can drive, turn and stop just like a professional racing driver. The other is that, by mastering the game, you can actually come closer to be a racing driver. Out of the two, this one is much tougher. Normally, people don’t like difficult things as a form of entertainment, but it has its charms because of that difficulty.
Miyamoto: That’s why I want to make a game where you can find enjoyment even in harsh conditions. But I have a tendency to quickly gravitate toward making games that are “fun right now.” (laughs)
