This information comes from the latest edition of Iwata Asks for the DSi…

“People throw out ideas one after the other. Like, since there’s a camera, we could do video calls. If I remember correctly, I told everyone early on that we could only implement two or three of the ideas being discussed by the release date, so some needed to be weeded out.” – Satoru Iwata

I wonder if it’s possible that we could see video calls down the line. After all, it’s possible that software can be downloaded from the DSi Shop.

Hudson plans to support DSiWare, discusses lack of death match mode in Onslaught

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 2 Comments

“This was a specific design decision. Hudson’s core design philosophy prohibits explicit violence between people playing a game. I know what you’re thinking: what about Bomberman? Well, that’s because he’s a cute little cartoon character and technically, if you go way back in his history, he’s a robot. In Onslaught, it would be people shooting each other in the face with guns, which goes against our philosophy. If we could have done deathmatch in this game, we would have, and I guarantee you I’d be having a blast playing it online against you.” – Amar Gavhane, the associate brand manager over at Hudson

“[On DSiWare titles] Now, as far as which ones, that’s still TBD.” – Amar Gavhane, the associate brand manager over at Hudson
