Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada was determined to maintain 60 FPS in Tekken 3D: Prime Edition. The development team was able to accomplish this, but it came at a price.
In an Iwata Asks interview, Harada said that 3D display won’t work during wireless play.
He said:
“In Tekken 3D: Prime Edition, the game supports 60 frames per second during wireless play, but stereoscopic 3D display is not supported.”

There’s a reason why Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure is getting a sequel. Activision announced today that the game is the company’s “biggest new IP launch in Activision’s history”.
Activision Blizzard Chief Executive Officer said:
“Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure™ was the biggest new IP launch in Activision’s history and it is on track to become an important and sustainable franchise.”
Activision also shared the following tidbit about Skylanders in their latest financial report:
“In North America and Europe, including accessory packs and figures, Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure was the #8 best-selling game in dollars for the fourth quarter of 2011 and #1 selling kids’ title in dollars in the calendar year. Additionally, in North America, including accessory packs and figures, Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure was the #10 best-selling title in dollars.”
A follow-up to Skylanders, Skylanders Giants, is set for release later this year.
