You can trade in almost any title to GameStop. However, there is a recent exception to this.

GameStop is not accepting any trade-ins for Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir. Of course, this means you can’t purchase a pre-owned copy from the retailer.

GameStop is taking this stance due to their concern over missing pages in the AR book. If any of its contents were to go missing, players would not be able to progress.

Nintendo achieved its goal with the Wii by bringing gaming to the masses. There were, however, some consumers who felt left out – specifically hardcore gamers.

This is something that Nintendo president Satoru Iwata admitted to during the company’s latest financial results briefing Q&A. Iwata also pointed out how they were unable to convince casual players to experience titles “frequently or for long, consistent periods”, leading to a poor level of profit.

With the 3DS and Wii U, Nintendo would like to promote both hardcore and casual experiences (described by Iwata as “deeper” and “wider”, something he mentioned at last year’s E3). According to Iwata, the “depth” component “was not satisfactory for some consumers”, and so they are working on this first.

There is some concern out there that publishers and developers will lose interest in making projects for dedicated gaming devices due to the rise of social games. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata believes this is true in some ways, but also feels “not all the internal developers have lost their passion to create consumer game software.” He explained that the company’s “new hardware offers new proposals and potentially new play experiences so that developers will be interested in this hardware and be motivated to make attractive software.”

Last week, Iwata told investors at Nintendo’s financial results briefing Q&A that third-parties are preparing to show software at E3 which will show support for dedicated gaming hardware. Moreover, he teased overseas 3DS announcements for the expo. Western studios haven’t provided a ton of support for the handheld.

Read on for Iwata’s full rundown of quotes. It includes an explanation as to why U.S./European publishers haven’t revealed as much 3DS content compared to Japanese companies.
