– Team Ninja head Yousuke Hayashi wasn’t told about the 3DS’ 3D when Nintendo showed him the hardware for the first time
– Hayashi believed the 3DS could handle a fighting game well
– After Hayashi learned about the 3D, he thought that aspect would make an even more amazing product
– Better to say that the game started with the desire to bring Dead or Alive to a handheld rather than make it 3D
– 3D development was a learning experience for Hayashi
– Hayashi feels that 3D is more about showing depth rather than having objects popping out of the screen: “It’s a method for showing things realistically.”
– More dynamic elements in stages (in reference to being able to run into objects, objects falling off cliffs)
– Team Ninja wants to start the Dead or Alive franchise again, Dimensions is a part of this
– Characters everyone expects will be in the game
– No release time frame yet
– Development progressing smoothly

“I’ve thought from before that there was great potential for fighting games played on a portable game machine. However, the reality was that there was no hardware that matched this. When I first saw the 3DS, I felt that with this performance, it could be done.”

At the end of the Tokyo Game Show last week, Destructoid was able to catch up with Nicalis’ Tyrone Rodriguez. Rodriguez had some interesting nuggets to share that he and Pixel – the creator of Cave Story – have discussed. It’s possible that additional Pixel games could head to consoles, Cave Story could wind up on new platforms, the WiiWare version could be tweaked, and there may even be something done with the Cave Story Beta. Currently, what was mentioned are nothing more than ideas at this point, but something could definitely happen in the future.

Keep in mind that the details below have not been confirmed. But apparently, an anonymous source who is familiar with the 3DS has provided IGN with the information below.

– Two 266MHz ARM11 CPUs
– 133MHz GPU
– 4MBs of dedicated VRAM
– 64MBs of RAM
– 1.5GBs of flash storage
– Some variation of the ARM11 processor (ARM11 powers the Zune HD, some Android smartphones, previous iPhone/iPod touch models)
– DMP’s PICA200 GPU, which has a maximum processing speed of 200MHz, has apparently been scaled back a bit for the 3DS
– Developers have compared graphics to current-generation consoles like the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but on smaller/lower-resolution screens
– 1.5GBs of flash memory (DSi has 256MBs)
– Expand total drive space with an SD card
