We don’t really know much about Kingdom Hearts 3D. A trailer was shown at E3, but it was never released online for all to see. Tetsuya Nomura has only shared a few details about the project – mainly that the game will feature all new Disney worlds. Thanks to issue 262 of Nintendo Power, though, more information has been revealed. Nomura told the magazine that the game’s story will be on par with the numbered titles and that the secret ending will contain “shocking statements and dialogue.”
“Kingdom Hearts III and Kingdom Hearts 3D are not the same. However, it is a brand-new adventure starring Sora and Riku. The story is on par with that of a numbered title, and I’m sure the ending will shock fans.”
Nomura also stated that the ending in Kingdom Hearts Re:coded relates to 3D:
“There is a hint regarding Kingdom Hearts 3D in the secret movie [of Re:coded]. Players will find out once they see for themselves, but the movie includes some shocking statements and dialogue that pertains to Kingdom Hearts 3D, so it’s definitely worth watching!”

3DS development kits have been in the hands of numerous companies for quite some time now. However, indie developers have yet to obtain their own kits. On the bright side, it seems as though they won’t have to wait much longer to get their hands on the system.
According to a “trusted source” close to Develop-Online, Nintendo will be handing out another round of development kits in early 2011 – more specifically, January. With that said, many independent and internal groups have started making titles for the handheld.

Miyamoto explains why coins made it into Super Mario Bros.
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Mario and coins essentially go hand in hand. Although one can argue that they aren’t the most crucial element to the series, the games certainly wouldn’t be the same without them. So, could you imagine coins being replaced with fruit?
Shigeru Miyamoto revealed that this was considered for Super Mario Bros. He explained in a recent edition of Iwata Asks that, although he believed fruit would have been a fine choice, players might run away from the fruit as a result of confusion. I suppose this makes sense, as a coin is an object that gamers would be more interested in collecting.
“Thus, when we were thinking about something that anybody would look at and go ‘I definitely want that!’, we thought, ‘Yep, it’s gotta be money.'”

Nintendo: 3DS will be one of 2011’s biggest landmarks
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
This information comes from Nintendo UK marketing manager Dawn Paine…
“We’re really relishing one of those big landmark moments. As you can imagine, we are deep in the planning and it is going to be another once-in-a-cycle launch. The difference is that there are other brands operating in that space – and we’re really excited about the positioning of the product and what it can achieve. It’s the world’s first mass-market, portable, 3D device, without glasses. Buried within that one sentence are some huge factors that will bring about big changes. It’s a great opportunity to explode 3D onto the wider marketplace.”
It’ll be very interesting to see how the 3DS is received compared to the DS. The situation is quite different this time around. Whereas there was much doubt about the DS when it was released to market, everyone is expecting the 3DS to be hugely successful.
