This information comes from Satoru Iwata…

“At first we thought it would be desirable to launch the 3DS within the year, so we made our forecasts on that basis. At this point it is clear that if we launch within the year, we will not be able to supply enough units.”

I was honestly shocked when Iwata stated that the 3DS wouldn’t be releasing in any territory this year. I was skeptical of a NA/European launch for 2010, but I was almost certain it would at least be out in Japan around November. It will feel strange not having the 3DS around for the holiday season, but at least more units will be available when the system launches and more developers have time to work on their projects.

This information comes from Wes Philips, Capcom’s manager of PR strategy…

“Our Nintendo 3DS lineup is ridiculously good. Mega Man Legends, Super Street Fighter IV and Resident Evil? No one is bringing it like us.”

I definitely feel like Capcom is one of the strongest supporters of the 3DS. Resident Evil: Revelations and Super Street Fighter IV 3D contributed to a fantastic start, but as we know, the company also announced a second Resident Evil title for the handheld as well as Mega Man Legends 3 earlier today. Personally, I can’t wait to see what the new Legends game looks like.

– 3DS to fix issues with the Wii and DSi shops
– 3DS shop will combine promotional and sales functionality
– Iwata compared this to combining the Wii Shop Channel and Nintendo Channel into one
– Improved shop interface for 3DS
– Quickly and smoothly switch between screens
– Store downloads on an SD card
– The 3DS come with a 2GB card, but you can use a larger card as well
– 4 categories of 3DS downloads: Virtual Console, Classic Games with New 3D Look, Nintendo DSiWare, Nintendo 3DS Software
– Virtual Console category starting off with Game Boy and Game Boy Color
– “Classic Games with a new 3D Look” category includes classic titles remade in 3D
– Namco Bandai had a 3D version of Xevious as an experiment for the Classic Games with a new 3D Look category
– DSiWare category: Download DSiWare titles like DSi/DSi LL owners can, transfer games over to the 3DS as well
– Last category most likely 3DSWare, but it has not been given that official name

“We’ve been doing download sales for the Wii and DSi, but there is room for improvement. We cannot say that the Wii Shopping Channel and Nintendo DSi Shop have provided users with a sufficiently easy and accessible interface, and we were not able to run optimal shops which have the ability to both promote and sell products in one place.”

“For any download business to grow, it must be important for consumers to be able to enjoy window shopping even when they do not have any particular product in mind. Quick and easy access to the shop is, therefore, very important.”

“To make the classic titles 3D will not be as easy as providing Virtual Console software, but we are eager to make them available for the download sales.”
