The games above were included as part of a sizzle reel of old-school titles at E3, hinting that they would be coming over to the 3DS. I’m not sure why it took so long to find out about this (and why Nintendo hasn’t shared a video of this as well as other 3DS trailers), but that’s besides the point!

In any case, Reggie has confirmed that the games will be brought over to the system. The thing is, they might be more than just simple ports. You may remember that Shigeru Miyamoto stated that with the Ocarina of Time remake, the developers are looking to take advantage of the 3DS’ features and 3D effect. So it’s possible that the classic games listed above may receive similar treatment.

Naturally, one of the first things you might think of when hearing about this is that Nintendo might be planning some sort of 3DS Virtual Console/3DS service. That seems likely based on the Japanese trademarks discovered several weeks ago, but we’ll have on that until Nintendo provides an official announcement.

GoldenEye also in the works for DS

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments

This information comes from n-Space’s Facebook page…

“One parting announcement… at E3 this year Activision and Nintendo announced Goldeneye as a Wii exclusive. Not quite. We’re happy to confirm that a DS version is in the works at n-Space. More on this next week!”

This doesn’t come as a surprise, as there were rumors that n-Space was working on a DS version prior to E3. Also, a logo for a DS version was found on the game’s official website prior to today’s confirmation. Screenshots/footage haven’t been released yet, but stay tuned!

Rumor: 3DS can record 3D footage

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors | 6 Comments

As was revealed earlier this week, the 3DS can take 3D photos thanks to two outer cameras. However, no one has really brought up the idea of recording 3D footage on the system. So, is it possible? Well, according to a Nnooo programmer, there was a demo at E3 showing off that very feature.

“We also saw this tech demo that used the camera which actually recorded 3D, so that was something that Nintendo didn’t confirm, so hopefully they confirm it. But from what I saw, it actually recorded footage in 3D. So that tech demo was really good…”

I assume Nnooo knows what they’re talking about, but like he said, it has yet to be officially confirmed. The ability to record 3D footage could be a huge selling point for Nintendo, so let’s hope they integrate it into the system.

Reggie says Nintendo will recommend that young children not look at 3DS images, assauges battery concerns

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment

Update: Added a few more details below.

“[The 3Ds] no health issues. We are working with the experts in the field. We’ve done extensive testing. We have a legacy of bringing only the best and finest products to the marketplace. We will recommend that very young children not look at 3D images. That’s because, [in] young children, the muscles for the eyes are not fully formed… This is the same messaging that the industry is putting out with 3D movies, so it is a standard protocol. We have the same type of messaging for the [1990s Nintendo virtual reality machine] Virtual Boy, as an example.” – Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime

“Has there ever been a Nintendo handheld without a good battery life?” – Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime

According to Reggie, the “young children” label applies to kids younger than seven. But the nice thing about the 3DS is that you can use the 3DS Depth Slider to completely turn off the 3D effect. So, everyone should be able to play the 3DS in some form!

– Form factor of the 3DS shouldn’t be considered final
– Nintendo plans to manufacture the extendable stylus at E3
– Nintendo still deciding if 3DS will be region locked
