Better graphics were a priority for Nintendo when making the 3DS

This information comes from Nintendo Power…
“Yes, definitely [improved graphics were a priority]. We wanted to do things that were not possible on the previous handheld. For example, I’m developing Nintendogs + Cats, and I really wanted to realize the sense of fur on the pets.” – Hideki Konno
Honestly, I was shocked when Kid Icarus: Uprising was revealed. I couldn’t believe that it was running on the 3DS. Aside from Uprising, though, there are equally impressive games on the way like Resident Evil: Revelations. Capcom even stated that the trailer they released a few months ago was running in real time.
Aonuma discusses Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time 3D, thinks he’ll have to work on another franchise eventually, more

Eiji Aonuma on the significant of Skyward Sword’s title and how it relates to the original piece of artwork…
“Did you happen to watch the trailer? That last scene where Link dives off the big cliff and goes flying through the clouds is a key hint as to the connection between the game and the Skyward Sword title.
Link lives on Skyloft, a series of floating islands that are above the clouds. He’s a normal kid living up on these islands above the clouds, but then an incident occurs and Link is forced to travel to the land beneath the clouds. This other world below the clouds has been captured and is being ruled by evil forces. So he has to go down there and start his adventure. The juxtapositon between the two worlds is very important.
What leads Link on this adventure is the Skyward Sword and when that Sword is actively guiding Link, it actually transforms into a feminine figure. I wouldn’t say that it’s female per se but it’s a feminine figure.”
Ubisoft dev believes Nintendo will release new console first

This information comes from Scott Pilgrim Vs The World game designer Jonathan Lavigne…
“If consumers are willing to embrace new technology then for sure we’ll see a new batch of consoles, but we’re more likely to see that in the form of peripherals like Kinect on Xbox 360 and Move on PS3 rather in a whole new console. We’ll probably see Nintendo have the first real new console because they’ve really lasted a long time on refurbished Gamecubes with the Wii.”
It’s very possible that we’ll see Nintendo introduce their next home console before other companies. However, I don’t think we’ll see it until 2012 at the earliest. Next year Nintendo will be concentrating most of their efforts on the 3DS.

Destructoid having an exclusive third party Nintendo game reveal
Posted on 14 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
Looks like we have a good reason to pay closer attention to Destructoid.com in the coming days:
We don’t want to say too much, but I can assure you that this bit of news will be a total trip. We will have a critically acclaimed third-party Nintendo developer in the house to show off, for the first time, a brand-new game that is most likely going to be awesome. All their previous stuff has been, after all!
Hmm… I’m not entire sure what this could be! As the source post suggests, we could be looking at the BIT.TRIP FATE reveal, or maybe it could be something totally different! I really don’t know!
