This information comes from EA’s Ryan Stradling, who was speaking about the 3DS on Nintendo’s E3 site…

“Playing games is about playing with my friends, and I want to know when my other friends are online, and that’s going to give me the ability and it’s also going to let me know what games they’re playing, real-time updates that I can get via that, sports scores because I’m interested in sports, exchanging achievements with other players that are in 3D. When you look at the DS penetration rate, there’s going to be a lot of friends for me to go talk to and communicate with.”

I’m marking this as a rumor for now since Nintendo has yet to confirm this information outright. Also, the voice chat bit isn’t too clear at this point. Still, this news sounds exciting nonetheless.

“I could beat the Microsoft drum the whole time, or mention Deus Ex, I’m a big fan of that and it’s a genre that’s wide open. I dusted off my Wii for Mario Galaxy 2 and I’m hoping to keep the dust off it. But I think Nintendo’s back. Nintendo’s had an affair with everybody’s mom. They’ve come back to marriage of the Mario and Kirby and the Goldeneye fans, and for me that’s good to see because I dusted off my Wii for Mario Galaxy 2 and I’m hoping to keep the dust off it.”

Perhaps this is just me, but I don’t think Nintendo left in the first place! I never understand gamers who say they have to dust off their Wii…There have been so many titles that I’ve been interested in that I’ve had to be selective about which games I purchase.

This information comes from an Iwata Asks 3DS interview with Hideki Konno

“So if I play Nintendogs, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, and Pokemon, and if all these games support the new functionality, regardless of what game I’m playing, communication car occur for all of them.” – Satoru Iwata

Some people have already started speculating that Black/White will end up being a 3DS-enhanced game, but I’m not too sure about that. Personally, it seems like it was an offhand remark. Eventually, though, you’ll see Pokemon on the new handheld in some form.
