Unity support for the New 3DS was just announced at the Unite 2015 Tokyo event in Japan. We don’t have any details just yet, but we’re trying to secure additional information!

Nintendo of America senior manager of marketing Damon Baker said last year that the company was “looking at” obtaining support for Unity on 3DS. There was some speculation that the engine was used for SpongeBob HeroPants, though nothing was ever confirmed.

Developers have been able to bring Unity-based games to Wii U since the console’s launch in 2012.

As part of today’s announcement for Project X Zone 2, Bandai Namco confirmed that the first game has sold over 400,000 units. That number likely accounts for sales across all regions. Project X Zone’s strong performance is likely the main reason why we’re getting the sequel!
