Another piece of good news coming from Cindy Gordon, vice-president of corporate affairs at Nintendo of America, concerns the digital release of Wii U and 3DS games. Apparently there are plans to make “every” title for both platforms available through both digital and retail means.

This is something that Nintendo has discussed in the past, but another confirmation is welcome.

Gordon said:

“What we said is that every game for the Wii U, and this is true for the Nintendo 3DS too, will be available in both packaged as well as digital. It’s really about choice. What I remember as a parent, I prefer the download because I won’t lose the disk. But some people thrive on [having the physical game], to each his own.”

Before Nintendo’s E3 2012 media briefing kicked off, a rumor surfaced from Nikkei suggesting that a new 3DS model with a bigger screen would be introduced. Obviously that didn’t happen, but quite a few gaming enthusiasts believe it’s inevitable.

However, when Shigeru Miyamoto was presented with Nikkei’s “3DS XL” rumor, he hinted that a makeover may not be in the cards. That’s because Miyamoto is “satisfied with the 3DS hardware as it is.” Instead, it seems as though Nintendo will be shifting its attention to the handheld’s successor.

Miyamoto told IGN:

“I really feel like I’m satisfied with the 3DS hardware as it is. I feel like it’s the best for this generation. What we’re thinking about right now is probably going to be for a future generation of handheld.”

As much as we love Ubisoft, some of their decisions have been baffling. Case in point: Rayman Origins 3DS.

The game was pushed back once again in North America last week, but not to improve its quality. Ubisoft was simply waiting for the right time to launch the title so that it could promote another upcoming product, Rayman Legends.

Rayman Origins’s delay only applies to the US. European consumers can actually run out and purchase the game right now.

The situation doesn’t make much sense, but it is what it is.
