Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has admitted to investors that the 3DS is off to a slow start. It’s true that initial sales of the handheld were encouraging, though they’ve tailed off considerably since then.

Iwata believes that delaying development of certain software was to blame, as was the lack of online features. The Nintendo eShop launched just a few days ago.

Iwata explained that as more online features are readied and more significant titles are released, sales of the 3DS should pick up.

“So, first I think it’s fair to say that while Nintendo 3DS had a strong launch day, the results since then have not met our expectations.

By which I mean to say that although pre-orders for this system were very strong and initial impressions of this system were very positive, those early indicators stand in conflict with where the system is at today. So, I can’t say there are no issues at present.

In case you’ve already forgotten, the 3DS version is indeed being developed by n-Space! You might also be interested to know that the 3DS version will be rated “M” by the ESRB while the Wii version will be rated “T”. I wonder what type of violence sets the 3DS game apart…
