3DS

The first round of Nintendo-related Rayman Origins rumors indicated that the title would eventually be revealed for the Wii and DS. While the former is all but confirmed, we haven’t heard anything official about a possible portable version.

At this point, it’s unlikely that the game will arrive on Nintendo’s previous handheld system. But what about the 3DS? A CV from Ubisoft Casablanca’s Mark Arif Yassine Ancheta hints that an announcement could be on the way.

Google shows that Ancheta’s “DoYouBuzz” page once contained the phrase “Portage de Rayman Origins sur 3DS”. His profile has been updated and the listing has been removed, but it was definitely there at one point. In any case, that sure sounds like a 3DS port/version to me!


Nintendo’s E3 2011 presentation is just under two weeks away. That makes today the perfect time for some predictions! Eiji Maeda, senior analyst for SMBC shared the following comments with Famitsu regarding Project Cafe and the 3DS:

“Nintendo is definitely the company attracting the most attention at E3 this year, their Wii successor in particular. The Wii was a success because of the make-people-smile aspect of it that is such a key part of Nintendo’s goals, so it’s likely the new system will follow similar lines. Networking and online communication has become a vital part of any home system, and I think they will offer some kind of new service related to that. The Wii presented a comparatively large number of hurdles to getting online, and I think Nintendo will try to up the percentage of connected consoles with the new system.”

“Nintendo aims to sell 16 million 3DS systems in 2011, and they’re going to need to introduce titles that can bring them toward that goal. Some of the titles they’ve announced, like Mario, Mario Kart and Animal Crossing, will pretty much have to come out within this year, and the 3DS’s E3 presence will likely revolve around those titles. It’ll be a platform for Nintendo to re-emphasize the 3DS’s abilities.”
