Nintendo UK – built-in software is 3DS’ killer app, Mario Kart 3DS/Ocarina of Time 3D release date talk
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Nintendo UK marketing manager James Honeywell on the 3DS’ killer app…
“I actually think that the killer app is the software that is built into the console. With the AR games, the Mii maker, the quests and the ability to swap Miis, those are the killer apps and people should take the time to have a go on those. I’m sure they’ll be surprised at the level of depth and ingenuity that is already there.”
Honeywell on Mario Kart 3DS’ release date…
“That’s certainly what we’re kind of planning on at the moment (2011 release), but you know, things can always change, and until we actually make a firm announcement about the release dates, obviously it’s good to wait and see what those dates might be.”
Honeywell on a release date for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D…
“I know from personal experience of being on the sampling tours that the game everyone ran to was Zelda, to get their first experience of it in 3D, so we know it’s hotly anticipated, and hopefully we’ll be making an announcement fairly soon so people will be able to find out when they’ll be able to go and get it.”
Satoru Iwata said that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D will be arriving in June. He was most likely referring to the North American release date, but I’m sure that means it’ll launch in Europe around the same time as well.

Cave Story 3D releasing on June 28
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
When Nicalis and NISA announced Cave Story 3D, the two companies promised that the game would be released within the 3DS’ launch window. Fortunately, they are holding true to that promise. According to Siliconera, Cave Story 3D will be available on June 28. June could be a stellar month for the 3DS between Cave Story 3D, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, and Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D which are all expected to ship within a few weeks of each other.

Reggie not ready to discuss new 3DS model
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
This information comes from Reggie Fils-Aime…
“It’s interesting. We haven’t even sold the first one and consumers are asking about what’s next. I answer it this way. The 3DS is our key handheld device. It is going to be our key business driver for the balance of this year, through the holidays.”
I’d be shocked if we didn’t see another version of the 3DS somewhere down the line. Personally, I’d like to see better battery life and moving the stylus area so that it’s positioned like the DSi. It’s definitely too early to be talking about this, though…
