3DS design talk from the latest Iwata Asks – 12 initial models, layers explained, and more
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Iwata: About how many designers were involved with design of the Nintendo 3DS system?
Miyatake: Including everyone who worked on accessories like the charging cradle, stylus, card case and artwork for items like the packaging and operations manual, there were seven.
Miyatake: I remember that first presentation very well. We thought up six proposals ranging from models similar to previous Nintendo DS systems to ones that were completely different in design, and two types of each, so we prepared a total of 12 models. We thought we had prepared a very comprehensive presentation, but in the end, all six proposals got rejected.

More 3DS talk from High Voltage, Conduit may not remain Nintendo-exclusive
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
This information comes from High Voltage Art Director Matt Corso…
“Our company has never been 100 per cent dedicated to the Wii platform. We’ve always made games for all systems. As far as The Conduit goes, that can definitely come onto a different Nintendo system right now. It’s something we’re really considering. Sure, we’re looking at 3DS. DS is definitely a strong possibility because it’s an awesome new system.”
Corso was then asked about the PlayStation Move controller, indicating that Conduit could be released for other platforms…
“Well, as far as bringing it onto other consoles goes, that’s always a possibility as well. It’s something we continually discuss in our offices.”
Don’t be confused by the wording in the first set of quotes. Conduit is definitely heading to the 3DS, and I’m quite sure that Mr. Corso was asked about the possibility prior to the official confirmation.
High Voltage confirms work on Conduit 3DS, in talks with SEGA for publishing
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
This information comes from High Voltage chief creative officer Eric Nofsinger…
“Now that we’re winding things down a lot of our resources are on pulling this technology over to 3DS. We are very much pulling over this engine and this technology on this new hardware. [The results are] very good. We’re still early. The resolution is definitely lower, but the screen real estate is smaller so it balances out. We’ve not had a lot of severe optimisation yet, but we’re going to be able to have something very close to this [Conduit 2] on the 3DS probably by GDC. We’ve got environments from this already up and running around. You can shoot, you can select different weapons and you can see enemies. It runs pretty darn well with full 3D and everything. I would guess that SEGA will be interested. I had a nice conversation just yesterday with their head of artist and repertoire. At DICE, the conference in Vegas that’s coming up, we’ll probably have some more chats. We’re very excited about that [3DS friend code] system and what we’re going to be be able to do on it. The work we’ve done with the Wii, we’re going to have a serious leg up. It’s quite different than developing for the DS and the DSi. Developers like us that have more of a console experience on GameCube and on Wii are going to be able to take advantage of the 3D better and they’re going to be able to do a little bit more with the hardware than people who are coming at it from the straight DS angle and used to doing more 2D, or very limited 3D, kinds of things. There’s nothing like it at all [on 3DS]. We can be a shining star on this.”
After all of those hints, it’s nice to finally receive a confirmation! Keep in mind, though, that this isn’t an actual retail project just yet. SEGA hasn’t approved of the title, but I’m sure they will eventually.
