3DS

Nikoli no Sudoku 3D will be released in Japan on March 31 for 3,990 yen.


This information comes from the latest Iwata Asks…

“Right. It’s compatible with software for previous Nintendo DS systems, which will be viewed in the 2D mode. New game cards, however, will be specific to Nintendo 3DS, but whether they will be in 3D or not is basically up to the maker, just like how much to use the touchscreen was up to developers for Nintendo DS.” – Shigeru Miyamoto

So far, we haven’t seen any title that doesn’t use 3D. It goes without saying that a very small percentage of games developed for the 3DS will only support the 2D mode. Still, it’s nice to have the option available.

Once again, this information comes from the latest Iwata Asks. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, Shigeru Miyamoto, and Shigesato Itoi.

Miyamoto: But Iwata-san also wants to include 3D video in the future! (laughs)

Iwata: I think it will be fun if we’re able to include video recording capabilities with future updates.

Itoi: I have no idea, but when you take 3D photos and videos, is there some kind of capacity limit?

Iwata: An SD card goes in this slot.

Itoi: Oh, an SD card! Like two gigabytes?

Iwata: It comes with a 2-gigabyte card, but you can, for example, use a 32-gigabyte one as well.

Itoi: Oh, okay, I see. So you seriously can take as many as you want.

Iwata: Yes. Long videos, lots of photos, they’ll fit.

Famitsu’s preview didn’t seem to specifically mention worldwide online matches, but it would have been odd if the feature was not supported. At least we have a confirmation now!
