“We have lots of ideas for a sequel, and would love to work on 3DS, but, as the game’s publisher, that is for Nintendo to decide. It’d certainly be interesting to see how the 3D effect would work when you’re tilting the device, and how we could detect that on the hardware.”

Man, Fluidity was a huge surprise for me. I thought the game had the potential to be entertaining, but I was hooked from the moment I started the demo. Of course, after playing that, I downloaded the full game and have enjoyed the heck out of it thus far. I’d love to see a sequel, whether it’s on WiiWare or 3DS!

How large will a 3DS game card be?

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

When the 3DS arrives next year, game cards will be able to hold two gigabytes of data. But future titles will apparently be able to hold much more than that. Macronix, the producer of current DS cards, has stated that projects developed following the launch of Nintendo’s upcoming portable will be capable of storing up to eight gigabytes. To compare, we’ve heard games on the DS using as much as four gigabits.

Nintendo adds new item to Club Nintendo Japan

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii | 0 comments

For 120 coins, you can order a red or blue suede pouche, which you can see above. According to Nintendo, you can place your Wiimote in the pouche, as well as your DS or 3DS (when it comes out, that is…). The red one turns “warm grey” while the blue one turns “cool gray.” In other words, the pouches are reversible.

Take-Two comments on 3DS

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

This information comes from Take-Two COO Karl Slatoff…

“Obviously we’re excited about the 3DS. We’re looking at what it can do for the consumer market… and the same holds true for Kinect.”

Well, we’ve seen Grand Theft Auto games on the last two Nintendo handhelds. However, everyone pretty much knows that Chinatown Wars failed to light up the sales charts. Will Take-Two/Rockstar take another risk on the 3DS?
