Professor Ryuta Kawashima has revealed that a new Brain Age game is in the works. Concrete details about the project have yet to be shared, however. He hasn’t been given the go-ahead to speak about the title, and the only piece of information Kawashima divulged is that it’s scheduled to be released in 2010.

Even with that bit of news in mind, it’s still possible that the game will end up on the 3DS. At first, the system was on track to be released in Japan this year, so Kawashima may have been unaware of the 3DS’s new launch date.

Well, you guys should know my stance on retailer listings at this point. Really, it’s just a listing! Until Nintendo announces something, I won’t believe anything else I hear.

Game developer Marvelous Entertainment has said in a recent investor Q&A that they expect 3DS development costs to be much higher than current DS costs, with the prices ranging anywhere from ¥70 million ($840,000) and ¥100-150 million ($1.2 to $1.8 million), depending on the game. As Gamesutra reports, DS costs currently are around ¥4.4 million ($53,000) on the low end and ¥44 million ($527,000) for a standard DS title. For Marvelous, Wii budgets are estimated at ¥2 million ($24,000) to ¥116 million ($1.4 million). This means that some 3DS games could cost around as much to develop as Wii games, and in some cases as much as higher end consoles.

No word on how true this is, but is it just an estimate from a developer. We’ll keep tabs on any other info we may get!

The heroine’s name is no longer Lilly. That was actually just a placeholder name. Her real name is “エアロ,” which may end up as Aero in English.

This information comes from Reggie Fils-Aime…

“As a consumer, I have experience with every Nintendo platform and, I think every accessory, including the Superscope, with the exception of the Virtual Boy… so it’s difficult for me to articulate a point of view back to our parent company [in Japan] why we absolutely have to have a Virtual Boy store.”

I think it would be interesting to have Virtual Boy titles on the 3DS, but it wouldn’t bother me too much if it never happened. I’d much rather see Game Boy Advance titles pop up on the handheld!
