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!

Really, I wouldn’t put much stock into this listing right now. It’s always best not to trust retailers until a company makes an official confirmation. That isn’t to say it won’t happen, but right now I’m doubtful.
