3DS

This information comes from Jools Watsham’s blog…

I am extremely proud to annouce that Renegade Kid was blessed with authorized developer status for the new super sleek and sexy Nintendo 3DS a couple of months ago. Apologies for the delay in letting everyone know, but we’ve been kinda busy digging into all of the 3DS goodness.”

Renegade Kid is one of the top DS developers, and so I’m sure they’ll maintain their high-quality of work to the 3DS. I’m very interested to see what the company has in store for Nintendo’s next handheld.

“[Gaijin Games] just recently got our 3DS dev kit, and we’re working on a 3DS project. But we’re not quite ready to say exactly what it is yet. It will be a Gaijin awesome game… it’s not totally decided, but we’ll probably go retail.” – Gaijin Games’ Alex Neuse

“The smart company would put [the game] out near launch, let’s put it that way.” – Gaijin Games’ Mike Roush

This is excellent news! Gaijin Games has brought a fantastic series, Bit.Trip, to WiiWare, and now I’m very interested to see what the company has in store for the 3DS.

Iwata on the launch date/price of the 3DS…

“First about the launch timing, when we made the original financial forecasts for this fiscal year, we thought that it would be desirable to launch Nintendo 3DS by the end of this calendar year and, with that as the premise, we made the financial forecasts and the plans. The developments are making progress, and we have been proceeding ahead in order to start mass production. By now, however, we have come to understand that, if we launched it this calendar year, it would be difficult to produce a sufficient amount. Also, in terms of the completion level of the product, we believe that it will reach the most satisfactory level by our standards if we will launch it on the date we just announced.


This information comes from Epic Games VP Mark Rein…

“No. It’s below our [minimum specifications], from what we can tell. We don’t have a 3DS, so there’s no way for us to verify that, but everything we’ve been led to believe is that it’s below our min-spec. You couldn’t do a game that looks like [Epic Citadel] on it, for example. Like I said, we really don’t know enough about it to make a formal comment, but I think if they considered that our engine would be good on it, they would have probably talked to us about it.”

This news is actually quite interesting, as prominent Epic Games developer Cliff Bleszinski recently expressed interest in the 3DS. Although, ultimately, Mark Rein and other administrative employees have the final say in terms of supporting the system.
