“Well, a couple of things. First, even with all that we revealed, we describe only the surface of product that’s coming out over the next, call it, nine months. So there is a lot of content coming on our systems, which is great. In terms of our strategy for this show, because we’re in such a fortunate position of having so much great content, and 99% of which is coming very quickly, we were in a very enviable position to be able to share it all, which is great.”

Pachter: Nintendo can sell millions of 3DS units with $250 price tag, game prices could increase

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News | 8 Comments

“We view the 3DS as a revolutionary device, and expect its launch to spur hardware and software sales. Due to the unique 3DS experience previewed by Nintendo at E3 this year, we believe Nintendo will be able to sell millions of units even at a price of upwards of $250. From a software perspective, we believe Nintendo will be able to increase DS software prices, from a blended average of around $25 today to over $29 next year.” – industry analyst Michael Pachter

Pachter also said that games themselves could see higher prices compared to what has been offered with the DS. This wouldn’t be too surprising – Satoru Iwata previously stated that development costs of some titles could approach Wii levels.

Aonuma excited about Ocarina of Time 3D, says 3DS is perfect for Zelda

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments

“I am excited. With the Nintendo 3DS, all of the new elements and the 3D technology is perfect for The Legend Of Zelda series. It’s everything from the depth that you get from riding through vistas or a more accurate sense of distance between you and the enemy you are fighting. I think it is perfect for this series. Of course we are very excited to see what it can do. Of course I look at what the development environment is like and one of the things that I want to take up further going forward is how playing in 3D effects things. Does it make you tired? Do you want to create a game where players are sitting in front of their systems for a long period of time? Obviously there are things that can be 3D but we don’t have to shoehorn it in. If it’s beneficial, of course, we’ll want to use it. So what I would like to do is to take a look at what other people are doing out there, see what the reaction is, then go back and figure out exactly what I want out of 3D.” – Eiji Aonuma

Even though I’m looking forward to projects like Kid Icarus: Uprising and Metal Gear Solid 3DS, I think Ocarina of Time 3D is my most anticipated title for the 3DS. After all, the N64 game is one of my favorite titles of all time! I can’t wait to see what it looks like in 3D.

Warren Spector loves the 3DS, hopes to make a title for the system

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment

“Boy, 3D is here to stay; it is not a fad, and speed the day that we get big screen TVs, and theaters with glasses free 3D like that. Nintendo got everything right on that little device. And they deserve to sell a gazillion of them. I want the first one off the line. And boy I hope I get a chance to develop for it someday. I mean literately, I came away from that feeling like I had just experienced some Disney magic. And I’ve been telling everybody who’ll listen it’s like the coolest thing ever, it’s unbelievable. I absolutely fell in love with the thing.” – Warren Spector

Warren Spector sounds like one of the 3DS’ biggest fans. Just a few days ago he was talking about how it changed his life! So…How about Epic Mickey 2 on the 3DS?
