Iwata discusses the transition from DS to 3DS, Nintendo localizing Japanese titles
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News | 2 Comments
The quotes below come from Satoru Iwata, who provided the following information at a recent investor Q&A…
“We have not announced the prices of Nintendo 3DS in the overseas markets, but when you look at the suggested retail price of Nintendo 3DS in Japan, you can see that there are some price differences with that of Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi in Japan. How the market can change with such price differences shall become important.
We have experienced several transitions from one platform to a new generation in the past, but the speed at which such transitions were made greatly varied in different markets. Perhaps, the quickest of all the nations in this regard is Japan. In terms of speed, the U.K. is outstanding in Europe. On the contrary, Germany is very slow in this transition. In the U.S., so many people respond to new platforms quickly, but as for the entire video game market there, it appears to move rather slowly because there are also so many people who respond to new offers very slowly. The U.S. is a big market with such dual natures. Given the difference in the speeds at which each market shifts to a new platform, how Nintendo should spend what amount of energy in order to launch and market many new Nintendo DS software titles must be slightly different from market to market.

If October was a massive month for gaming, then November is an absolutely colossal, gargantuan, other-synonym-for-big month. Seriously, there are a ridiculous number of games releasing for Nintendo Wii and DS in November, but how many of them are actually worth your time and money? No idea, so here are all the ones I could be bothered to write about! Enjoy!
