For one reason or another, Square Enix continues to yank these videos off YouTube, but we’ve got it right here for you. Additionally, you can check out a transcript of the secret talk after the break in the event we need to remove the video as well.

Iwata talks all about the 3DS (full quotes on price, date, auto updates and more), opinion on piracy, social games, 3G

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.
