n-Space on the 3DS…
“The word most often used to describe the 3DS by those fortunate enough to experience it at E3 is ‘magical.’ We feel this is completely justified and that it’s a home run for Nintendo and for developers like n-Space that have been dedicated supporters for many years…As with any new system, the types and number of games are really going to depend on the reaction of the gaming public. The DS has a tremendous installed base and the backward compatibility of the 3DS will definitely make the DS format viable for years to come. Like in previous platform transitions (think PS2), I expect to see an ongoing market for DS games, with their budgets and retail prices decreasing as leading developers move quickly to the new platform. “

n-Space teasing ‘big news’ for today

This comes straight from n-Space’s Facebook page:
–
Hmm… Looks like we may get news on exactly what that next game coming from them is! My money is on the DS version of Call of Duty: Black Ops, but I’ve been surprised before! We’ll keep an eye on IGN to see what’s up with all this…
Reggie talks Skyward Sword, 3DS, third-party sales, more robust/compelling digital strategy in the works, and much more

Reggie on the strategy behind revealing a ton of content at E3…
“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.”
