The 3DS has only been in the hands of third-parties for only a few months, yet it has already garnered tremendous support. However, a number of developers saw it for the first time at E3, including BioWare co-founder Greg Zeschuk. In a recent interview, Zeschuck said that he was “blown away” by Nintendo’s new portable, and even pondered the possibility of making a title for the handheld.

“We could [make a 3DS title] because we’ve done a DS game before. So imagining it, it’s pretty similar. It will depend. The thing I’m curious about on 3DS is, what else does it bring to the table? Is it going to be wireless? What kind of backend connectivity are they going to do? That is what excites me. I loved it. I saw it at E3 and I was blown away. I’m not sure if it’ll bring that much more to the table. But that’s going to be enough to reinvigorate the DS market. For us to want to jump in, you largely have to have a lot more online stuff going on there. You’re clearly limited in how flexible you can be on the backend. We always joked about a DS MMO at some point…It would be brilliant. But the problem is it’s not patchable. That’s the thing I’ve learned working on MMO stuff. You have to be able to update. But it would be a pretty cool concept…And that [more online integration] opens up those kinds of windows. And suddenly, even just imagine that.”

– Ace Attorney series is finished with Apollo Justice, Takumi believes
– Not sure whether to make another Phoenix Wright game or something original
– Takumi found inspiration for the Ace Attorney titles in mystery novels that he read when he was young
– On the 3DS: “We’ll definitely move onto the 3DS with our ideas. I really liked the 3D camera and gyro sensor possibilities, and I’m already thinking of ways for taking advantage of it”.
– Takumi likes Phoenix and Godo, may be his favorite characters
– Because the original Ace Attorney team only had 5 staff members, Takumi was the voice actor for Phoenix

Thanks to Robert for the tip!
