This information comes from n-Space’s Facebook page…

“More titles to announce this year. But not Winter or Geist 2. We have one more unannounced DS title in development, and a Wiiware title left to announce.”

According to n-Space, GoldenEye is not one of the games they were teasing. I’m wondering when we’re going to hear about their projects! I’m also hoping that we’ll get a first look at the DS GoldenEye game next week.

About ten years ago, when we were launching the Nintendo GameCube console, 3D technology was already available in the form of parallax barrier. We experimented to see what would happen if a LCD display could do 3D using the processing power of the GameCube. The GameCube had the ability to show images from the left eye and the right eye, shifted so that they could produce a 3D effect. The circuitry had been designed with the possibility of using a parallax barrier LCD. We experimented with Luigi’s Mansion, a launch title for the GameCube, to see if it would work. And the result was appealing. It showed depth in the view of the gaming world. But when we reviewed its marketability, we had to consider the problem of consumers having to purchase displays. Game hardware was already one purchase. And the TVs were not cheap at that time. So we thought it would not be practical.
