Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime tackled a few more questions in an interview with AllThingsD.

He first commented on Miiverse, which he feels will be an unexpected hit and will grow to become “a true killer application for the system.”

Other topics include Nintendo’s broad competition, forecasts and productions for Wii U, and more.

Old 3DS retail games, including Super Mario 3D Land and Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, will be making their way to the Japanese eShop.

A new Japanese Nintendo Direct reveals that a total of eight titles will be placed on the store. Mario Tennis Open, Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, The 3D Encyclopedia of Flora an Fauna, Star Fox 64 3D, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, and PilotWings Resort arrive on the store on November 1.

All of the titles will cost 4,800 yen – with the exception of Encyclopedia of Flora an Fauna, which is priced at 3,800 yen.

Most of these games should be released on the North American and European eShops as well, but nothing has been confirmed.
