Iwata on Virtual Boy games for 3DS – official comment
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata tackled a question regarding Virtual Boy games on the 3DS during the company’s most-recent investor meeting Q&A. This is something that we posted about last week, but we now have the official translation.
Iwata’s statement reads:
I cannot talk about any unannounced products on occasions like this, but Virtual Boy is a game console Nintendo launched in the past that allows players to experience a 3D world in black and red only by just looking into it. It was not a commercial success, but some say that it was an attractive and extremely unique product by the standards at that time. I believe your comment is that we should take advantage of our software assets from Virtual Boy and I would like to take note of that advice for the future.
