Miyamoto talks Nintendo franchises on eShop, 3DS remakes (Link to the Past interest), and much more
Shigeru Miyamoto on Nintendo’s lack of software output recently…
“I think 3DS is a unique entertainment tool – everyone can understand how it works. One of our next aims is: how do you convey this message? Because one has to play and experience [it]. We spent a lot of time developing 3DS, for games for the future, so from now on I think we’ll focus more on gaming and we are releasing lots of games this year.”
Miyamoto on his hopes for the eShop…
“Personally speaking, because it’s [for] 3DS, it’ll be 3DS-specific, unique and immediately suitable for 3DS. With downloadable games via eShop we will start to create meaningful and high-value games for 3DS specifically.”
Miyamoto explaining that he is open to Nintendo’s established franchises appearing on the eShop…
“I think if it’s meaningful for 3DS. For me it’s important that anyone can play, and that it’s easy and comfortable for anyone – it’s not forcing a game into the hardware itself.”
Miyamoto on the one game he would most like to see remade for 3DS…
“I think A Link To The Past. Do you remember Xevious? It’s two-layered and I really wanted to create that at the time. So to see Link To The Past in two layers would be quite attractive for me.”
Other than the information above, Miyamoto also said that fans can look forward to more “remakes of games on 3DS as well”. That seems to imply that Ocarina of Time 3D and Star Fox 64 3D won’t be the only classic titles that Nintendo will bring over to the 3DS.
