Nintendo UK – built-in software is 3DS’ killer app, Mario Kart 3DS/Ocarina of Time 3D release date talk
Nintendo UK marketing manager James Honeywell on the 3DS’ killer app…
“I actually think that the killer app is the software that is built into the console. With the AR games, the Mii maker, the quests and the ability to swap Miis, those are the killer apps and people should take the time to have a go on those. I’m sure they’ll be surprised at the level of depth and ingenuity that is already there.”
Honeywell on Mario Kart 3DS’ release date…
“That’s certainly what we’re kind of planning on at the moment (2011 release), but you know, things can always change, and until we actually make a firm announcement about the release dates, obviously it’s good to wait and see what those dates might be.”
Honeywell on a release date for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D…
“I know from personal experience of being on the sampling tours that the game everyone ran to was Zelda, to get their first experience of it in 3D, so we know it’s hotly anticipated, and hopefully we’ll be making an announcement fairly soon so people will be able to find out when they’ll be able to go and get it.”
Satoru Iwata said that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D will be arriving in June. He was most likely referring to the North American release date, but I’m sure that means it’ll launch in Europe around the same time as well.
