Nintendo UK’s Saunders on 3D for future consoles: “never say never”
This information comes from Nintendo UK’s Head of Communications, Rob Saunders, who was asked if positive reactions to the 3DS will mean we’ll see 3D in future Nintendo consoles…
“It’s a good question. The honest answer is that if I told you I’d have to kill you. We’ve had 3D running on past consoles for a number of years and we have had 3D running on the original DS, the Gamecube and the Wii. That’s no secret, we said that at E3 last year, but now it feels like the right time to bring 3D to the market. ‘So ‘never say never’; we’re always working on new consoles and new applications, things like that. We’re always very keen at Nintendo, we always start work on the next home console as soon as the previous one’s released. So we are working on something and we’re always looking at new ideas and new developments, so that work is underway. As to what it pertains to and what it is… Even I don’t know!”
I wouldn’t expect Saunders to know too much about Nintendo’s next home console. However, Satoru Iwata has indicated that 3D functionality could be possible for the Wii’s successor…
