Katsuya Eguchi has fielded a number of questions about the Wii U in a new interview. Eguchi was asked about the Virtual Console for Wii U, resolution of games, and framerates.

We’ll mention a few things here right off the bat: Nintendo would like to avoid selling Wii U at a loss, VC games may run on the GamePad screen, Nintendo may consider 1080p resolution for their games, and almost all of Nintendo Land’s attractions run at 60 frames-per-second.

Even though there was speculation that Nintendo would be introducing a new 3DS at E3 2012, it never happened. A rumor from Nikkei suggested a model with a larger top screen would be unveiled.

Despite the fact that no such announcement was made, Nintendo does seem to have some interest in a larger 3DS screen.

Hideki Konno, who played a large role in the development of 3DS, told Joystiq that he greatly appreciates the DS XL’s larger screen as it makes things easier to see.

That’s not a confirmation of a 3DS XL, but Konno’s response to the possibility is rather interesting. Maybe we’ll see a 3DS XL some day…

As she takes on a mission for the Eternia army, Lee encounters Anies, and even though she was given the task to apprehend Anies, Lee ends up providing support.

Jump’s report also contains some new gameplay details. Lee is able to change her job – which does in fact change abilities – as is the case with the other characters. A second system is introduced in the magazine involving the use of turns.
