“I think ten years later, the various consoles and platforms from Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony may not exist. Instead of buying specific hardware perhaps everything will migrate to software based systems like PC, iOS, and Android.”

Even though SNS and smartphone games have been on the rise, I just can’t imagine a future without Nintendo consoles in particular. Where would we get out Mario and Zelda fix?!

“I don’t have a development kit right now. [Laughs.] Please ask Nintendo to send me one! Or maybe Bandai Namco Games can send me one. I would really like a chance to play with that hardware. Right now there probably aren’t many development kits.”

Someone get this man a development kit! Naka has proven that his Prope studio can provide interesting content. I’d love to see what he’d come up with on Wii U.

The message reads:

“Nintendo has some exciting games coming to the Nintendo 3DS system in the coming months. To whet your appetite, we have made trailers for Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Luigi’s Mansion 2, Animal Crossing, Paper Mario, and Mario Tennis available through the Nintendo eShop for you to download. They are only available for a limited time so head over to the Nintendo eShop right away!

Get started with Mario Kart 7!”

It’s great to see Nintendo keeping their fans up-to-date about happenings on the eShop. You know, they could probably promote the store further if there was some sort of option to receive weekly Nintendo Download SpotPass notifications…
