Nintendo has teased the possibility of adding 3DS video recording to the 3DS for some time now. Satoru Iwata hinted that an update with the feature would be released in the future, and then Reggie Fils-Aime indicated that it was coming at the Game Developers Conference.
The latest tease comes from the newest Iwata Asks. First, here’s a partial conversation between Iwata and Yusuke Akifusa:
NISA hasn’t actually confirmed that this is the boxart for Cave Story 3D, but it does look pretty official! GameFly has been on top of boxarts in the past, too, so I’d say that this it’s more than likely.
1. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock* $830.9 million
2. Call of Duty: Black Ops $787.4 million
3. Wii Fit (w/ Balance Board) $736.6 million
4. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 $713.6 million
5. Rock Band*$670.7 million
6. Wii Play (w/ Wii Remote)
7. Guitar Hero World Tour*
8. Wii Fit Plus*
9. Mario Kart Wii (w/ Wii Wheel)
10. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
