Last week, Satoru Iwata shared some interesting information about Zelda, 3DS system updates, and more at the company’s latest investor briefing. That wasn’t all the Nintendo president had to discusssed, though. Here’s what else he had to say:
– Nintendo believes the pack-in software for the 3DS is the equivalent of Wii Sports
– Nintendo is only releasing nintendogs + cats at launch to make way for third-parties
– Other software was finished before nintendogs + cats, but expect these titles to be released later
– Additional software hasn’t been announced, will be released this year
– Not as easy to get third-party support in the West because handhelds are downplayed
– Iwata feels that this importance will rise
– Nintendo will be looking to see how the West responds to 3DS and NGP

I’m sure many of you guys remember Animales de la Muerte. In case you forgot though, it was one of the first titles High Voltage announced for WiiWare. The game went into a hibernation of sorts until now. Eric Nofsinger has confirmed that the project is still in the works… but it may not end up on WiiWare.
“It could very well be for WiiWare, as well. We did some WiiWare stuff ( Gyrostarr, High Voltage Hot Rod Show) and it did okay. We didn’t lose money on any of that. But I would say it wasn’t encouraging enough that we would be doing a ton of stuff [on WiiWare].”
At the moment, Animales de la Muerte has only been confirmed for Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, and Steam. We’ll have to wait and see what happens with the WiiWare version – if anything.
