Iwata: About how many designers were involved with design of the Nintendo 3DS system?
Miyatake: Including everyone who worked on accessories like the charging cradle, stylus, card case and artwork for items like the packaging and operations manual, there were seven.
Miyatake: I remember that first presentation very well. We thought up six proposals ranging from models similar to previous Nintendo DS systems to ones that were completely different in design, and two types of each, so we prepared a total of 12 models. We thought we had prepared a very comprehensive presentation, but in the end, all six proposals got rejected.

This information comes from High Voltage Art Director Matt Corso…
“Our company has never been 100 per cent dedicated to the Wii platform. We’ve always made games for all systems. As far as The Conduit goes, that can definitely come onto a different Nintendo system right now. It’s something we’re really considering. Sure, we’re looking at 3DS. DS is definitely a strong possibility because it’s an awesome new system.”
Corso was then asked about the PlayStation Move controller, indicating that Conduit could be released for other platforms…
“Well, as far as bringing it onto other consoles goes, that’s always a possibility as well. It’s something we continually discuss in our offices.”
Don’t be confused by the wording in the first set of quotes. Conduit is definitely heading to the 3DS, and I’m quite sure that Mr. Corso was asked about the possibility prior to the official confirmation.
