This information comes from the latest Iwata Asks with Tecmo Koei’s Hisashi Koinuma…
Iwata: Until now, it’s been common sense that handheld games that uses semiconductor memory (ROMs) as the game storage media don’t hold as much as games compared with home consoles.
Koinuma: But this time, Nintendo said we can use even a two-gigabyte ROM. They said that with so much memory capability we could make something comparable to a home console game, so we didn’t hold back!
Iwata: Did you use those two gigabytes to your heart’s content? (laughs)
Koinuma: Yeah. We might have gone overboard. (laughs)
Iwata: You could say that you were able to do as much as you did because you had such a large capacity like a two-gigabyte ROM.
Koinuma: That’s right.
Here’s a bit of surprising news. EA has cancelled Gardens, a 3DS game set to be released around the launch of the handheld. Development on the project seemed mostly complete – in fact, the title was rated by the ESRB back in December. EA did not provide a reason for Garden’s mysterious cancellation, though perhaps it’s related to some heavily negative previews the game received.
A few weeks back we heard a tale of Super Street Fighter IV 3D producer Yoshinori Ono being unable to secure a 3DS directly from Nintendo before its launch date this March 27th, despite being a very well respected member of the development community.
Now, CEO of Imageepooch Ryoei Mikage is having the same problem. He apparently has had to pre-order the system, which makes it the first pre-order of a gaming device in his life, despite being a confirmed high-profile developer on the system.
Well… at least fair is fair?
