Ltd., showcases the Nintendo 3DS portable video game system at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco on March 2, 2011. The Nintendo 3DS launches in the United States on March 27, 2011 and offers a realistic, immersive 3D gaming experience without the need for special glasses.
This information comes from a Eurocom representative…
“Yes, immensely satisfied. We’re really happy that it’s reviewed well and that the public is continuing to enjoy playing it online. We’re satisified with the sales as we’re tracking very well.”
I’m very happy for GoldenEye, mainly because I was extremely surprised by the solid single-player adventure. It’s nice to see a third-party game succeed on Wii which received a generally favorable reception from critics, was marketed, and sold well in the end.
There were two related items other than the Skyward Sword trailer that Satoru Iwata briefly mentioned at his GDC keynote. First, he said that Ocarina of Time 3D will be available in June. Additionally, it was said that Shigeru Miyamoto is preparing… something for Zelda’s 25th anniversary. No word yet on what that is, but perhaps we’ll find out more at E3.
Upcoming Nintendo 3DS System Will Expand the World of Nintendo Entertainment
SAN FRANCISCO, March 2, 2011 – A new 3D game from Nintendo’s iconic Super Mario series is in the works for the Nintendo 3DS™ portable system. Nintendo also announced two upcoming collaborations: Nintendo 3DS owners will be able to connect automatically to the Internet at more than 10,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots, while Netflix members will instantly stream movies and other content on their Nintendo 3DS systems. These features were announced today at the Game Developers Conference during Nintendo President Satoru Iwata’s keynote address, titled “Video Games Turn 25: A Historical Perspective and Vision for the Future.”
During his speech, Iwata said Nintendo 3DS gives developers new tools to create games and experiences never before possible while enabling them to reach the public in new ways.
