First, here’s what Spector had to say about the 3DS…
“You know, if I talk about that, someone’s going to kill me, so we should move on (Laughter). I will say that we were backstage, and we were just so privileged to be part of the Nintendo press conference. That was absolutely one of the most fun things and coolest things I’ve ever done in my life. But anyway, we were backstage afterwards listening to the 3DS discussion and it’s like, we were just like getting more excited, cheering back there. Who knew it has a 3D camera? And you can watch 3D movies without glasses? I really expected him to say, ‘…and it tucks you into bed at night.’ It’s like, ‘holy cow, sign me up, I want the first one off the assembly line.’ It’s amazing, and I’m not getting paid to say that. As a gamer, I just want it bad.”
Spector was also asked if there are Disney characters besides Mickey he’d like to bring to the games medium…
“Oh, heck yeah. (Laughter)… Oh yeah… Don’t draw any conclusions. A day does not go by where I don’t tell somebody at Disney: ‘Gimme the ducks. Gimme the ducks! Uncle Scrooge, come on! Donald! Huey, Dewey, and Louie! Come on, let me do a duck game!’ So yeah, I would love to do a duck game. Uncle Scrooge is the coolest character, you know? He was Indiana Jones before Steven Spielberg was a gleam in his mother’s eye, you know? I mean, come on. He’s a great character.”
I feel like it’s only a matter of time before Warren Spector makes a 3DS title. He comes off sounding extremely excited each time he talks about the system. Who knows… Maybe he’ll bring Duck Tales to the handheld.

Bawang, an ape living at the San Francisco Zoo, had his first encounter with a video game on Friday after a boy accidentally dropped his DSi XL into the gorilla exhibit. Bawang seemed to be quite interested in figuring out how the handheld worked, as the animal was seen flipping it over and examining it in front of its eyes a few times. A younger gorilla, Hansai, tried to take the DSi XL away, though Hansai refused to hand it over.
Shortly thereafter, one of the zoo’s trainers came over to retrieve the device. Bawang willingly threw the DSi XL into the crowd, and was rewarded with an apple. Apparently the gorilla’s at the zoo have been trained to do that, as Christina Spicuzza, the photographer at the scene, explained:
“The gorilla was very interested in trying to figure it out… She (the trainer) told us that they trained them to do that. If anything falls in there they are trained that they get a reward if they throw it back up.”
So, what was the fate of the DSi XL? According to the boy and his family, it’s in perfect working condition. All’s well that ends well!
