Capcom on the launch of their 3DS titles…
“We announced Resident Evil Revelations and Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition at E3, but these are not included in our plan for this fiscal year. At present, it’s (timing for 3DS game releases are) to be determined.”
Capcom on development costs of the 3DS…
