“(Laughs) Actually I was lined up before to try it out, but I didn’t have a chance because the line was way too long. I do hope that sometime during my stay at E3 that I’ll get a chance to get my hands on it and try it out.
As for as a new Okami title on the 3DS, first of all I want to put all of my efforts into getting Okamiden out and into the public consciousness. I mainly hope the public reaction to Okamiden is good and that fans like it. Hopefully if the reaction is good enough and fans want to see another game we can look at possibly developing an Okamiden game for the 3DS. We’re certainly not ruling it out.” – Producer of Okamiden, Motohide Eshiro
Okamiden already looks fantastic on the DS…Can you imagine how a new title in the series would look on the 3DS?!
Thanks to Robert for the tip!

“It’s a little bit difficult to say. We just saw it here; we’re not sure what we can do with [the technology] yet. But certainly if the opportunity presented itself and we could make it, then it might be a really good chance for us to use that technology. But we’ll have to wait and see what the future brings.” – Shu Takumi, Ace Attorney creator
Based on what Takumi said, it doesn’t seem like all development teams from Capcom has been able to work with the 3DS yet. Personally though, I’d love to see Ace Attorney on the system in some form. Make it happen, Capcom!
The 3DS is receiving a great deal of support from third-parties, thanks to Capcom, Konami, and many additional publishers. It has also been confirmed recently that NIS has a development kit. The company hasn’t announced any specific projects that are in development, so it’s doubtful that they are preparing any titles for launch. Still, expect to see a few NIS 3DS games sometime in the future.
This week brings the longest daylight hours of the season across North America. Whether your own neighborhood is under sunny skies or summer clouds, the weather on Nintendo’s Wii™ Shop Channel and Nintendo DSi™ Shop is always inviting. New additions for the WiiWare™ service this week include an eye-popping new installment in the Art Style™ series and a pair of The Tales of Bearsworth Manor™ action-puzzle games. Hand-held gamers can choose from five new games for the Nintendo DSiWare™ service, including the puzzle fun of Spin Six™, the undersea amusement of Puffins: Let’s Fish! and the prehistoric adventure of Legendary Wars: T-Rex Rumble.
We’ve also got new arrivals in the “Big Name Games” section of the WarioWare™: D.I.Y. series, which features downloadable microgames from some of the industry’s most talented figures. This week’s additions come from the Treehouse, Nintendo’s game localization team. New “Big Name Games” will be added every Monday through July 26, all available to download for zero Nintendo DSi Points™ to anyone with broadband Internet access and a copy of either WarioWare: D.I.Y. for the Nintendo DS™ family of systems or WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase software for the WiiWare service. Visit the Nintendo Channel on your Wii system today to learn more about these games.
Now that the 3DS has been officially unveiled and the first round of specs were released by Nintendo, other companies are sharing additional information about the system. DMP has announced the system will be using the PICA200 GPU chip. There’s only a press release in Japanese for now, though you can read about the GPU’s abilities below.
“The PICA200 scales with up to four pipelines and processes from up to four programmable vertex units. The 3D core, using their proprietary graphics technology named MAESTRO-2G, the second generation of the Maestro design, implements custom graphics algorithms as hardware for enabling a set of shading features that include per-vertex sub-surface scattering, bidirectional reflectance distribution function, cook-torrance, polygon subdivision, and soft shadowing. Their image post-processing module, the PICA-FBM frame buffer management, can polish the image with anti-aliasing and a set of other 2D functions and can actually be licensed independently as a core for 2D-only devices. In either case, the PICA-FBM can be extended with a PICA-VG vector graphics module.”
