Information Update - Nintendo 3DS


1.- There’s a fan movement hoping to bring Mega Man Legends 3 back from the dead, and Capcom has finally addressed the movement in a statement to Kotaku. 

More After the Break...

Capcom spokesperson Brian Kelter had this to say:

We are aware of the fan created Facebook page requesting that we resume development of Mega Man Legends 3. While Capcom has a built a strong relationship with its community and values their feedback, Mega Man Legends 3 development has officially ceased without plans to resume development.

So, unfortunately, it doesn't seem like they are budging...

2.- Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has written a letter to all Nintendo 3DS owners apologizing for the recently announced price cut. 

The letter was originally in Japanese but the guys over at Giant Bomb have managed to translate the original letter into English.

To Those Customers Who Bought A Nintendo 3DS Before The Price Change

Greetings, everyone. This is Satoru Iwata from Nintendo.

Thank you very much for purchasing a Nintendo 3DS.

We have just announced a price drop for the Nintendo 3DS system effective on August 11 [August 12 in North America].

In the past, there have been price drops for video game systems some time after their release in order to broaden the user base further. However, never before has Nintendo chosen to issue such a dramatic price drop less than 6 months after a system release.

We are all too keenly aware that those of you who supported us by purchasing the 3DS in the beginning may feel betrayed and criticize this decision.

This unprecedented timing for a price cut is because the situation has changed greatly since we originally launched the 3DS. We decided it was necessary to take this drastic step in order to ensure that large numbers of users will continue to enjoy the 3DS in the future.

If the software creators and those on the retail side are not confident that the Nintendo 3DS is a worthy successor to the DS and will achieve a similarly broad (user) base, it will be impossible for the 3DS to gain popularity, acquire a wide range of software, and eventually create the product cycle necessary for everyone to be satisfied with the system.

Those customers who purchased the 3DS at the very beginning are extremely important to us. We know that there is nothing we can do to completely make up for the feeling that you are being punished for buying the system early. Still, we would like to offer the following as a sign of our appreciation to you.

[3DS Ambassador program details]

We feel a strong responsibility to develop the 3DS as a platform — to ensure that, in the end, everyone is satisfied; we will make every effort to do so.

Additionally, we know everyone is waiting for Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7. They are scheduled for release in November and December, respectively, so we ask for your patience until then.

Thank you again, and we look forward to your continued support.

3.- A recent interview with Tetsuya Nomura of Square Enix has revealed details about the story in Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. The story will have a level of interactivity during cut scenes, so in a way they’ll be playable. 

This is how Nomura explained it:

Though the story is important to fans as shown by the results of the [Famitsu] survey, it won’t be drawn-out. Not meaning that we’ve decreased the number of cutscenes, but having each one explained one by one reduces the tempo of the game, so we’re introducing a new system to make up for it.

The ‘new system’ refers to the playable parts. 

4.- New screenshots from Brave Company show off quite a bit of the game.

1.- Hay un movimiento de fans que desea traer a Mega Man Legends 3 a la vida de nuevo, y finalmente Capcom, via Kotaku, ha mandado un mensaje al movimiento. 

Brian Kelter dijo lo siguiente:

Sabemos que hay una página en Facebook creada por fans, que piden que revivamos el desarrollo de Mega Man Legends 3. Mientras que Capcom ha construido una gran relación con su comunidad y valora su feedback, el desarrollo de Mega Man Legends 3 no tiene planes de resumir.

No parece que vayan a revivirlo...

2.- El presidente de Nintendo Satoru Iwata ha escrito una carta él mismo, pidiendo disculpas a los usuarios de 3DS. 

A aquellos clientes que compraron la consola antes del cambio de precio

Saludos, a todos. Soy Satoru iwata de Nintendo.

Muchas gracias por comprar una Nintendo 3DS.

Acabamos de anunciar un corte de precio en la Nintendo 3DS que será efectivo a partir del 11 de Agosto [12 de Agosto en América].

En el pasado ha habido cortes en el precio de sistemas de videojuegos tiempo tras su lanzamiento para aumentar su rango de usuarios. Sin embargo, nunca antes Nintendo ha elegido cortar el precio tan dramáticamente tras la salida de una consola.

Estamos completamente al corriente de que todos que habéis comprado una Nintendo 3DS al principio podáis sentiros traicionados y critiquéis esta decisión.

Aquellos clientes que hayáis comprado la consola al principio de todo seguís siendo muy importantes para nosotros. Sabemos que no hay nada que podamos hacer para completamente eliminar el sentimiento de traición o de castigo por comprar el sistema pronto. Pero nos gustaría ofrecer lo siguiente para compensar.

[3DS Ambassador program details]

Sentimos una responsabilidad enorme en el desarrollo de la 3DS — para estar seguros de que todos, al final, disfruten, tenemos que tomar estas medidas.

Adicionalmente, sabemos que todos estáis esperando a Super Mario 3D Land y Mario Kart 7. saldrán en Noviembre y Diciembre, así que pedimos vuestra paciencia.

Gracias de nuevo, y esperamos vuestro apoyo.

3.- Una reciente entrevista con Tetsuya Nomura de Square Enix ha revelado detalles sobre la historia de Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. La historia tendrá un nivel de interactividad durante las cutscenes, donde el jugador seguirá teniendo un rol. 

Así es como lo explicó Nomura:

Aunque sabemos que la historia es importante en el juego para los fans, según la encuesta de Famitsu, no estará tan clara. No significa eso que hayamos disminuido el número de escenas animadas, pero explicarlas todas una tras otra reduce el tempo del juego, por lo que introducimos un nuevo sistema para ello.

4.- Nuevas pantallas de Brave Company enseñan bastante del juego.
