Information Update - Nintendo 3DS


1.- Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has confessed to investors that the company deliberately decided to hold back some Nintendo 3DS titles so they didn’t swamp the Christmas release schedule.

More After the Break...

“Video games need to stay fresh, so it is not practical for us to put them on hold for too long, but we think that some of them may be held for a certain amount of time so that there will be a short interval between when they are completed and when they are launched.
“We are taking on this sort of challenge for the Nintendo 3DS. For example, when we look at the software lineup for the year-end sales season, it is so dense that, if we added any more software, the total sales would not increase.
“Accordingly, we have intentionally delayed the launch of some software titles to early next year.”

2.- As confirmed in the latest issue of Nintendo Power, Honey Queen (who appeared in both of the Super Mario Galaxy titles) and Wiggler will be playable in Mario Kart 7.

Nintendo Greece has released a new The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword advert featuring the lovable Robin and Zelda Williams. During the trailer Robin Williams shows Zelda Williams who’s the boss at the game which is due out November 18th in Europe and November 20th in the United States.

The aim is to attack enemies within levels lifted from the single-player experience, receive points in the process, and unlock weapons and upgrades to your character. The co-op can be played online or locally:
