Super Street Fighter 3DS features online versus

The new Super Street Fighter IV for the 3DS will be online capable for versus mode, like the other versions of this game. With the stance that Nintendo takes on online gaming, which is non-existent, I’m hoping that Capcom will have their own servers for online play Continue reading

Not all 3DS games will be in 3D

Nintendo says that not all of the 3DS games made will be in mind blowing 3D. In a recent interview with Shigesato Itoi in the latest Iwata Asks where they mentioned this as well as compatibility with DS games. Continue reading

3DS Promotes Walking

Fitness is a big topic these days and especially within the gaming realm. Nintendo first promoted its Wii Fit line of gaming products as a method of losing weight and being healthy. Well, now it seems as if the 3DS is also taking a similar route with a built in pedometer that will earn game coins to be allocated to the game of your choice. Continue reading

Nintendo Wants To Have No Game Pauses With 3DS

Nintendo wants to avoid gaming droughts with the 3DS and have a more balanced release schedule. With 8 games slated for release with the 3DS, and a couple more waiting in the hangars to be launched in due time, I think the first 6-12 months will be ok.

This is important because Nintendo does not want to have a drop in momentum with the software and hardware sales on the 3DS, which is definitely a high end handheld  gaming device. I’m hoping Nintendo can print those games and assemble this gaming console fast enough to keep up with the demands that the 3DS will have in the coming months.

3DS to have 3-8 hours of playtime

It looks like the new device that’s coming out from Nintendo later this year will have a 3-8 hour battery life which means that you will need to have an external source of power pretty close by to keep those juices flowing in the 3DS. Continue reading

Nintendo had considered a 3D Gameboy Advance

Nintendo had considered releasing a 3D Gameboy Advance but put the idea on hold until the 3DS. The reason that they put the idea on hold was that the LCD screens back in 2001 didn’t have the quality needed to make good quality 3D screens. Also Iwata let slip that the Gamecube was 3D capable as well too but it would have increased production costs by quite a bit. He also mentioned that they did have a 3D version of Luigi’s Mansion as well. At least Nintendo held off on this technology until now, where 3D screens are readily available and are of a good enough quality to pass their quality control.
