Satoru Iwata has hinted to investors that Western third-party developers are back onboard with the Nintendo 3DS. Iwata admitted to investors that third-party developers were hesitant to develop for the Nintendo 3DS due to poor sales, but since the systems turnaround worldwide, they’re now back onboard. Iwata teased that we should see a “richer” software lineup for the Nintendo 3DS at E3, which takes place next month.
“As for the Nintendo 3DS, there may appear to be fewer commitments from the U.S. and the European software publishers than those of their Japanese counterparts. This is due to the different timing (between Japan and overseas) when they noticed that the Nintendo 3DS would surely expand widely into their markets and, thus, the different timing when they started the actual development of the Nintendo 3DS software. You will also notice a change in this situation when a richer Nintendo 3DS software lineup in the overseas markets is announced around the time of the E3 show. In Japan, we have this solid feeling that the Japanese publishers will continuously support the Nintendo 3DS. Accordingly, I have no pessimistic view on the Nintendo 3DS software lineup.”

Youre not last until you take my penis out of your butt.
You are not a good troll until your stop with those over used lines.
U need get dah penis outa yo butt.
I like to keep it inside until I orgasm.
^Me too!
Dont lie. Last time you pulled put right as I was about to shit, cheater.
Oooh. Exciting stuff! On a side note, where did u get that awesome multi-game holder case? Cud do with one of them bad boys! :)
Club Nintendo (North America only, I believe… and most probably Japan as well).
Who would have guessed? Personally, I’m really looking forward to what Nintendo’s doing with the 3DS, even more so than the Wii U. The Wii U info will just get me restless for its winter release, and it won’t help me at all right now. 3DS games and updates are instant; games might come out days or weeks right after E3 (Rayman Origins, anyone?).
Anyways, back on topic, it seems pretty obvious; all of Nintendo’s handheld systems did well with 3rd parties (even Rockstar got on board with the DS!), so I won’t be surprised for something similar with the 3DS.
I think companies need some minimum hardware sale so they reduce risks, but finally!!! I mean the vita has poor sales and they will have a bioshock game and a AC i think, they also have silent hill. Why the 3ds beating thecrap out of all hardware only have 1st party??? well with resident and metal gear
vita is still shit with those games. why get it for vita if u can get it for ps3…
Vita is a joke.
…except that joke is not funny at all.
Fanboys are a joke!
UMAD BRO? sorry the vita is failing. its the truth. hate to lie to you…
i actually agree vita has more divers games rather than just Jrpg all the time u have resistance coming this month uncharted mortal kombat marvel vs capcom but if u look at it i just named a FPS action adventure and 2 fighting games 3ds only has japanese games and no FPS games its like ok vita has been out for 3 months and now there getting a fps and 3ds been out a year and is getting more rpg than SNES did so i agree with u
the 3DS is getting Conduit
Is it really? Should be interesting on the 3DS. It was a pretty mediocre game on the Wii so i’m hoping its better on a handheld.
thanks, also what i want is not to have the same games from the vita but have more great franchises like dead space bioshock no more heroes etc…
crap franchises…
I would actually prfer fighting games & JRPG’s over an FPS anyday, but that’s just me. The 3DS has more & better fighting games than the Vita which only has 2 right now.
Yes…….yessssss………..YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
Daniel bryan??
NINTENDO SIXTY FAAAAWWWWWRRRR!!!
thank you
Daniel Bryan is awesome, but CM Punk is the best in the world!
Agreed.
Totally agreed. Especially when he acted drunk and beat that y2j guy( forgot is name). Anyways what does this have to do with nintendo or gaming for that matter.
Oh god, Nintendo’s E3 conference will be so damn AWESOME.
Bet u anything they’ll be announcing a new 3DS model, that’ll release by September, just in time for Holiday period and for Wii U compatibility. It’s gonna have to have a better battery life, two circle pads, and bigger on-board memory. I can almost guarantee it!
But arn’t 3DS downloads & extra data saved to the SD card anyway? I wouldn’t expect a redesign untill early 2013.
Yeah, they are, but given the fact that all new release 3DS games will be available to download soon, I’m guessing they’ll give people the option of being able to store them to their own system too, as well as SD card. I definitely expect the redesign this year. Look at DS and DS Lite, that was within a year. This will be almost 2 years for the 3DS and 3DS Lite(or whatever it’ll be).
Just because nintendo did it once doesn’t mean they are always going to do it. A redisign release this year would be foolish, as nintendo would have to deal with two console launches in such a short time. 2013 sounds more reasonable for a redesign
yeah but they wont run u 40 to 100 bucks
What SD cards are you seeing that are $100…
man I’d buy that one, it’d be perfect!
This and the digital stuff are old news. Still, this is awesome.
nintendo has reborned.sonysucks and microfail,welcome on 1996 (when nintendo had 64)
and 1994 when they had the SNES
Fags.

FINAL FANTASY 7 OR DRAGONQUEST 7 FOR 3DS!!!!!!!!!!!!! either would be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vita is selling badly so SquareEnix might move FF7 to the 3ds!!!!!!! :D DQ7 is obviously gonna be on 3ds since the others have been remade for ds
i cant wait for starfox.(i miss that game series so badly)
You are a smelly Jew.
racist man again
Peteriuss is racist, he has warning emails.
watch out annonymous because i will support the golden dome and we will kill u!
and i hope u know whats the golden dome.(a political koma) suck it
death threats, lol oh no.
go get fucked by a hippo.
my god how is the real peteriuss…also can i be part of the peteriuss brothers?
You can my friend.
Would be amazing if FF7 arrived to 3ds!
i dont know whats FF7,sorry
Cos u is faggit.
or a Final Fantasy VI remake:D
yes or that! but either dq7 or ff7 is rumoured to come to 3ds. google it!
metroid running on unreal engine 3… fuck yea!
U got warning email, fat cunt.
u too
no i did not, go suck a cock.
Or TWEWY 2
Squenix never said they were working on a ff7 remake for vita, did they? I thought it was a FFX remake. Not that it really needs a remake but it’s probably just because they’ve become lazy.
i sed it is a rumour
That doesn’t asure anything, all FF and DQ games were Nintendo exclusives up to 6, then 7 the mafe the jump to PSX (DQ up to 9)
*then at 7 they made the jump to PSX
(god I hate touch screens)
but SEnix are a third party and since it costs consierably less to make ff7 for 3ds as opposed to ps3…am sure enix wanna make a quick buck. also vita is not seling very well and square enix cannot afford to release a game for a failing console.
1 question.ps4 will have 4k (new resulation)?
doubt ps4 is out anytime soon, sony is already in a difficult situation with the vita and 6bill loss…
i love the sony bad news :) that company made nintendo suffer a lot
They deserve it for ripping their so called hardcore fans…. shud of stuck with Nintendo.
U masturbate alot
i know i do. its called having a gf… sucks (no pun intended) to be you
u can’t afford ps4 anyway poor boy.
bla bla bla ps4 and bullshits.i have 1 thing to say and thats that sony makes BORING GAMES!
u only say that because u cant afford sony system. you are a poor tramp from the streets.
At least Nintendo makes its own games and then publish them, unlike Sony who just publishes them.
I like Sony and nintendo, this boy can’t afford all the systems.
Yes because Sony Santa Monica and BEND studios are a 3rd Party Dev Company
u suck fagboy, sony is shit, they need to stick with other industies and drop gaming. cant afford a sony system?? i think its funny u thing yur awesome saying that cuz sony systems are cheap compared to gaming pcs which are the best of all systems and i have one and u prolly couldnt afford one so go suck your cheap sony shitstation and stop annoying nintendo fans
better question is will you spend that much money for it?
No.
And to think we get to see all the new Nintendo goodness just next month! :-)
That photo made excited. I thought they were bringing this case back to Club Nintendo.
hey sikr this off topic but i found some new you might find interesting about resident evil 6
Maby this is why megaman legends 3 might be revived
I’m sure there will be plenty of 3DS games at E3 and I for one cannot wait. Let’s not forget that Nintendo are working on a Zelda title for the 3DS plus there were rumours that there might be two versions of said Zelda title much like the Gameboy Color games. Between the new announcements for the 3DS and Wii-U, we could be possibly seeing an overload of Nintendo goodness that could destroy our unprepared minds and bodies.
soul caliber 6 for wiiu and including link…
have you not got some gay porn to watch or something?
you eat caca.
”soap mactavish has been ignored”
Im not soap though, mong. Soap.has not posted on this site for weeks.
You eat balls and dick, a$$hole.
Go suck his ass, you fucking suck up homo.
include pit for mii.
Fire Emblem Awakening please
This bit of Iwata news in interesting in that he specifically states that the overseas markets (meaning US and EU) will see third party support announcements around the time of E3, or I’m guessing literally at E3. If this is true then I’d be very happy, since all the games I own on the 3DS currently are from Japanese developers. Perhaps 3DS will be getting a Call of Duty game this year, among others.
A little off topic, but I continue to be amazed at how poorly the Vita is doing in Japan. Nintendo was extremely smart in grabbing the Monster Hunter franchise from Sony and getting it on the 3DS. As far as the US market goes, I wonder what it’ll take to make 3DS sales increase. I’m sure Nintendo has a plan in store, whether its services or games.
monster hunter is also coming to vita.
I was wondering how the comments skyrocketed to 81 from like 16 in two hours…
Did they start working on Paper Mario?! O:<
retarded question….
Monster Hunter Tri G just NEEDS to get an American and European release with an Online mode.. if they don’t announce it at the E3 I’m going to sit in a corner and be emo. @_@.. if they DO announce it I’ll love Nintendo forever :P
