Iwata talks 3DS plans for 3D-less games

At the Q1 Financial Results Briefing for Nintendo's 72nd Fiscal Term meeting, President Satoru Iwata answered questions regarding the state of their hardware, their software, and their ongoing relationship with their third-party developers, among many others.

 

 

Of particular interest of course was the ongoing problem of software for the Nintendo 3DS handheld. Once again, Iwata gave out his take as to why it didn't sell as hot as pancakes like its predecessors did.

 

 

"The Nintendo 3DS did not sprint out of hte game from the start in accordance with our sales scenario. So we have done various analysis (on the cause), and we ourselves have many things to reflect on. But if I say, 'That was a mistake,' or 'We shouldn't have done that,' at this point, my words might be only partly cited, or in some cases distorted and spread.

Therefore, I do not think talking about what we did wrong in a public space will have a good impact on the future of the Nintendo 3DS. Of course, there are several things I am reflecting on, and I am also considering a number of things, but please let me refrain from mentioning respective points in detail. But at least, I think we have to greatly reflect on the fact that, at the launch, we could not implement the functions we have offered by the system update (via the Internet) around the time of E3 in June this year."

 

 

As for the curious prospect of having 3D-less games on the 3DS: "I think there could be a Nintendo 3DS software title which does not use the 3D feature at all, and I believe Nintendo will develop such software," he said. "Instead, other features of the Nintendo 3DS should be focused on.

 

 

It might be a communication feature, or other functions (such as the gyro sensor or the motion sensor). The important thing is that each respective software title has its own characteristics, and appeals to the consumers in a way that fits the software. So I am not worried in a way like, 'The value of the Nintendo 3DS will decrease when the novelty of 3D wears of.'"

 

 

Just before July ended, Nintendo announced that the 3DS will be having a huge price cut, by as much as 40%. Analysts were quick to throw in their opinion as to why the handheld is getting such a huge discount in such a short span of time, but Nintendo insists that they were merely applying a lesson they learned from the GameCube.

they might have to change their tactics. if the 3ds games aren't selling, then they really should tap on the other features of the 3ds.

I'm Thinking theyy are jus putting that out there cuz they got rayman origins coming next year and other 2d games and they realized some games shouldnt be 3d... problem is 3ds doesnt have any features to take advantage of, but the 3d and 3d camera and people who dont own a 3ds, when they play they complain about there eyes as much as they complain and i've personnally never played my 3ds on 3d for more then 10 mins i just dont see why do it if it makes ur battery go like 2 and a half hours

Someone needs to research interlacing for 2D games. I'm sure something can be done. If not that, an option for alternate views might be nice. Or a HUD that only appears to one eye.

Um.... Obviously they need to focus on other things besides 3D.
Seriously.... the DS and Wii had the same issue... People made games and included the use of the touchscreen/motion sensors. It didn't matter if the game was good or not, they released it anyways expecting it to sell just because the use of the new features.
Guess what! For a lot of crappy titles, this worked!

They need to get their priorities straight. 3D adds NOTHING to gameplay. It adds no new ways to play games. Just a different way to see them... So, like everyone always says... "Focus on gameplay and less on graphics."

+1 # 3Dless games for a 3D console? WtfCylon_Surfer 2011-08-06 05:34
3D doesn't add anything to games? You don't turn on 3D on your 3D console - you must be mad!!!

Ocarina of Time looked and played very well in 3D. The 3D added an extra level of immersion to an already great game!

I want more 3D games not less, let's not forget the console has a 3D off option for all the haters. Why not give people the choice?

I won't be buying any 2D games for my 3DS (not including VC games) I just don't see the point

So let me get this straight, now Nintendo wants to release 3d-less games for a console that focuses primarily on 3d capabilities.That is the most retarded thing I have ever heard.I bought the console strictly to play 3d games & I kid you not if you try to sell me a non 3d game to fill the void I will sell my 3ds & or just not buy any more games(non 3d)..Leave the non 3d games for the nintendo ds and just vamp out more software for the 3ds whether it be downloadable or not.Point blank you need to come out with a hell of a lot more content for 3ds and that is why you are loosing sales.

But NDS is a vastly inferior system. That's be like saying all games that use less that 512Mb of data should be on the N64 instead of the Gamecube.

What is the name of this console ?

It´s: 3DS

Why is it called "3DS" ? Because it offers a 3DScreen.... This is reason for its name.

Imagine, they start producing 2D games for a 3D console... What a nonsense !

They say, they want to focus on the other features. Other features? Great. But why leave 3D to use other features ? 3D is expected to be standard and the other features should be used, too !!!

If there will be more 2D titles in future, I will also sell my 3DS to express my disappointment. So let´s hope this won´t happen.

At first I was 100 percent against this idea but now thinking about it I see why they would wanna go with that strategy.I assume that they think other than the lack of launch titles that most people didn't buy a 3ds because the 3d that may have hurt their eyes and gave them a headache,so by making non 3d games as well, they would be able to cater to those gamers and the kids under 7 who cant yet use the 3d feature.Lets not forget that the 3ds still has features that the ds does not and being that you can still play ds games on 3ds its almost stupid not to trade up your ds for 3ds(unless you care about playing your gameboy color cartridges.Though I would love every single title to be in 3d I wouldn't be opposed to game that use motion control etc being that the game be good that is.THe best thing Nintendo can do is offer a trade up plan where you can turn in your ds for even more money off & towards buying a 3ds and have the traded in ds accounted as money back to nintendo as to put a bit of money in there pocket.
