Miyamoto says "Not all 3ds games are going to be in 3d."

Nintendo boss Shigeru Miyamoto has said that not all games for the 3DS will have to include 3D technology. That’ll be up to the developers.

“Suddenly requesting all the game developers to only make 3D games on game cards exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS from now on would really raise the hurdle for them,” he said during the latest Iwata Asks interview.

Miyamoto confirmed that DS cartridges will work on the 3DS in its 2D mode, and that new games wouldn’t necessarily have to be in 3D either. Even if they do choose to make their games 3D, developers don’t have to go the whole hog, he revealed.

“We thought it would be better for developers, as well as players, if they could do as they please depending on the software, having images jump out just a little or making games based significantly on 3D.”

At least they're being reasonable about the whole thing.

That only means developers can create their vision that much more. The option is definitely nice.

Makes sense, just like not all DS games used the touch screen or the microphone.

I can only think of four games off-hand that use the microphone: Bowser's Inside Story, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, and Nintendogs.

You know, the little hole that said MIC in between the two screens? Aren't you guys like TWEWY fanboys because lots of pins required use of the mic

Heck even Pokemon uses it at times (like Chatot's Chatter move)

Mario Kart used it too for balloon battles. I could never make it work. That was a sucktacular gameplay decision.

I have, but it's the only game I own that uses it, and all you have to do is blow into the darned thing...

@SuperSlash: Yeah, pretty much that.

@Role Keep blowing it




also Metroid Prime Hunters had text chat and voice chat when you were in a game with 3 other people. Ahead of it's time, I say. Especially since NO other game for the DS since has had anything close to it.

You had to be playing with friends for that to work, though, which was dumb. And Pokemon definitely has voice chat, too.

Yep, I remember when a friend of mine's 360 headset broke, we just started playing pokémon all the time and using the voice on that until he got a new one. Good times. But yeah, the mic was underused.

Either way, good to see they're making it an option, but I'm confused as to why the 2D only games wouldn't just be released as standard fare DS carts, unless there's hardware limitations on those that 3DS ones won't have, in which case fair do. *doesn't know technical stuff*

Yeah dude, 3DS is like above Gamecube-level powerful. Why wouldn't they take advantage of all that? Plus Nintendo's not exactly going to want many more big titles on the DS, so that people feel more compelled to get the 3DS.

I probably won't be getting the 3ds at launch or anytime soon, but I do hope the games deliver on the promise of having 3d effects most of the time. But, as Miyamoto said, not all games will take advantage of the 3ds's 3d graphics like many hoped for. I do hope the 3ds sells well when it comes out.

Well, you see, I WOULD get the 3ds at launch, but I am 100% set in my ways against preordering and there's no chance of me getting one within god knows how long of release without. Freakin' low launch numbers *grumble*

Why are you against preordering? >_>

And I'm not getting it at launch because of price, poor launch lineup and terrible battery length. Although I doubt the latter will be solved for a long time...
