The following comments come from Shigeru Miyamoto…

“I think 3DS is a unique entertainment tool - everyone can understand how it works. One of our next aims is: how do you convey this message? Because one has to play and experience [it]. We spent a lot of time developing 3DS, for games for the future, so from now on I think we’ll focus more on gaming and we are releasing lots of games this year. (expect more) remakes of games on 3DS as well. Personally speaking, because it’s [for] 3DS, it’ll be 3DS-specific, unique and immediately suitable for 3DS. With downloadable games via eShop we will start to create meaningful and high-value games for 3DS specifically. I think if it’s meaningful for 3DS (we will create eShop 1st party content). For me it’s important that anyone can play, and that it’s easy and comfortable for anyone - it’s not forcing a game into the hardware itself.”

Miyamoto also discussed his interest in putting out another Zelda remake for 3DS.

“I think A Link To The Past. Do you remember Xevious? It’s two-layered and I really wanted to create that at the time. So to see Link To The Past in two layers would be quite attractive for me.”

Thanks to all that sent this in!
