Yep.


A summary:

3DS has sold 400 000 units as of yet. Plan is to sell 400 million units worldwide by March 31st (a ridiculoudly high target).

Super Mario Bros sequel for 3DS, confirmed again.

Online play against strangers not highest priority.

Not competing with the iPhone.

Some stuff about parental control features.

Thoughts?

 

[Dantheman]

Very interesting, and that's a really high goal.

SMB sequel, or NSMB sequel?

 

[ViewtifulDamacy]

SMB sequel, or NSMB sequel?

Super Mario Bros, I can't wait for it.

 

[Hollie Rose]

I can't really compare a phone with game apps to a device made for gaming.

Anyways, that is a really high goal. Nintendo seems very confident about the 3DS.
