GN Version 3.1

A portion of a 3DS Buzz interview with Nintendo UK’s James Honeywell…

3DS Buzz: Which is more likely, Pikmin 3DS or Smash Bros. 3DS?

JH: In theory both are just as possible or likely – however neither title has been formally announced as being in development.

3DS Buzz: Will Pokémon make use of AR cards?

JH: It’s technically possible but we have nothing to announce on this at this time. There are no immediate plans to sell AR cards as separate items.

3DS Buzz: Why isn’t there an achievement system on 3DS? It seems relatively simple to implement and a huge number of people enjoy the challenges it sets.

JH: We don’t believe the vast majority of people who want a 3DS or who will play 3DS want an achievement system.
