"We were not able to launch Nintendo 3DS at a time when a sufficient number of strong software titles were ready," Nintendo President Satoru Iwata told his company's investors. The executive did note that part of the problem is Nintendo feels preserving a game's is more important, which can often lead to extended, unintentional delays if a title doesn't meet high standards. "Because we are doing this, we cannot constantly provide the market with big hit titles,"

the company is looking into developing more StreetPass software for the system. The executive noted many fans might have started not carrying their 3DS with them, having completed StreetPass-based Puzzle Swap and Find Mii mini-games that were included with the 3DS. Iwata said that designer and executive Shigeru Miyamoto has been asking for progress on projects himself.

Lastly, Iwata commented on the consistency of 3D effects between various 3DS games. An investor noted that routinely third party games do not feature 3D enhancements that are as good as Nintendo's own efforts. Iwata disagreed with that opinion, stating that he thought some third parties had done well. However, he did note that Nintendo is going to make more of an effort in providing developers with "effective support," resulting in better products for consumers.
