See my Mario Kart 9 vs. Mario Kart 9 + 10 example. 

Hardware will be a non-issue for Nintendo in the future in the sense that lets say you only own and only want a Nintendo handheld. Won't touch a Nintendo console with 100 foot pole. You will still be able to play the same Zelda game as the "console" version, maybe just at a lower resolution.

Nintendo will make 1 Zelda game and it will work on their tablet, mini-handheld, home dock, etc. etc. (Iwata mentioned maybe even more than 2 hardware lines ... it's up to the consumer to decide). That's a huge change for Nintendo. 

Okay, when I first quoted you, you didn't say that. I see what you are saying now.

Ugh, I'm not sure how well that will work, though. Especially for some of the games that are much more HH oriented. (Like Pokemon, or Animal Crossing.)


It will work fine. If your game is good it should play on any format and play well. It's up to the consumer to decide whether they want to play a longer session game or a shorter one IMO ... games intended for home console play like Mario 64, Zelda: OoT, Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid (all which I can play on my DS/3DS or Vita) play just fine and dandy. 

As long as you give the consumer the option of a sleep mode. 

I think it's like a movie ... if you movie is good it should play well on a 50 foot screen or an tiny 8 inch screen too ... it's the storytelling that matters.
