yeah , its most certainly have to do with 3D , probably a mascot with different abilites on each dimension
kinda like 2 face you know? , if you look here he will look like this and if you look there he will look like that.
Dr Dimension? , Dim? , Tridom?, Tride The hero of Dimensions?
or
maybe he can tackle the more realistic looking characters and make a loveable team of explorers like Nathan Drake and Lara Croft, of course make them more appealing to wider audience , not being cheesy but being more unique and colorful like Samus but not in space.
or
A person who have a split personality ,kinda like yugi-oh , but can jump between the "inner dimension" and the "Outer Dimension" of course with the 3D as the gimmick.
or
make a JRPG Anime type of character that is aimed at older teens, not pokemon like but a little more broad, like Final Fantasy characters but have a unique atributes in them that would show "Nintendo" , like a more older Earthbound
