From an interview between CVG and Cevat Yerli, Founder, CEO & President of Crytek.

What do you make of the 3DS? Has it affected your view of developing for Nintendo systems?

I think the 3DS is an quite awesome piece of hardware. At E3, I got a demonstration from... it's probably better not to say, but quite a senior person at Nintendo. That demo showed me a very powerful piece of graphics hardware, as well as a very interesting user-experience.

I think they have a very interesting platform on their hands. They have some problems here and there but they are aware and it's nothing that cannot be ironed out.

I think the price point they're targeting is very interesting. Everything looks like a winner on that platform. I actually wouldn't be surprised if there is some high-end gaming happening on that platform because of the raw power of the hardware.

Would you consider bringing Crysis to 3DS?

Whether we would like to or not depends on the platform itself. My initial contact with it is just that we got to see the platform at E3, going forward it may be very well that we look into putting the Cry Engine on that platform. But again this is initially thought only - nothing has been decided. There is an opportunity with Nintendo 3DS and Crytek.

What does he mean everything looks like a winner? The price is ridiculous and it's games look terrible to me imo.

So they were a little bit more impressed than Epic, huh...

When was the price announced? Have you played the games? Don't make groundless assertions.

Well anything that is not on a Sony thing looks terrible for you :P

Edit: imo

Oh, please put it on 3DS! I'd love to see what it would look like!

Well, unlike Epic... they did actually get to look at the hardware rather then randomly speculate off rumors.

Gotta say... surprising response from Crytech though.

Though, meaningless to me, since i don't like any of their games.

its nice too see he is impressed with the hardware and after his company takes a closer look, it seems one of their games could make the jump.   cool   :)

Reading this makes that previous crazy thread seem even more crazy.

It's funny though because of the "Well no duh, what would Crytech say" posts.
