Here's Kingdom Hearts 3D:

http://www.khinsider.com/news/Nomura-Interview-in-Nintendo-Power-2285

It was because of 3D.

As I said they all where, and that might even include Monster Hunter 3G & 4 which where both being made in 2010 like Resident Evil: Mercenaries 3D & Mega Man Legends 3 (canceled, unless that new Mega Man game they mentioned turns out to be this uncancel, since the prequel was finish and the retail game was already 29% developed) & Resident Evil: Revelations & Super Street Fighter 4 3D edition & Tales of the Abyss 3D & etc.

I never said every 3DS is because of 3D, but so many of the good ones where. And even the guarantee ones like Mario Kart 7 & Pokémon X & Y wouldn't have such great new gameplay mechanics without 3D to inspire them to really come up with some cool ideas since its being played in 3D.

Here's my source for Castlevania Lords of Shadow Mirror of Fate:

http://www.nintendo3dsblog.com/castlevania-mirror-of-fate-could-have-come-to-the-vita-but-didnt-because-of-3d/

Ill try to look for sources of other games, I think I start with Kingdom Hearts since I also remember that one as vividly.

He also said in an interview around the same time

"When nudged on the possibility of the HD build releasing in full one day, Cox added, “Absolutely, yeah. We would consider it. We want as many people to play it as possible. Obviously we have an exclusivity deal with Nintendo right now though and they’ve been very supportive of the product.”"

Certainly seems like their motivation extends beyond their love of 3D.  Also 6 months after this they announced it was coming to PS3 and 360.

But it was going to be on the Vita instead of the 3DS. And it's Koonami who decided to make it exclusive , and then they later change their minds since they had originally did it in 1080p to make it look even more better as a 3DS exclusive, and the thought was really about wanting to reach as many people as possible with what they consider to be a classic-like Castlevania game.

Pretty sure it was initially meant to be an HD game not Vita before being moved to the 3DS.  Like I said, it seems more likely that the exclusivity deal and support played more of a role than 3D.  Also I am sure they want to reach more people, but I'd imagine that is because the initial release has only done 94k, and less that people just have to play this classic game.

He never says the game wouldnt be made without 3D. He says he was excited about 3D and it played a role. He never says if it werent for 3D this game wouldnt be made.

I got my 3DS last year with Tale of the Abyss and Kid Icarus Uprising/Resident Evil.


But have you played any 3DS games released in March 2013 & up?

Also, in Resident Evil: Revelations, did you go to Options and change the Depth from Normal to Very Strong, and also change the Aim from whatever it's default setting was to Gyro?

Im guessing it's safe to say you will get Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate, since it's not on any other system.

I know it's a 3DS & Vita exclusive, but only 5 million Vita's have sold and a lot of people either sold their Vita (like back to places like GameStop) or they traded it in for a 3DS XL (after trading their small 3DS for the Vita more earlier before this).

But he also says that he thought of how a Kingdom Hearts game would look like in 3D and that is why he started working on Kingdom Hearts 3D. (his statement)
