It'll be back to the number one seller.

FYI I had to got to HTML link to copy & paste this quotes, because its the only way I can copy & paste when these tablet ads at the very bottom pop up. And closing them diesnt fix the problem.

In Sonic Racing Transformed on 3DS there was frame rate issues before firmware 5.0.0-11, but then they fixed it with more CPU power via firmware 5.0

But you still needed to play the game for 1 to 20 hours to fix the frame rate to not drop anymore. So you basically had to break the game in.

If by peer you mean next gen, well Nintendo has a reputation of 7 years as a formula. Just like their supporting of an old system for 2 years after the new system comes out is another one of their guarantee ways of doing things.

4 is the maximum number of times they seem to do it in any generation. And 7 years tends to be the lifespam of each handheld of theirs.

You don't get moderated just by linking a news article that is related to the 3DS Homebrew channel!

Cooking Mama confirmed for being nearly as creepy as The Villager.

it's just a news site that says the homebrew channel got delayed!
No need to worry!

The keyword here is "if" of course..

A really interesting interview with Reggie about Amiibo's and third party support:

"Nintendo announced Friday that 12 characters will initially be part of its upcoming toy-game franchise set for release later this year. In addition to the "Pokemon" and "Legend of Zelda" leading men, the starting line-up will include Mario, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Samus Aran, Kirby, Fox McCloud, Marth, the "Wii Fit" Trainer and the Villager from "Animal Crossing."

The figures in the "amiibo" toy-game line will each cost $12.99 and work in tandem with several of the Japanese gaming giant's upcoming titles, beginning with "Super Smash Bros."

"We wanted to make sure that the breadth of characters we had for the initial 'amiibo' line-up supported the fan favorites, as well as showcase the variety of people Nintendo speaks to — from kids to adults," Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime said in an interview. "For example, you've got a character like Marth from the 'Fire Emblem' series. We thought exposing Marth to a wider collection of consumers through 'amiibo' made a ton of sense, but, of course, we had to have Mario, Princess Peach and Donkey Kong in that initial line-up, as well."

Similar to Activision's "Skylanders" and "Disney Infinity," the characters' virtual histories will be stored on the plastic figures and transmitted through the Wii U GamePad, the controller for the Wii U console that features a touchscreen and near field communication (NFC) capabilities. Unlike the Activision Blizzard Inc. and Walt Disney Co. franchises, the "amiibo" figures will work with several games from different genres and won't be required to play the games.

"Our vision is to have these 'amiibo' figures be your playable friends that allow you to enhance the overall experience," said Fils-Aime. "It's a different approach from Activision and Disney, which is more to unlock something in the game. You're going to want to have your 'amiibo' figure because it's going to allow you to enhance your skills, upgrade your character and take the experience over to a friend's house."

Nintendo first unveiled "amiibo" at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in June. The company plans to release more figures over the next year and include "amiibo" functionality in future games, as well as compatibility with its handheld Nintendo 3DS system.

The Kyoto, Japan-based company is hoping the figurines will help boost its bottom line and sales of its beleaguered Wii U console, which has been on the rise since the May release of "Mario Kart 8." Despite the success of the latest installment in the cartoony Nintendo racing series, Wii U sales still trail behind the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles from rivals Sony Corp. and Microsoft Corp.

"Call of Duty" and "Assassin's Creed" publishers Activision and Ubisoft Entertainment recently said they wouldn't bring the new installments of those popular series to the Wii U later this year.

"In the end, I want the very best of every single publisher's content on our platform," said Fils-Aime. "We believe we'll get there as we grow the install base of the system. Make no mistake: The consumer knows they can get high-quality games on the Wii U console. That's why our business is up almost double over last year."

Nintendo will be showing off upcoming games like "Super Smash Bros.," ''Hyrule Warriors" and "Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker" at PAX Prime, a four-day celebration of gaming that kicks off Friday in Seattle."

@Kaizar:

No, i meant Peer, as the guy who works at IGN. He was the one talked about new HW at E3, during one of the NVC show before E3.
Maybe on the Handheld side they could make it last 7 years. Nowdays, i don`t think they are able to do that anymore, be it because mobile is a fierce competitor and because they can`t really spare staff to develop for older platforms when they need them for the new generation.

A wise move. But I don't think that RGE would do that.

I actually do like Cooking Mama, especially 2. :P It's kinda kiddy-ish, but it makes good use of the touchscreen.
