n-Space Talk 3DS And DS Future

Here’s a portion of n-Space’s interview with IGN talking about 3DS and DS:

IGN: So how about that 3DS, huh? Ready to hunker down and develop on that?

n-Space: The word most often used to describe the 3DS by those fortunate enough to experience it at E3 is “magical.” We feel this is completely justified and that it’s a home run for Nintendo and for developers like n-Space that have been dedicated supporters for many years.

IGN: Speaking of developing on the 3DS, do you see there being an extended transitional shift between the DS and 3DS in the same way there was with the Game Boy Advance to Nintendo DS? Or do you see developers dropping DS like a hot potato in favor of Nintendo’s new console?

n-Space: As with any new system, the types and number of games are really going to depend on the reaction of the gaming public. The DS has a tremendous installed base and the backward compatibility of the 3DS will definitely make the DS format viable for years to come. Like in previous platform transitions (think PS2), I expect to see an ongoing market for DS games, with their budgets and retail prices decreasing as leading developers move quickly to the new platform.
