Stereoscopic 3D presents some interesting design challenges for developers, especially when it comes to the upcoming 3DS. Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto is excited for how the 3DS will affect the new Mario game on the system.
Of course, we are working on a Mario product for the Nintendo 3DS, I can tell you that, said Miyamoto. One of the things we have looked at, you know when you are in a 3D world but on a 2D screen it is difficult sometimes to tell distance, whether an object you are looking at is in the foreground, in the background, is the object above you Sometimes it’s a little bit harder.
So it’s going to be really exciting for us to make that easier for the player to understand using the Nintendo 3DS technology he added. And for the first time ever Mario will be on a handheld system with an analog stick for controls. That’s new.
