Games both new and previously-announced constituted the majority of Nintendo’s pre-TGS event. It did have some news about the system itself, though there were no major announcements regarding a redesign or anything quite so dramatic.
Several pieces of software on the system are going to be improved. In addition to the existing ability to take 3D photos, an update will allow for 3D videos to be captured with the system’s cameras. The StreetPass Mii Plaza will be getting upgraded to provide additional things to do for those who (unlike me) have already managed to conquer what it has to offer. The eShop, too, will be getting some sort of improvements, but Satoru Iwata wasn’t specific in saying what changes might be introduced.
In hardware news, just days after Nintendo of America announced a pink DSi XL, and just days after the flame red 3DS went on sale in the United States, Iwata revealed a pink 3DS for Japan. It’ll be available on October 20.
