BioWare: Nintendo ‘trumped everyone’ with 3DS

Recommended Videos

The 3DS is not short of fans, and it seems that even PC and console mainstay BioWare can’t fail to be impressed by Nintendo’s promising new handheld. From a business perspective, vice president Greg Zeschuck has expressed high amusement at just how Nintendo used the portable system to own its competition. 

“Again, it’s hilarious that Nintendo is doing it because once again they’ve trumped everyone in a clever way,” claims Zeschuck. “Everyone else is doing what they already did [with motion control] five years ago and here they are out in front again.”

This was definitely my thought when I left Nintendo’s E3 press conference last month. While Microsoft and Sony fell over themselves to shameless copy motion control and dress it up in “unique” packages, Nintendo undercut them and went for the “hardcore” consumer while its rivals’ backs were turned. Pretty smart, and also kind of scary. 

Nintendo is some sort of Dr. Doom supervillain at this point.
