Piracy has prevented Nintendo from aggressively pursuing China. The advent of full downloadable games may be changing that, however.

Nintendo had a label for DS games that skewed towards a more casual audience. So where are the 3DS "Touch Generations" games? They're coming, but first the hardcore needs to be better taken care of.

While Nintendo promises not to engage in microtransactions, the company won't block third-parties from doing the same on their platform. "We have no intention to decline it," Nintendo's Satoru Iwata said.

Capcom's long-running courtroom adventure is getting yet another installment. The publisher announced a fifth entry to the Ace Attorney series, in celebration for the franchise's 10th anniversary.

Likely succumbing to fan demand, Capcom has announced a new price point for Resident Evil Revelations: a standard $39.99, instead of the previously-announced $50.

Sony's offering a "launch day bundle" for early adopters of the Vita. Included for free with the 3G system: an 8GB Vita memory card, one month of 3G access, and a free PlayStation Network game.

Nintendo will be showing off the Wii U in its "final format" at E3 later this year. The system will also be on sale "in time for the year-end sales season."

Nintendo has been selling the 3DS at a loss, but that's expected to change in the next fiscal year. "In the first half of the next fiscal term, we are now anticipating to get out of the situation that we sell the hardware below cost."

Nintendo has announced plans to implement NFC (near field communication) technology into the Wii U controller, allowing "cards and figurines" to exchange data with the system, and even enable direct payments.

"There will be more and more highly-anticipated titles for the Nintendo 3DS," Nintendo president Satoru Iwata promised. One of them is a brand new 2D Mario game.
