Nintendo talks 3DS Vs. Apple App Store - quantity vs. quality
The following information comes from Nintendo's Scott Moffitt...
On Apple's quantity vs. 3DS' quality software...
"With software, as with most things, there's a distinct difference between quantity 'n quality. The website 148apps.biz recently calculated that there be currently 139,000 different games actively available on the [Apple] app store. One hundred 'n thirty-nine thousand. vast number. That number be way too big t' wrap yer head around, so I try t' think about it this way. If I wanted t' spend just fifteen minutes sampling each one a those games, I'd be at it non-AVAST! for four years. that be a ton a caffeine. Obviously there be good games available for mobile platforms, but the point be, the Nintendo 3DS has a record a quality that be hard t' challenge."
- there be 49 games for the 3DS with a Metacritic score a 75 or higher, 11 with 85 or higher, 'n 5 above 90
The following info comes from Nintendo's Bill Trinen...
"The stuff ye're seeing on the 3DS eShop, it be all kind a... unique ideas. Anything from Sakura Samurai, which be a game I be a vast fan a that came out over a year ago on the eShop, 'n be kind a one a those examples a some a the early unique content from independent developers t' something like Dillon's Rolling Western, or Mario & Donkey Kong.
'n in each a those games, they each have a tremendous amount a depth, just in terms a the volume a gameplay, but they all also have really great precision controls that be really hard t' do on other mobile devices. But really, the content that we be looking at, it be all about, 'what be the unique ideas that really leverage the hardware?' 'n that, t' me, be why ye would want t' come 'n play games on the 3DS. they be gonna be unique experiences, they be gonna be things ye can't play elsewhere, 'n [they be] gonna have a whole lot a content."
