In the question-and-answer session after the E3 announced 3DS, Nintendo president Iwata said that because of the 3DS graphics processing performance compared to the previous generation of the Palm machine has significantly improved, to maximize the performance of the game's development will be correspondingly improved, or even close to the Wii game development costs. "If the game developer decides to try to use the 3DS graphics processing power to the maximum, then the development cost will be much higher than the current DS handheld, and may be close to the Wii's software development costs," said Iwata. "The Wii's game development costs are much lower than those of Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony PS3," he said. In general, a high-definition platform game costs more than 30 million dollars, but the Wii game development costs only One-third or One-fourth of the former, the console game is less. Because Nintendo has great influence in the handheld market, when the 3DS announced already has a lot of game support, many developers are also for the new handheld design game. 3DS a big advantage is that it can support the naked eye 3D viewing, which also makes many people think 3D visual effect will be the main cause of the increase in the cost of game development. But Rock Iwata tells us that this is not the case: "From the point of view of game development, the 3D effect manufacturing does not significantly increase the overall game development costs." "Even ignoring 3D game compatibility costs, the current announced" biochemical Crisis: Revelation "," The Legend of Zelda: The Flute "and other 3DS games cost is still not low. Facing the problem that the development cost of the Palm machine game is more and more high, the rock Iwata says the developer is not every game needs to invest a lot of money. Rock Iwata said: "I believe that developers will still use the same resources as the development of home computers to develop handheld games, players will be satisfied with this game."
