3DS launch “Worst-Case Scenario?”
Nintendo’s launch date and price point for 3DS is a “worst-case scenario,” according to Jay Defibaught, equities research director at MF Global FXA Securities in Tokyo. Defibaught says he had hoped for an earlier 3DS launch, a lower price — hopefully under 20,000 yen, and a possible 3G network connection, which would enable it to be more competitive with products like the iPhone.

Final Fantasy VII On 3DS?
Hajime Tabata, director of Final Fantasy Agito XIII and Parasite Eve: The 3rd Birthday says he’s interested in doing a remake of mobile phone game Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII for 3DS. Before Crisis, a Japan-only action RPG featuring the Turks from Final Fantasy VII, has never yet been released in English, so a Western version is long overdue. Plus, 96.8% of all gamers believe Final Fantasy VII, and therefore, anything related, is the most fantastic thing EVER, so having a title related to such would be big score for Nintendo.
