The last two days have been full of Nintendo news regarding the Nintendo 3DS and the Wii U.

To start, the company announced the arrival of the upcoming Wii U console for this year’s holiday season. While there is no exact date for the launch of the console, it will be released during that period in Japan, Europe, Australia and the US. It seems like the company is planning a super-effective (like Pokémon fans say) release of its new console worldwide.

The house of Mario also released a preliminary schedule of games for this year, with most new games appearing on the 3DS, and officially mentioned plans for Nintendo Network. NN will offer similar services seen on XBL and PSN such as digital distribution of games and software content (full retail and downloable games), and competitions.

For retro gamers who have had lots of fun with Super Mario 3D Land, they’ll be happy to know a new 2D side-scrolling Super Mario game is in the works. No date yet announced, only, sometime during the next fiscal year (which starts in April).

With regards to the Wii U, Iwata mentioned a feature in the tablet no one was expecting. NFC, short for Near-Field Communication, is a feature used on new smartphones using radio frequencies to establish communication among devices at close distances. Such technology could be used to obtain information from nearby cards or devices. There would be no need to enter numbers from pre-paid cards. According to the Nintendo IR release, “it will become possible to create cards and figurines that can electronically read and write data via noncontact NFC and to expand the new play format in the video game world. Adoption of this functionality will enable various other possibilities such as using it as a means of making micropayments.”

Much more information is available on Nintendo of Japan’s web site in English: Corporate Management Policy Briefing/Third Quarter Financial Results Briefing [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/120127/index.html].

Los últimos dos días han estado llenos de noticias Nintendo con respecto al Nintendo 3DS y al Wii U.

Para empezar, la compañía anunció la llegada de la próxima consola Wii U para la temporada de vacaciones de este año . Aunque no hay fecha exacta para el lanzamiento de la consola, se estrenará durante ese período en Japón, Europa , Australia y los EE.UU. Parece que la compañía está planeando un lanzamiento super efectivo (como dicen los fans de Pokémon) de su nueva consola en todo el mundo.

La casa de Mario también dio a conocer un programa preliminar dejuegos para este año, con la mayoría de los nuevos juegos apareciendo en el 3DS, y oficialmente se mencionó los planes de la Red Nintendo [Nintendo Network]. NN ofrecerá servicios similares vistos en PSN y XBL tales como la distribución digital de juegos y contenido de software ( juegos completos al por menor y descargables) y competiciones.

Para los jugadores retro que han tenido un montón de diversión con Super Mario 3D Land, estarán felices de saber de un nuevo juego de desplazamiento lateral en 2D de un juego Super Mario está en marcha. No hay fecha todavía anunciada, sólo que en algún momento durante el próximo año fiscal (que comienza en abril).

En cuanto a la Wii U, Iwata mencionó una característica de la tableta que nadie esperaba. NFC, siglas de Near-Field Communication, es una característica utilizada en nuevos teléfonos inteligentes que usan las frecuencias de radio para establecer comunicación entre dispositivos a corta distancia. Dicha tecnología podría ser utilizada para obtener información de tarjetas o dispositivos cercanos. No habría necesidad de introducir números de tarjetas pre-pagadas. Según el comunicado IR de Nintendo, “será posible la creación de tarjetas y figuras que por vía electrónica puedan leer y escribir datos a través de NFC sin contacto y para ampliar el nuevo formato de juegos en el mundo de los videojuegos . La adopción de esta funcionalidad permitirá a otras posibilidades como el uso tales como un medio para hacer micropagos”.
