Unity is een ontwikkel omgeving waarin je zowel 2D als 3D content kan maken en is al een tijdje uit voor de Wii U, maar de 3DS heeft die ondersteuning nog niet. Zal daar binnenkort verandering in komen? Volgens de marketing manager van Nintendo of America is Nintendo bezig om ernaar te kijken of dit mogelijk is. Op de GDC zei hij het volgende:
“We’ve had those discussions and we are definitely looking at that. Our priority was to get the Wii U build [of Unity] up and done and ready. Because we need a test environment for it, it’s taken a while for Unity to get finalized on Wii U, so that we can actually test against it. So that has been made available now and that is why we’ve got all of these [game] candidates waiting in the wings that are just going through the submission process at this point.”
“Now, we can move on to other platforms and see how we can make those compatible, either with Unity or with additional middleware providers as well.”
“So, 3DS is definitely an exciting platform for us, because we’ve got a huge install base, and we want to take advantage of that. We’ve got a lot of developers that want to take advantage of it. So, we’re working towards that as well. But nothing to announce at this time.”
