Nintendo Wants the Unity Engine on the 3DS

After this weeks footage of the latest and greatest gaming engines from the GDC some 3DS owners may be feeling a little left out. Well, it seems that Nintendo are in talks to bring the Unity Engine to the 3DS as Damon Baker, Senior Manager of Marketing at Nintendo of America, reveals inside.

"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."
