So developers have went nuts about the 3DS!! So will there be Multi-plat...

So developers have gone abit nuts about the 3DS. Well the 3DS is similar to the GC and the Wii is pretty much 2x GC duct-taped together so should we expect to alot of Multi-platform games between these 2 consoles from 3rd party developers?! Just a food for thought. Its seems a logical (money wise) to spread games over as many consoles as possible.

That would be freakin' beast if you could play gamecube games or gameboy and gameboy color games on 3DS.

once the novelty of the 3D has worn off then yeah i don't see why not.

Not sure about that but I do expect plenty of 3DS/PSP2 multiplat

Hmm I doubt it but maybe. I am guessing the PSP2 will be more powerful than the 3DS. It wont be as big of a leap as the DS to PSP was, but it will be big enough to not allow for multiplats. Not that it will be better, i am super excited for the 3DS. But then again if the PSP2 is more powerful it will either be lacking something severely or it will cost more than the 3DS and that wouldnt be too smart on their part. I am guessing the 3DS will launch at $250 in NA, and $300 for the PSP2 in NA.

Doubt it. They'll be designed for a handheld and 3D, neither of which the Wii is.locopatho

I can see a lot of Wii games going to the 3DS. I don't see it going the other way though.

the system is so different i doubt we'll be seeing ports. remakes? sure. but ports and multiplats that actually resemble the console versions? probably not.BrunoBRS

they could do some gamecube stuff fairly easy, really the only major barrier they'd have to cross gameplay-wise is the fact that the 3DS only has one joystick

Doesn't matter if the PSP2 is more powerful and the 3DS is no push over either. With the DS and PSP, the DS had games running on two screens, using the touch screen and in a different format 4:3 compared to the PSP 16:9.

Now both of them will have one main screen and be in the same format and I wouldn't be surprised if the PSP2 ends up having glasses free 3D by the time it comes out. And both of them will have dual-analog, 3DS will have it's touch-screen which can act as 2nd one (already shown with RE:R I believe)and the PSP2 is pretty much confirmed to have it. As far as the graphical differences goes, I don't think developers will care. They're gonna make the game look the best they can on 3DS and then port it on the PSP2. Theres just way too much money to make than to be bothered by something like that. I don't think any of them will want to ignore the huge install base of either handhelds from now on.

I can totally see KH3DS for exemple, eventually being announced for PSP2 or Square-Enix announcing the next FF has a handheld multiplat instead of a console one. Just look at how the DS and PSP are trouncing the Wii/PS3/360 in Japan and outside(well maybe not the PSP in that situation but the DS is king of the world).

Seriously, 3DS/PSP2 multiplat are gonna be a gold mine for developers, especially in Japan. Still not sure how the rest of the world will treat the PSP2 tho.
