Nintendo’s been denying rumors of a brand new home console for just about so long as we will remember, but occasionally those crafty execs slip — accidentally or intentionally letting us know that exciting things are inside the works. Well, last we heard from Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, a stereoscopic 3D console was at the table , but Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime just swept that notion under the rug. “We’ve not said publicly what a higher thing for us will probably be in the house console space, but in keeping with what we’ve learned on 3-D, likely, that won’t be it,” he told CNN, prompting a legion of 3DTV owners to assume that their favorite Nintendo characters cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. Why would Nintendo dismiss 3D for home gaming at the exact same day that its 3D handheld set a sales record ? Simply put, the corporate doesn’t think the glasses-free 3DTV market is prepared for such applications. Ah well — guess we’ll just ought to accept a Wii HD , then.
