    Nintendo 3DS also has a function called Activity Log so that you can confirm how many foot steps you have made by carrying Nintendo 3DS with you and how long you have played with your games.

  •  

    You can check the number of steps with Nintendo 3DS and play time each day.  You can also check how long you have played with one software title and you can see a graph of your foot steps.

    Nintendo 3DS has some cameras.  There is one inside.

  •  

    When you close the unit, there are also two cameras outside.
    By using these two cameras, Nintendo 3DS can simultaneously take separate images: one for your right eye and one for your left eye, to capture 3D photos, which can be viewed on the spot.

  •  

    We could not include this information in the video, but Nintendo 3DS, like Nintendo DS, embodies camera and sound functions.  .
    One of the functions to merge different faces by using the cameras inside and outside at the same time has become quite popular among the developers.  Please take a look!

    We tried to combine the faces of me and Mr. Miyamoto.  We just stood by facing each other and captured our faces within the circles by pressing a button.  (pause)
    Here it is, Mr. Iwamoto. As you can see, it’s quite easy.

    For Nintendo 3DS too, we are preparing for the digital content download sales.
    As you know, we’ve been doing download sales for Wii and Nintendo DSi hardware, but they have room for improvements.  We cannot say that Wii Shopping Channel and Nintendo DSi Shop have provided the users with a sufficiently easy and accessible interface, and we were not able to run the optimal shops which have both abilities to promote and sell the products in one place.
    For Nintendo 3DS, we have integrated promotional and sales functions.  If you can imagine that it is as if we are now combining the functions of Wii Shopping Channel and that of Nintendo Channel.  We have also significantly recreated the structure.  Switching from one screen to another has become much quicker, so you will notice the quick response.  For any download business to grow, it must be important for consumers to be able to enjoy window shopping even when they do not have any particular product in mind.  Quick and easy access to the shop is, therefore, very important.
    With Nintendo 3DS, the software you have downloaded will be stored in your SD memory card.  The package of Nintendo 3DS will include a 2 Giga Byte SD memory card.  In case it is not large enough, you can use your larger SD memory card as the expanded storage medium for the hardware.
    We are also making the system so that Nintendo DSiWare software can be transferred to Nintendo 3DS.

  •  

    Similar to Wii, Nintendo 3DS will have a Virtual Console function to purchase classic software.  We are planning to start by making software for Game Boy and Game Boy Color available.

  •  

    Other than the Virtual Console software, for Nintendo 3DS, download sales shall be made available for the classic game titles with the new 3D looks.  Among the classic titles, there are some software titles which have significantly different effects on the users when they are remade for 3D viewing.  As an experiment, when Xevious from Bandai-Namco was made 3D, we felt that it significantly increased its value.  To make the classic titles 3D will not be as easy as providing Virtual Console software, but we are eager to make them available for the download sales.  You can also purchase Nintendo DSiWare, and we will sell new download titles for Nintendo 3DS.

    At the end of the previous video, you saw this scene. 
    What you are seeing is an image where Nintendo 3DS, in its sleep mode, is automatically sending and receiving a variety of information and content through the Wi-Fi access point in a house.
