Game director Todd Howard had this to say:
This is historic for both longtime Nintendo fans and all others who are undecided as to whether or not taking the plunge and pre-ordering the portable/home console hybrid. Netting a third party game of this quality is a huge win for Nintendo as it tries to once again take on Sony and Microsoft in the war of supremacy of game systems.
This time is different, however. With all its’ new features AND a clear focus on netting previously unobtainable third party titles, Nintendo is clearly trying to recapture its’ old spot as premier destination for console gamers everywhere.
