Nintendo Keynote Announces Netflix and Super Mario on Nintendo 3DS

It has been announced this morning at GDC (Game Developers Conference) that the Nintendo 3DS will be getting Netflix and Super Mario.

Nintendo stated that Netflix would be heading to the Nintendo 3DS late in the summers. Additionally, the team behind Super Mario Galaxy would be creating a new game specifically for the glasses free Nintendo 3DS.

It turned out that at the same time Nintendo were announcing their 3DS additions, Apple were launching the iPad 2 across the street. Nintendo president closed his keynote speach with a direct shot at the App Store.

“The objectives of smartphones and social network platforms are not at all like ours,” he said. “For them, content is something created by someone else. Their goal is just to gather as much software as possible because quantity is what makes the money flow. Quantity is how they profit. The value of video game software does not matter to them.”

“Is making high-value games a top priority, or not?” he asked the assembled crowd of game developers.
