Super-Stable 3D an eleventh hour addition to New 3DS thanks to Miyamoto

The new ‘Super-Stable 3D’ in the New Nintendo 3DS is one of the best reasons to upgrade to the latest Nintendo 3DS model, but what if it didn’t have it?

That was almost reality until Shigeru Miyamoto stepped and upended the tea table. This is the expressions given to Miyamoto when he comes into a project late into a project and changes something huge.

Speaking to Time Magazine, Satoru Iwata said in the interview that the New Nintendo 3DS was almost done and ready for production, without the new 3D screens we all love. Until Mr Miyamoto stepped in;

“The hardware developers had designed a piece of hardware that they felt was at the final stage of prototyping, and they were bringing it to us for approval to begin moving forward with plans for manufacturing. But Mr. Miyamoto had seen that super-stable 3D just one week before, and he asked “Why aren’t we putting that in this system? If we don’t put this in it, there’s no point in making the system.”

The engineers at Nintendo were unsure, asking Iwata “Are we really going to do this?”

“Nintendo is a company of Kyoto craftsman, and what we don’t want to do, is if we know we can make something better, we don’t want to leave that behind,” Iwata told the engineers.

“So we were able to bring the super-stable 3D to reality by looking technically at what we can do to solve those challenges and finding those steps along the way to make it happen. This is where my background in technology is quite helpful, because it means that the engineers can’t trick me.”

Here’s a question, would you have upgraded to the New Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS XL if it didn’t have the new super stable 3D?
