Far Cry 3 And The Stranger In A Strange Land I’ve already declared that Iwata Asks is the greatest thing on the internet, but this just proves it. Steel Diver originally began development as a DSi game – that’s pretty much common knowledge. What isn’t common knowledge is the fact that Shigeru Miyamoto actually withheld the fact that the 3DS was being created, in order to focus his team on the game itself instead of gimmicks. Miyamoto, you sly old fox!
After being delayed due to the Tohoku Earthquake, Steel Diver is finally getting a release date in Japan. The game will be out May 12 in Japan. [via Nintendo]
If you’ve been following the 3DS Diaries, then you’ll know that I’m currently suffering from a severe lack of games on my 3DS. Thankfully there are more on the way – it’s just a matter of when. Pilotwings Resort arrives on April 14, and we’ve just gotten word that Steel Diver will hit shelves May 12.
The 3DS launch game Steel Diver was first shown last June, back when it seemed like a simple, solid submarine side-scroller that might satisfy someone who wants a more traditional video game from their next Nintendo handheld.

I want 3DS games like Steel Diver, games that aren’t from familiar franchises and aren’t just the side-scrolling submarine adventures I thought they were. Watch as the game turns the 3DS into a motion-sensitive virtual periscope.
