Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, explaining Project Iris in his latest Iwata Asks developer roundtable segment on WarioWare D.I.Y.. I wonder why the company used Iris as a codename? Perhaps the prototype features a DSi-like camera? Was Iwata just a huge Goo Goo Dolls fan? Maybe we’ll learn more about the device in a future panel similar to last year’s GDC reveal of Project Atlantis.
[Update: I did more research, and it looks like the project was named after the Japanese Iris plant, or Iris Ensata. This is evident by the name of Intelligent Systems’s official DS emulator provided with DS development kits, Ensata.]
