Blasting in three dimensions

First-person shooter Conduit 2 isn't even out on Wii yet, but already developer High Voltage Software is looking at transporting the series across to Nintendo's next console: 3DS.

Speaking to Eurogamer, High Voltage's Eric Nofsinger said:

Now that we're winding things down a lot of our resources are on pulling this technology over to 3DS. We're still early. The resolution is definitely lower, but the screen real estate is smaller so it balances out. We've not had a lot of severe optimisation yet, but we're going to be able to have something very close to this [Conduit 2] on the 3DS probably by GDC.

With development at such an early stage it's likely this is simply an engine test rather than a bona fide plan to bring Conduit 2 or prequel The Conduit to 3DS, but it could certainly pave the way for a High Voltage-developed first person shooter on the console.
