' Keiji Infune has said said he chose the 3DS for King of Pirates because he believes its userbase will definitely expand and because he wanted to make something at the same level as Nintendo’s games targeted at a younger audience. He stated that the fun part of the combat will be choosing which of the game’s three-hundred characters to use in battle and that the game is being planned as a trilogy because the story is too long to fit in one game. Even so, each game will have its own proper conclusion. ' from nintendo3dsblog
