Unity Technologies announced Unity support for the New 3DS during the Unite 2015 Tokyo event in Japan today, according to event attendee Mark MacDonald, 8-4 Ltd executive director.

Details about the support is scarce at the moment and we have reached out to Nintendo for more information.Revealing that there were more than 50 games utilizing the Unity engine for Wii U, Nintendo of America executive Damon Baker previously mentioned last March that Nintendo is “looking at” bringing Unity to 3DS.

Unity Technologies entered a partnership with Nintendo for Wii U development late 2012, allowing millions of registered developers to bring their existing titles to the platform. Nintendo provided Unity Pro tools to digital developers for free as part of its Wii U developers program.
