That's what I suspect, since this doesn't look to be fake right now. Not like Nintendo's regional European subsidiaries have never released inaccurate/unconfirmed information before.

Why are some of the titles bolded while others aren't?http://www.viciojuegos.com/noticia/Asistimos-a-la-presentacion-de-Paper-Mario-Sticker-Star/30658
It seems Nintendo showed this slide at the end of the presentation
Edit: Oh wait, they're trying to alternate. What a weird presentation style :/
Well, it IS Level 5, so it wouldn't surprise me if they tried to get some real gameplay in or at least strong enough presentation that it leans closer to Heavy Rain than, say, 999's novel bits. Though I do imagine that to get the "reading only" games you'd need some breakout titles, especially since not many came before (and many before hand were kind of pandering anyway as I recall, which I certainly wouldn't care for)
Well, like said I think Ex Troopers was "no plans" which isn't really the same as "will not bring out here", while Bravely Default was even more optimistic there with the guy talkinga bout looking at how to bring it over here. But yeah, it's TOO good of a list, at best I expect about two of them stay in Japan.
I think it's just to keep the names distinct, notice how it switches between each title reliably?
I wish Time Travelers would come out here, but that list seems too good to be true.
Well, Harada did show interest in getting Project X-zone localized and he was kind of confident he could get it greenlit. Capcom also localized Tatsunoko VS Capcom and that also had licensing issues.

Because some titles straddle two lines, bolding alternate titles means they don't get mixed up.
Bring us the good news.

I haven't been following up on this, but why did the game bomb? I remember there was lots of hype for it a few years back.

Yeah, that just struck me, it was hard to see at first with the way the titles were set.
I thought it might have been confirmed versus new announcements or something.

EX Troopers? Didn't Capcom already confirm it would not be localized?

Looking at the list again, I will admit that Senran Kagura and/or Burst not being on there makes it a bit more believable. But still, doubtful at best.

Capcom also say there's a future for Megaman on handhelds and consoles. Don't believe their lies.
If that list is true, I don't think there's one single game I couldn't see buying. I'm really concerned there's only three first party Nintendo titles on there... makes me think they'll stretch the releases out, meaning we might not see Animal Crossing until this time next year O.O

if this is true 3DS will destroy the vita. BAH GOD
Would love love love to see X-Zone and Bravely Default actually make it out in English somehow. About the X-Zone licensing issues.. well Namco USA and Capcom USA already had to work together to get the SF/Tekken issues resolved I'd imagine, so there is some precedent. And I'm sure SEGA US will agree to whatever just to get some more money

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
I want to believe.
Maybe I'm too late but
It has always been Phoenix Wright and Ace Attorney in Europe. Not Ace Attorney Phoenix Wright.
Well they said they had no plans at the present. So there's that. But it's definitely a game made for the Japanese audience and one that doesn't seem like localization was in mind when they made it.

Well, we haven't heard back from Nintendo so I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow for an official response.
The picture itself is real and the Nintendo PR did say that those games were coming next year. But the guy who went to the event strongly believes that there must have been a misunderstanding and those games was just a way of saying "look at these strong titles guys, hopefully we bring one out of five games!". Omar probably just made a mistake.
As others have said earlier in the thread, regional Nintendo offices have given mistaken information, and such a schedule would be probably revealed in a Nintendo Direct or a NoE press release.
I'll post again as soon as we hear back from Nintendo.

'Tis what I was referring to good sir.
I'm sorry, you wouldn't cocktease Japan only games at an Official Nintendo event. This is a company that copy & pasted Japan Nintendo Directs for Europe but cut all the references to Monster Hunter and Project X Zone out.

If this event was put together by NOE central, I'd agree. But it was held by one of their regional offices, so there could well have been much less oversight as to what was presented.
Err, I don't believe titles like Time Travellers and Project X Zone would be "strong". They're pretty desired from a little niche for sure, but between "desired from a little niche" and "strong", there's a big difference. Not that I'm doubting Nintendo european branches released wrong schedules in the past, but that interpretation doesn't sound right.
I agree.
If this slide was shown at an official event, I strongly believe that NoE is working on the localization of those titles.
Of course, the official reply to our inquiry will be: "We haven't officially announced anything about those titles, please stay tuned"
Can't wait for January NoE Direct!

I want to believe that it's true, because Bravely Default and Time Travelers are both games I really want to play in English, but my fake senses are tingling. Especially with Project X Zone.

Who knows. They're taking the risk on Monster Hunter, which historically hasn't sold great in Europe (well nowhere near the system selling hit it is in Japan), so anything could (and hopefully will) happen.
The 3DS schedule for next year is looking surprisingly quiet as it is really. I'm worried they're going to stretch out Fire Emblem, Luigi's Mansion 2 and Animal Crossing over twelve months and that'll be our first party range next year
You know full well why if this is true it's a big scoop.

If those localizations are true, then it's pretty big.

If this is true and not a misunderstanding (because the power point itself was true), Nintendo España is bringing the goods, and and amazing line up for NoE in 3DS next year.
Nintendo España, how I love your new self.

THIS !
The overloaded design on the right with so much free space on the left don't make ANY sense
It's just been said the presentation really happened, guys. But also that we can't say the list is reliable yet.

Redacted due to a leak, or due to false information? (spoiler: probably the latter. Reminds me of that PlayStation France exec who stated as fact that Monster Hunter Vita would be released "in the coming months.")
Phoenix Wright was the prominent name initially. Then like a month after that came out here they announced the next game wasn't going to star Phoenix Wright, and they flipped it around. I suppose it might be more appropriate to call it Phoenix Wright 4 if you're not going to use Ace Attorney, not unless the Layton crossover gets treated as Phoenix Wright 4 instead.
Well, it doesn't seem as exclusively Japanese as some games are, but then again this may be a case of hitting too many bases too weakly here. Those who like anime may be more disposed to JRPGs or something bigger on consoles, those who want hardcore action will hone in on consoles, and same for the multiplayer. I'm guessing as a result it's somewhat paradoxically harder to market than a niche RPG would've been, nevermind if the gameplay IS Monster Hunter-esque as I recall hearing, that really could doom it here.
... I don't know if that makes me more confident or less.
