Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem in Europe next year (first half)

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Europe talks about Animal Crossing
NOE > NOA

 

[jokkir]

SMASH BROS AGAIN!

 

[Effect]

Well, guess NOA didn't mention Animal Crossing because it's delayed to 2013...

Is it coming out in Japan 2012 or 2013 as well?

 

[sorijealut]

Europe talks about Animal Crossing
NOE > NOA

JP > NOE > NOA

.

Still holds true... always.

 

[tdrdrgn]

Hopefully this would speed up the development time.

 

[enzo_gt]

Oh my god, more Smash Bros cocktease of non-information

 

[plufim]

Announcements aside, I prefer the Europe and Japanese style of the Nintendo Directs. US one is just overproduced.

 

[Jintor]

Man Shibata is KILLING it. Dropping QR codes like a BAWSE

 

[ghostmind]

Region Locked. Why do you even need to import though?

Damn... i wanted the white version.

 

[def sim]

Akuma in Mario Tennis

 

[plufim]

WHO IS IT??

OH FUCK IT'S METAL MARIO

 

[BGBW]

Mario Tennis QR code.

Metal Mario.

 

[sorijealut]

Metal Mario DLC.

They have to justify their interior zen garden.

 

[MarkusRJR]

American ND summary plox!

Usual E3 3DS games.
New 3DS XL for $200. Only colors are blue-black and red-black. Both look bad. August 19th.
Fire Emblem coming in "2013".
No Animal Crossing.
NoA shafts users with only offering a sale on Super Mario Land and not the larger sale everyone else is getting.
Professor Layton 3DS finally getting localized for Nov.
No Fatal Frame 2 or Monster Hunter.
Bunch of shitty Pokemon apps for 3DS that unlock Pokemon in the game.
Sora + Namco Bandai are doing SSB for Wii U and 3DS
Kirby compilation.
DLC in NSMB2 and Fire Emblem. Nintendo has become Capcom.
Reggie wore make-up.
2 shop VC games a week coming soon. Get ready for all the NES ambassador games and $4 GB roms.
I might have forgotten a few things, but that's all I remember.

 

[Visualante2]

So like.. Nintendo is incapable of making next gen games they have to farm out work to Namco Bandai for 'help'. Disappointing.

[EvilMario]

NOA only mentioned Fire Emblem over Animal Crossing because of Reggie's E3 slip up. No talking about 2013 games until November at the earliest.

 

[Jintor]

lol, placeholder Fire Emblem logo

 

[def sim]

aw I was way off

 

[zroid]

Professor Layton finally coming to NA

heh, it's funny that you say "finally" as the release schedule hasn't changed at all. They just took their sweet time to confirm this one... for some reason.

 

[RelentlessRolento]

freakyforms delux???

 

[kadotsu]

Well that was randomly satisfying

 

[jokkir]

That's it? lol

 

[Truth101]

No MH3G news. It's never coming, right ?

Capcom's summer jam. Believe!

 

[one_kill]

So guys I missed the streams. Is there any way I can watch them?

 

[Matt]

So like.. Nintendo is incapable of making next gen games they have to farm out work to Namco Bandai for 'help'. Disappointing.

Well Sora isn't much of a development team, more of a planning one. They said they had the intention of building a brand new team for SSB, but decided to go this rout due to time concerns.

 

[Vanillalite]

Announcements aside, I prefer the Europe and Japanese style of the Nintendo Directs. US one is just overproduced.

I actually like the US production values. IDK just feels a lot nicer than someone just standing in front of a stage like at E3 or TGS or Iwata in that weird room for this ND in Japan. I liked them chill'n throughout Nintendo's campus and showing us stuff.

If Nintendo keeps this up for the foreseeable future I'd be quiet happy not caring about any other big trade show events ever again.

 

[The Boat]

You do know they did the same with Brawl right?

 

[ToastyBanana]

lol, placeholder Fire Emblem logo

Yep, it really screams Reggie messed up for realz, yo!

 

[sorijealut]

Is a complete summary available somewhere?

 

[enzo_gt]

So guys I missed the streams. Is there any way I can watch them?

The archives are already available for the American one.

[Jintor]

I got me a Metal Mario, suckers!

Pity I'll never use anything other than my Overpowered Mii

Go to the links in the OP; It'll replay.

In case anyone missed the message from Sakurai and Kobayashi, running it through Google Translate brings up this:

We are delighted that this very, participated in the title, "Sumabura" Japan boasts a global project, can work together with Sakurai. Order to meet the expectations of Mr. Sakurai, and overlooks the staff of the strongest Ban'namu!

Yoshito Higuchi, including "Tales of" series producer & director, etc. ...... the main staff of the series "Tekken" art director, sound director, of the "Soul Calibur" series producer & director Tetsuya Akatsuka of "Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme VS" people, Although there are no list goes on, anyway, gathered the top creator of Namco Bandai, is a dream team like never before.

 

[Rich!]

I've never imported a Nintendo console/handheld before. Any potential issues with importing a 3DS XL?

yeah, none of your games will fucking work.

You guys are finally catching on.

For July. Only for July.

When did they say this? During the Japanese Nintendo Direct? First I've heard of this.

 

[also]

Now to watch the American presentation.

 

[El Pescado]

When did they say this? During the Japanese Nintendo Direct? First I've heard of this.

The US one.

 

[Matt]

When did they say this? During the Japanese Nintendo Direct? First I've heard of this.

In the American Nintendo Direct.

 

[Sadist]

Thanks!

Btw, did I mishear about the Theatrrhythm and Kingdom Hears demo's being available in the EU shop?

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Japanese Sakurai/Namco message

whoops, late with this.

Goddamn, how old is Sakurai? He looks like 25 or something.

 

[Vanillalite]

I'm happy, but kind of pissed NOA is shafting us on the eShop sale. If we had gotten the sale there were a couple of games I might have actually gone back and picked up.

 

[Forever]

Official English translation from NoE!

In order to make Mr. Sakurai proud, we will take on this project with NAMCO BANDAI’s best staff! Yoshito Higuchi, the producer and the director of the “Tales” series, Tetsuya Akatsuka, producer and director of “Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs.,” the art director/sound director of the “SoulCalibur” series, the main development team staff from the “TEKKEN” series…and that’s just for starters.

All the top creators from NAMCO BANDAI are gathered here to create a never-before-seen dream team for this project.

 

[Visualante2]

You do know they did the same with Brawl right?

No I had no idea, thanks for informing me.

Well Sora isn't much of a development team, more of a planning one. They said they had the intention of building a brand new team for SSB, but decided to go this rout due to time concerns.

I see, just alarming that they'd farm out such a key franchise to a third party like that. It's fairly unheard of. I have no problems with the quality of work in Brawl so I hope it turns out fine.

 

[ActStriker]

Goddamn, how old is Sakurai? He looks like 25 or something.
