Says it all. Nintendo is bringing over Starfy on June 8th and Punch Out finally has a date that being May 18th. Also..EXCITEBOTS! And a ton of other games. NoA shocking me :x Never thought Starfy would jump the pond.

 

[duffey]

Oh my god a localized Starfy game :O

 

[Sadist]

What's EXCITEBOTS?

 

[VOOK]

EXCITE OMG

 

[JonathanEx]

EXCITTTTEEEE

 

[sixteen-bit]

oh starfy why did you even come here

 

[SovanJedi]

It better be as EXCITEEEEE as it is with trucks, damnit.

 

[[Nintex]]

So monster games wasn't working on F-Zero?

Spoiler

cry

 

[Delio]

EXCITEBOTS seems to be another Racer in the Vein of Excitetruck and Excitebike. It mentions tricks being a major part of this and wii wheel support. I really hope it's not shovelware but hey EXCITE.

 

[:Motorbass]

yayyyyy EXCITEEEEE

 

[TunaLover]

Still no Fatal Frame 4, the list fail.

 

[bumpkin]

How about bringing over the new Another Code/Trace Memory? Or is it purely speculation at this point that they aren't bringing that to the states? I haven't really been following.

Bearing in mind of course that I haven't looked at the link, just the OP.

Please be EXCITING, please be EXCITING...

 

[SovanJedi]

Reading the description of EXCITEBOTS reminds me of Unirally/Uniracers. I hope I'm not setting myself up for some massive disappointment in that psychological link.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Yeah were's all your bitching about NoA now? HUH???

 

[CoolS]

And it also mentions changing environments!

 

[swerve]

Lack of Wii Sports Resort means either Iwata-san will reveal it at GDC or at the presser afterwards... or it's slip slip slipping....

 

[beelzebozo]

Yeah were's all your bitching about NoA now? HUH???

no release date for mario & luigi 3

 

[Gagaman]

I was hoping for Captain Rainbow when I read the title, but a new EXCITE makes up for it.

 

[Tucah]

Stafy is eh.

BUT EXCITE!

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Yeah were's all your bitching about NoA now? HUH???

No card hero, no Fatal Frame 4, no Soma Bringer, etc...etc... = NoA still sucks, only a bit less than yesterday.

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

Yeah were's all your bitching about NoA now? HUH???

Starfy is a baby game, where the fuck is Card Hero, where the fuck is Soma Bringer, where the fuck is Mother 3, where the fuck is Disaster, where the fuck is Fatal Frame, where the fuck is Trace Memory 2, where the fuck are all the VC games, where the fuck is my storage solution that was promised?

From the Press Release regarding Excitebots

Excitebots™: Trick Racing has elements that make it one of the more unique racing games on the market. It launches April 20 and lets everyone in the family use the Wii Wheel™ accessory in unique and changing environments, play fun minigames and perform crazy tricks in a game that builds on the Excitebike™ and Excite Truck™ franchises.

They dont mention Trace memory which is sad for the people that want it. Honestly the stuff that shocked me was Stafy and EXCITE.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

no release date for mario & luigi 3

It'll come. Localization for it's gotta be tough, but it'll come.

Also Swords & Soldiers "coming soon" yay! Not as good as a release date, but with WiiWare at least it's something!

 

[CiSTM]

!!!

So many good games. I hope NoE is taking up notes.

• Swords & Soldiers, developed and published by Ronimo Games: Swords & Soldiers is a side-scrolling real-time strategy game, in which three distinct factions battle for the powers of the gods. The goal is to destroy the enemies' castle on the other end of the level, while protecting your own. This can be done by training powerful units or casting devastating spells. The game will feature a single-player campaign and a competitive split-screen multiplayer mode as well as several other game modes.

Sounds interesting.

Edit: And looks interesting O_O Why the hell this is the first time I've heard of this game :lol

My parade... it's all rained upon...

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

The lack of Fatal Frame 4 is disappointing. Then again maybe I should beat Fatal Frame 2 before I continue whining.

Does kinda take any happiness out of this press release. Really sucks :/

 

[GhaleonQ]

How did they pick the publishers in that list? Ugh.

 

[schuelma]

Is Tiger Woods launching on all systems in June, or is the Wii version getting an exclusive window?

Oh and still eff NoA for horrid localizing.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Starfy is a baby game, where the fuck is Card Hero

Dunno, I'd like to see that too though.

where the fuck is Soma Bringer

Not that NoA is without blame for not bringing this over, but c'mon, there's more than enough other RPGs on the DS.

Who knows, though, it may come over in the future (as Stafy shows.)

where the fuck is Mother 3

GBA's long dead, dude.

where the fuck is Disaster

Where the fuck were the strong Euro sales that was supposed to convince them? Game bombed everywhere.

where the fuck is Fatal Frame

I'm almost 100% certain this is coming, just not from Nintendo.

where the fuck is Trace Memory 2

Same as above.

where the fuck are all the VC games

Which VC games?

where the fuck is my storage solution that was promised?

Spring ain't over yet.

 

[schuelma]

Oh and why does Japan get Metroid Prime Wiimake in February and the U.S still not have a release date??

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

Does kinda take any happiness out of this press release. Really sucks :/

Well, EXCITE should be awesome, so that's one more Wii game from Nintendo than I was expecting to care about this year.

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

Ah, you're defending this stuff. Cute. You really are the N-Squad's answer to a question no one ever asked, aren't you?

 

[Father_Brain]

So, this moves their localization record from "indefensibly awful" to "very slightly more defensibly awful."

 

[TunaLover]

Yeah were's all your bitching about NoA now? HUH???

Yeah bring over games that need almost zero effort to localizate. Big step!

 

[Spiegel]

Andrex working for NOA confirmed (again)

 

[Azure Dream]

Excite = Whoo! But the name is pretty weak.

It's nearly March and they've finally announced a few games for May and June. Sure, one is the third NPC by the time Japan's had seven, and the other is most likely a DS Starfy title they should've localized years ago, but well done!

I don't expect the localizations to be finished overnight, but I hope there's some Another Code and Mario & Luigi love at E3.

 

[Azure J]

And here I started to expect Nazo no Muramejou or Panel de Pon on VC. Either way though, Stafy & EXCITEEEE made my day.

 

[beelzebozo]

quick, everyone dogpile andrex, that big jerk. he's earned our contempt with his half-serious comments!

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Well at least Sega is still awesome.

 

[schuelma]

Oh and bravo Nintendo for your big enveiling of Excitebots!

A mention in a P.R when the game is out in less than two months.

Way to build hype

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Nearly a freaking year to localize Starfy? They are really dropping the ball at NOA.

Andrex :lol

 

[Delio]

Well, EXCITE should be awesome, so that's one more Wii game from Nintendo than I was expecting to care about this year.

Heh you're right. EXCITE is enough to get me excited (oh ho ho ho). Hopefully more things are announced at E3 maybe. This Press Release did come out of nowhere so hopefully we get more games people really want.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Ah, you're defending this stuff. Cute. You really are the N-Squad's answer to a question no one ever asked, aren't you?

I feel I should quote a line from DBZ. I won't, though.

 

[botticus]

Didn't really ever expect to see a Starfy game here at this point. Hopefully EXCITE is worthy of being released on my birthday.

Also, good lord, Atlus.

 

[Rlan]

God, it took for fucking-EVER to release a Stafy game.

Spoiler

Why no Mother huh huh huh?

 

[Peronthious]

STARFY!!

Must more fitting than a normal smile.

 

[Haunted]

The next EXCITE game is coming out April 20th? woah

52 days from announcement to release must be a fucking record.


Love that Punch-Out boxart.
