Art Academy: Atelier comes to WiiU on June 26th (EU)
- Thread starter 69wpm
- Start date
I think Nintendo knows that and probably put a skeleton crew on the game. Maybe that is why it took so long to come out.
Same. Maybe the Pokemon version will boost this ones sales.

Could you imagine if they actually talked about this during their Digital Presentation? Please... god... no. Now it's going to happen.
They've mentioned Art Academy games in past directs. Not sure what the big deal is. It's not like this is some trashy shovelware.

It's literally the most boring game they could possibly talk about. It's a drawing app... for a system that already has multiple drawing apps. I'd be more excited for a new Mario Paint.
I thought this was about a Ni no Kuni sequel
Wouldn't that be a little strange, considering that the NoA E3 site from last year had it listed as a 2014 release? It's a delayed app.

Yes. eShop-only makes no sense for these games (aimed at general audience).
Headstrong is developing these.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Redefining AAA titles.
I remember when Iwata announced this game many Directs ago. He even recommended this special stylus to draw on the gamepad, which I bought.
I can't find this.
Not on Amazon?

You could read the info that is on the first page... the full PR is there. We know nothing more than what's in there.

Nope. Came in here for that. Am very disappointed.
No, my mind also flashed Nintendo x Gust.

I assume we'll hear about this in the US during E3 or something. Like surprise, here's a game releasing in 2 weeks. So there's no announcement for Japan though? Interesting.

What the hell? How could this possibly have taken this long to develop? I had expected this a few months after Art Academy came out, not a few years.

There are some drawing apps on Wii U, but none of them have the extensive level of teaching that the Art Academy apps offer. They are extremely comprehensive and really do help everyone, from beginners to those more confident with their abilities.
Also, it's the only one that really goes out of its way to accurately simulate drawing with real tools on paper. There's usually not even an undo function, it's very realistic. This means people can learn on here and then translate those new skills over to real items quite easily.
It's a UK-developed title, so releasing first in NoE might have some logic.
Or not.

It sells better in Europe, as far as I gather.

They made a 3DS entry centered around Pokémon in the meantime. That probably delayed things for this version a bit (= waiting for higher install base - would not be shocked if they just decided to hold onto this for strategic reasons mostly).

Thought this was a art academy about the Atelier JRPG Series. Leaving sad now.

Weren't the lessons always going to be DLC that you purchase though? If this gives a discount to the full product it's in essence the same.

Not actually that important
But they are. They're essentially giving you the money you've spent on Sketchpad back if you purchase Atelier from the eShop.
I saw some more reviews on other Nintendo-focused sites as well. Seems to get really good reviews. In addition to the NintendoLife review mentioned above:

It's not out until the end of the month. It's just the embargo that ends early.
