If Paper Mario doesn't come out this year, it will be the worst second year release schedule of any console ever first party wise.
Kid icarus early 2012 and...that's it? (NSMB2 too but you know...)

 

[Lusankya]

By "those games" he probably means Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem

But Fire Emblem never had another release date beside the 2013 one. I don't know about the other two games.

 

[Mpl90]

Devil survivor too has no release date yet...neither Overclocked or DS2.

Both Devil Survivor titles and Crash City Mayhem have been submitted to NOE since August, actually

We’ve also been hard at work on our upcoming 3DS titles Crash City Mayhem & Devil Survivor: Overclocked both of which have just been submitted to Nintendo, after a number of issues had been fixed. Also Devil Survivor 2 is going through the process with NOE. Details to follow soon.

EDIT: If this is confirmed, I'll start thinking about changing my Euro 3DS for a US one.

The other two were definitely 2012 for a while, and were only pushed back recently--Animal Crossing due to localisation, Luigi's Mansion because... well, no-one knows.

 

[Fabrik]

I'm a bit pissed off right now. I mean Nintendo could at least offer some garantee about their release schedule to their loyal customers. 3 months before the end of the year, we still don't know when the games will be released. It's kind of...disrespectful.

 

[KennyLinder]

Definitely edging towards an NTSC WiiU, you just know we will get fucked on releases on both games and 50hz VC.

And prof layton.

3 Nintendo titles in 1 year yeah that is pretty bad

Not even one a quarter

Yeah so when Reggie says gamers are "insatiable", I say fuck you!

And Mario Tennis Open, and Spirit Camera, and New Art Academy, and Freakyforms Deluxe. They're not all *good*, but they released them this year.

Agree, 2012 was looking like an awesome year as well! Grrr!
I don't see why everyone else gets Paper Mario but Europe misses out...

When Luigi was delayed (which I can understand); Fire Emblem should have been brought forward. Feels like NoE is more about WiiU atm which I can understand, but I don't like how things are going atm :/

Despite owning those, I had forgotten all about them.

It's not that they're not good but they are so very niche.

 

[@MUWANdo]

It's not that they're not good but they are so very niche.

I'd hardly call a Mario sports game and a sequel to a very successful art program "niche".

 

[wrowa]

VLR will be published by Rising Star Games in Europe and they don't even have to translate the game.

I know, but RSG isn't exactly the most reliable publisher.

You have to be a very big fan of the genre to buy a tennis game. It's a sport game. And Art Academy wasn't that successful. Source?
Anyway it's a lot less universal as NSMB2.

Art Academy was remarkably succesful, actually. Sold over half a million copies just in the UK: http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/art-academy-sells-over-500k-in-uk/099216 Well beyond just a niche product, I'd argue.

I'd be pissed off by an eventual Paper mario delay, but..sport games are usually quiet popular, while Art Academy (the DS one) was a great success: it sold over 500 in UK alone: http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/art-academy-sells-over-500k-in-uk/099216

 

[CrunchinJelly]

I guess that explains why New Art Academy bombed so hard.

Ok. Well let's talk in term of "real" games then or traditional/hardcore games if you prefer.

 

[DRZ]

Hey you forgot Freakyform Deluxe! ;D

I said real games!

Paper Mario MUST come this year. I can't wait for it anymore.

 

[Mpl90]

The hope for Paper Mario this year here is in this post by Chris1964, which didn't represent nor NCL neither NoA ( so, NoE)

"We have info for many small surprises. Just wait ... After the situation from Wii U announcements calms down a bit we will announce things for the portable.

We will have very interesting Christmas."

Could you explain ?

 

[Tsunamo]

Will be very disappointed if it is. Only 3DS game I was looking forward to this year after Luigis Mansion got delayed to 2013.

 

[Lusankya]

The USK (the German rating board) already rated Paper Mario: Sticker Star (USK 0) and they only "pre-publish" ratings on their HP if the publisher wants it. I think that hints at a 2012 release date.

Man, Nintendo really don't care about rest of the world, do they? I won't be surprised if Iwata come out and say "We're going Japan exclusive starting from now! Fuck you, world!"

 

[cw_sasuke]

Ridiculous that there still is no PAL release date... they really dont give a damn.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

NoE wii gen has been VERY good but now at the end aka Kirby and some 3DS titles is very weird

 

[Aostia]

YaY! Finally we can answer the OP question: NO! It will come in Europe on December 7th!

 

[Mpl90]

And the answer is: ONM didn't know a damn nothing.
