Curse you Nintendo, no idea what to do now. I definitely want a 3DSXL but don't know whether to go with the AC:NL bundle or wait for the inevitable Zelda bundle this holiday.

gently caress you Nintendo for making me poor.

They need to put SNES games on the goddamn 3DS. I can't use a Wii U because I hook consoles to my monitor with audio out to my stereo and the Wii U doesn't support that. Besides, I just want portable Earthbound :(

I think Nintendo must have missed the memo that Direct hype is supposed to be largely ironic because holy poo poo they knocked it for six tonight.

Because the 3DS doesn't have the vertical resolution, so SNES games are either cropped or squished and look awful and text is illegible.

Uh, no? 3DS is 400x240, SNES outputs at 256x224. Works just fine.

So apparently Europe is getting Bravely Default in 2013 and America in 2014. Huh.

Also in the online version Bravely Default has "temporary title" next to it. Understandably.

Eh, probably not. Almost every big Nintendo release of the last couple years has been at least co-developed by some other studio, aside from NSMB2/U and, like, Nintendogs+cats.

It's NISA. We should get it about three or four months after the US release.

Soul Hackers is worrisome, though. The fact it wasn't announced may either imply that NISA didn't think it would sell here or, worse, that Ghostlight got their hands on it. The former at least may allow us to get that game at some point, the latter no.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm hyped for Mario Golf World Tour, but that's because I love golf, even if my experience is limited to the mini-variant. Anyway...

Lots of interesting releases coming to Europe, with Mario Golf and Animal Crossing topping the list. Still waiting for EOIV, tho'.

I don't want to read too much into it but they showed different trailers for the Europe and America streams for Bravely Default. On the Europe stream they prominently featured voiced scenes in Japanese with English subtitles. On the American stream there were no voiced scenes in the trailer. On the American stream it was said that it was being published by Nintendo. America gets a later release date.

Does this perhaps mean that we are not getting a dubbed version in Europe but America is?

Feelies are neat, but they should have gone the Demon's Souls Deluxe Edition route and offered it as a limited option along side a standard ($40) edition.

But I have no doubt that Atlus will sell a ton of these regardless of price point.

I'm now really hoping they do that for the UK version (3DS stuff is Ł40 anyway).

If they are in the plans, I guess those games will be hinted during E3 and will be part of the 2014 year... most times Nintendo Direct are callbacks to what is going to come out in the span of 3/6 months, while E3 is used to lay out plans for 1 or even 2 years. Link To The Past was even hinted during 2011, I think with an offhand remark of Miyamoto and with it being one of the possible games getting the "3D Classics" treatment... the really surprising thing is how much it is gorgeous. :3:

I've sunk countless hours into Mario Golf Advance Tour, so I was excited to see that too. Video game golf is like crack to me for some reason.

It's not impossible the release date may slip. If it's published by Nintendo then it's rather interesting how they seem to have skipped on Dragon Quest entirely.

Amusingly enough, I just realized there was absolutely nothing about the new Pokémon in either Direct. I guess they will be doing one specifically for it closer to the release date.
