The Last Story is a little more than a month away from launching in Japan. To gear up for the launch of the game, Nintendo will be holding a conference on December 27 at 2:00 PM. Specific plans related to the event aren’t clear, though it appears that Hironobu Sakaguchi will be leading the presentation. Fans will be able to watch the conference as it happens, as a Ustream page will be available as soon as Sakaguchi kicks off the event.

Main site and forum fully integrated – what you need to know
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Site updates | 0 comments
The main site and forum are now 100% integrated. What does this mean for you? Here’s a rundown:
1) You must register for the forum in order to comment
I believe I deleted around 100 spam comments today. Unfortunately, that’s been happening on a regular basis. I’m tired of cleaning up the spam, and I’m sure you guys are tired of seeing bots. That’s one of the reason why I’m making registration mandatory to participate in discussion. I also think this is a great opportunity to promote the forum, as well as maintain consistency with the main site. If you make a comment on a news item, it will show up on the forums! And vise versa.
2) Registration is easy
Registration should literally take less than a minute. Once you sign up, you simply need to activate your account via email. That should take less than 20 seconds! If you’re having any trouble at all, send us an email and I’ll try to help you out.
3) We have a new forum skin
Our forum actually looks “Nintendo-y!” Gone is the generic, default phpbb style. In its place is something that is much more visually appealing, and is full of Mario goodness. So far you guy seem to be very pleased with it, so I’m pleased as well! Make sure to take a look at it here.
4) Staying logged in
This is something a lot of you have asked for, and I’ve done a ton of testing to make sure it works over the past few days. You should be able to stay logged in as long as you select the “Log me on automatically each visit” option. Of course, make sure cookies are enabled as well. This may need a bit more testing, but we’ll see what happens.
5) The sidebar
You can login to the main site/forum straight from the sidebar. After doing so, you’ll be able to see your avatar, any new messages you receive, your ranking, and new posts.
That’s all I can think of for now, though I’m probably forgetting a few things. Feel free to send us an email or comment/post on the forum if you see any errors or have any questions!

There will be more Monster Hunter in the west
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii | 2 Comments
This information comes from Capcom’s Christian Svensson…
“I’m still in Japan, but while I can’t shed any specific light, I think it’s fair to say that the strategic investments we’ve made in Freedom Unite and Tri means it’s safe to say that Western audiences will see more MH in their futures at some point. Exactly how and when, I must remain coy and ask for your patience.”
Monster Hunter Tri didn’t move anything close to what it did in Japan, but I believe it did fairly well compared to the sales results of past titles in the west. Hopefully this means that Monster Hunter 3DS will be released in North America and Europe when after it launches in Japan. Okay, that hasn’t even been announced yet, but it has to happen, right?!
Thanks to John S (357 Lobster) for the tip!
Site maintenance this weekend
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Site updates | 6 Comments
Just wanted to take a moment to inform everyone that the site will be undergoing maintence tomorrow as well as Sunday. I’m going to try and accomplish anything I can over the next two days, though I honestly have no idea how much that will be. At the very least, before Sunday is over, the site and main forum will be completely linked. So, again, you’ll need to register to comment on the main site (which means you’ll also be registered for our forum!). I’ll go over all of that information again once everything is complete.
