Nintendo preparing at least one unannounced Switch title that “fans would be delighted to know”
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Update (2/1): Nintendo also has other unannounced titles for Switch including “one that is a nice fit to the online program.” Further information was not provided.
Original (1/31): During Nintendo’s financial results briefing tonight, the company shared a bit of an interesting tease. The company says it’s preparing at least one unannounced title for Switch that “fans would be delighted to know.” This is planned for the next fiscal year, meaning we won’t be seeing it until April at the earliest.
It goes without saying that there isn’t a whole lot to go on here. Still, it’s interesting that Nintendo would even mention something along those lines. If you’d like to hazard a guess, feel free to do so in the comments below.

Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth won’t have an English dub
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Atlus finally announced earlier today that Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth is heading west. In both North America and Europe, it’s scheduled for June.
Atlus has since confirmed that, for the overseas version, it will only be playable with a Japanese voice track and English subtitles. “There are no plans to add an English dub to the game at this time,” the company told IGN.
No further comments were shared, so it’s unclear why exactly Atlus isn’t going with a dub. It’s possible that they may not want to sink in extra costs as 3DS software sales have slowed and many gamers have moved on to Switch. Since we lack an explanation, fans can only speculate.

This information comes from Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa…
I would also like to make the first announcement here that we are preparing for opening Nintendo TOKYO, the first official Nintendo shop in Japan. We are hoping it will be a new point of contact between consumers and Nintendo that a wide range of people, regardless of age, gender, or experience with games can enjoy. In addition to selling products such as video game systems, software and character-based merchandise, we plan to host events and offer opportunities to play games, and are preparing to make this shop a new base for communicating Nintendo information in Japan.
Nintendo TOKYO is scheduled to open in SHIBUYA PARCO (building name tentative) in the fall of 2019. We will announce further details on each of these initiatives at a later date.
