Nintendo of Europe has come out with a launch trailer for Pokken Tournament. You can view the video below.

Bravely Second made its way to Europe last month. The RPG came with some changes in its western release, such as how completing optional side quests always provides players with a “good” ending.

Nintendo Life has now managed to obtain a statement from the Big N regarding this change. In its response, Nintendo noted that Bravely Second’s developers believed that this modification would be appropriate based on “overwhelming feedback” from Japanese players. Users “felt an unsatisfying disconnect between their intentions and the characters’ reactions” as “each side quest would end with the team lamenting the decision they made, regardless of the player’s decision.”

You can read up on Nintendo’s full statement below.

We haven’t seen too much of Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 in video form, but a new video should start changing that. You can watch 13 minutes of footage in what we have attached below.

While Miitomo is in its very early days, the app is doing quite well in Japan thus far. Data collected by market researcher App Annie indicates that Nintendo’s new release took the top spot as the country’s most-downloaded social-networking app on iOS devices yesterday.

LINE is Japan’s most-popular instant messenger, but fell to second place in light of Miitomo’s arrival.

Nintendo spokesman Yasuhiro Minagawa said in a statement:

“We had a good start and have received very positive feedback. Miitomo will continue to evolve.”
