Attendees Can Experience More Than 10 Unreleased Games for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS at Upcoming Event

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Visitors to this year’s SXSW Gaming Expo will be able to go behind the scenes to experience an exciting lineup of unreleased games and experiences from Nintendo for both the new Wii U home console and the Nintendo 3DS hand-held system, from the latest installments of classic franchises to new software that lets players interact with one another in fresh and exciting ways. The three-day event will feature the public debut for several Nintendo 3DS games in North America, including a guided demo opportunity with Animal Crossing: New Leaf, as well as playable demos for Nintendo eShop titles HarmoKnight and Kersploosh! Visitors can also play unreleased Wii U titles like the open-world fun of LEGO®City Undercover, the high-octane racing of Need for Speed Most Wanted U from Electronic Arts and the team-based action of Monster Hunter Ultimate from Capcom.

“Hearing about upcoming games is one thing, but with Nintendo the proof is always in the playing,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “SXSW is where fans of all types of entertainment and technology come together, and we’ll have games on hand to excite every type of visitor.”


Right around last year’s E3, Natsume and Rising Star Games announced “Project Happiness”. It’s a game from TOYBOX – led by Yasuhiro Wada, the creator of Harvest Moon.

As a reminder, Atsuko Nishida is providing character designs. Nobuo Uematsu is handling Hometown Story’s music.

A new trailer for the game finally surfaced today, along with a new name: “Hometown Story”. Development is currently 50-60% complete.

In Hometown Story, players run a shop, although increasing sales and shop expansion aren’t the game’s central elements. Users will instead be encouraged to enjoy the story and encounters by earning more customers, which also ties into the store’s growth. You’ll encounter characters will all sorts of different tales, and Hometown Story’s primary enjoyment results from fulfilling customers’ dreams and resolving their worries.

Hometown Story was previously confirmed for the 3DS at last year’s E3. It should be out later in 2013.

Prior to Pilotwings Resort, Monster Games never made a game for one of Nintendo’s portables. Now the studio may be sticking with the 3DS for its next project.

One staffer from Nintendo’s QA department lists “Nintendo 3DS Software Testing directly with developers (Monster Games)” on his LinkedIn profile. That seems to suggest that Monster’s next project is indeed for the 3DS.

We’re having a bit of a tough time tracking down the profile for this one, so take this update with a grain of salt for now. Nintendo has yet to unveil Monster Games’ new game in any case.

One fan recently asked RARE on Twitter about the possibility of a Banjo-Kazooie remake – you know, something like Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. Such a project isn’t likely based on the company’s response, but RARE did say that “anything’s possible”.

Even if a Banjo-Kazooie remake probably won’t be happening, is it something you’d like to see?

The official Bravely Default is continuing to talk about the game’s status in the west.

Here’s today’s tweet:

At this point, Square Enix should know how interested the fans are in seeing an overseas launch. It boggles the mind that we haven’t received an announcement already!

Atlus appears to be bringing a semi-new Shin Megami Tensei game to the 3DS. There are reports on Twitter from those who attended a Devil Survivor 2 anime pre-screening event earlier today that “Devil Survivor 2 Break Code” is coming to Nintendo’s portable.

This summer, gamers in Japan will be able to get their hands on the updated DS title, which will feature new story and character content. More details are included in the March 28 issue of Famitsu (unclear if this is the magazine’s street date or cover date).
