Just how awesome is Nintendo of Europe? Well, think about this. They’ve brought over Disaster: Day of Crisis from Japan. They’ve announced Xenoblade Chronicles for European territories. And now they’ve revealed that they’re going to handle localization for CyberConnect2’s stellar DS title, Solatorobo. I think it’s pretty clear at this point that Nintendo of Europe blows Nintendo of America out of the water…

11th April, 2011 – Nintendo and NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe S.A.S., a publisher and developer of interactive entertainment software, today confirmed they have entered into a distribution agreement for Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, a game for the Nintendo DS family of consoles which is due to launch across Europe later this year. Under the terms of the agreement Nintendo will be responsible for the sales, marketing and distribution of the game throughout European territories including Russia and Turkey, as well as South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.


Ready for a new hand-held game that’s sure to get under your skin? Art of Ink for the Nintendo DSiWare™ service invites players to flex their creative muscle by designing memorable tattoos for a colorful range of clients. Meanwhile, Slingo Quest offers a super-charged brand of puzzle-based fun, combining slots and bingo. A new prison-break adventure rounds out the latest Nintendo DSiWare offerings, while fresh additions to the WiiWare™ service include cartoon birds and a demo version of an engaging Wild West shooter.

Thanks to joclo for the tip!


Capcom created a lot of buzz recently when they stated that there are no plans to localize Ace Attorney Investigations 2. Now Capcom’s Corporate Officer/Senior Vice-President Christian Svensson has taken a bit of time to explain the company’s reasoning. Svensson also shared an interesting nugget that Okamiden’s sales have already surpassed those of the original Investigations title.

“The costs of localization are higher than the forecasted return. And no, it wouldn’t sell more than Okamiden (which has already sold more than the first Investigations). Could this content show up on some other platform somewhere down the line? Possibly, but there’s nothing on that front for me to talk about. I realize there are fans who would like to have this and I’ll be sure to explore ways that could happen viably in the future with our strategy and R&D teams but no promises.”

Something tells me that this game wasn’t worth the wait…


“They’re starting to run out of steam now in terms of continuing to be relevant in 2011 and beyond. I mean, you’ve gotta be kidding me. Why would I buy a gaming system without a hard drive in it? How does this thing scale? Motion gaming is cute, but if I can only wave my arms six inches, how does this really feel like I’m doing true accurate motion gaming?” – Sony boss Jack Tretton

Of course, he talks about the DS too:

“Our view of the ‘Game Boy experience’ is that it’s a great babysitting tool, something young kids do on airplanes, but no self-respecting twenty-something is going to be sitting on an airplane with one of those. He’s too old for that.”

Well then Mr. Tretton, I reckon there are a LOT of self disrespecting twenty-somethings out there! Good lord…
