David Yarnton has finally been replaced (nooooo!) and Nintendo of Europe has a new general manager: Simon Kemp. Kemp does not come from a background of gaming companies, but instead worked in television and business marketing departments. Even still, he has the “Nintendo is the best” chit chat style down already:

“I’m extremely excited to be joining Nintendo UK at such a pivotal moment. With the launch of Wii U Nintendo is once again changing the way everyone will play games at home, it’s a fantastic time to be here. Nintendo UK also has an extremely talented team in place already and I am very much looking forward to leading & working with each and every one of them.” – Nintendo of Europe general manager Simon Kemp

I wonder how soon after they’re hired Nintendo teaches their employees the “changing the way everyone will play games” line…

Guild01’s original retail release in Japan consisted of four games. Three of these titles in total will be released on the North American and European 3DS eShops – Liberation Maiden, Aero Porter, and Crimson Shroud.

The question is, what happened to that last game? “Omasse Rental Weapon Shop” hasn’t been confirmed for overseas territories yet.

Level-5 says there are two hurdles in the way of a western release: the amount of text and Japanese culture. While the company is considering localization, Omasse Rental Weapon Shop is “extremely text-heavy, and it functions on the expressive power of its text and language.” Level-5 is also considering “whether or not a large enough audience outside of Japan would appreciate a game that relies so heavily on knowledge of Japanese culture.”

Fans of the soccer RPG Inazuma Eleven will be pleased to hear that a new game is in the works, and Level-5 CEO is saying that it will return to the “origin”. No exact word on what that means (translations are tough!), but I would guess he just means it’s getting back to its roots as a franchise.

Keep your eyes peeled– we’ll likely hear more shortly.

You’ll first need to visit the eShop. Once things are loaded, choose the “Settings/Other button”. Then select the “Club Nintendo Account” button and input your Club Nintendo user name and password. As soon as that’s done, press link.

That’s all!
