Nintendo of America will be holding a press conference in New York City this Thursday to reveal various Wii U launch details. It doesn’t sound like a media event is planned for Europe, but there could be a Nintendo Direct.

Nintendo’s Spanish division has supposedly confirmed that the broadcast will be streamed at 4 PM. NOE president Satoru Shibata may be hosting the presentation.

Gamereactor has strangely pulled its original article confirming the news. I’m not sure if that means some information slipped out a bit early, or if the entire story is fake. We’ll try to find out.

Capcom may be turning its Monster Hunter franchise into a full-fledged film.

Speaking with Cinema Today, Resident Evil Retribution producer Paul W.S. Anderson revealed that a movie conversion is in the works. The news came about when Anderson was asked about another game that he’d like to transform into a movie.

Anderson stated:

“Recently, I’ve been loving Monster Hunter! A film conversion is currently in planning.”

Capcom hasn’t officially announced a Monster Hunter movie at this time. It’s also unknown if Anderson would be directly involved with the film.

Gunpei Yokoi left a huge impact on Nintendo. His efforts led to the creation of the Game Boy, Game & Watch, and plenty of other products. He left Nintendo soon after the Virtual Boy launched.

Yokoi was tragically killed in a car-related accident in 1997. He was born on September 10, 1941 – it would have been his 71st birthday today.

Let’s all take a moment to remember Yokoi and his many contributions to Nintendo.

A Monster Hunter game will be coming to North America. Apparently.

But Capcom still isn’t saying when exactly we’ll be receiving news, nor will they confirm which game will be localized.

Associate online and community specialist Yuri Araujo, addressing frustrations that a Monster Hunter title still hadn’t been announced for North America while Ace Attorney 5 was confirmed only a day after its initial announcement, stated:

“Guys, just because Ace Attorney is getting localized, it doesn’t mean we’ll be out of staff to work on Monster Hunter… that said, news are coming ‘soon-er’ than before … Different franchises have different schedules. So please don’t get mad that franchise X or Y is getting more games more often or only 4 months after announcement, or after Japan.”

Araujo later added:

“yes, I understand the frustration. But your request is simple enough: Yes, it’s been confirmed that we are getting a game. ‘What it is’ and ‘when we’ll know more’ are the parts I can’t share.”
