Nintendo games haven’t been sold in Brazil since January 2015. However, the company now appears to be returning.
These titles are going through the classification process for release in Brazil:
1-2 Switch (Switch)
Mario Party: Star Rush (3DS)
Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon (3DS)
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch)
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam (3DS)
Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright (3DS)
Kirby: Planet Robot (3DS)
Unfortunately, Prices are expected to be on the rise. While they were previously at R$330 to R$400, which would be the equivalent of US$90+ to US$120. NC Games, a local importer for games in Brazil, will be handling the distribution of Nintendo’s various titles.
No, Boys’ Life magazine didn’t spoil Animal Crossing and Pikmin Switch E3 announcements
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 14 Comments
A rather silly rumor has been making the rounds over the past day or so. In the latest Boys’ Life magazine, a quote was found that led some people to believe that Nintendo will be announcing new Animal Crossing and Pikmin games for Switch at E3.
The quote is as follows:
“Since Nintendo already launched its Switch console and the epic Zelda: Breath of the Wild earlier this year, what’s left to announce? Updates on cool Switch games like Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, Animal Crossing and even a new Pikmin title.”
GameXplain reached out to the source directly for an answer. As expected, Boys’ Life did say that this was only conjecture. If new Animal Crossing and / or Pikmin games are announced, it’ll merely be a coincidence.
