Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 9 Comments
During the Q&A portion for the Code Name: S.T.E.A.M’s roundtable, one attendee asked if the 3DS game has slowed work on Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem – a Wii U game announced in January 2013 and hasn’t been talked about since. Fortunately, the answer is no. Intelligent Systems said, “We’re right on schedule, but if I answer in any more detail I will lose my job so please have mercy on me.”
Another attendee asked prior if Code Name: S.T.E.A.M’s existence is why there isn’t a new Advance Wars. To this, Intelligent Systems said, “We are always thinking about our next iteration of Advanced Wars and Fire Emblem.”

E3 could be in a different venue in 2016
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 8 Comments
This information comes from Michael Gallagher, president of the Entertainment Software Association…
“E3 is a world class show that deserves a world class venue. The Los Angeles Convention Center is no longer a top-tier property. The time to make this decision is relatively short. We’ll consider all cities that can improve the experience.”
