Nintendo officially confirms Nintendo Direct “around E3 time”

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments

Nintendo won’t be holding a major press conference at E3 2013 this year. The company will be holding two smaller events for media and investors/analysts, but neither will likely be live-streamed.

For fans, Nintendo is replacing its conference with a Nintendo Direct. This was pretty much a known fact, but the news was made official today. A new Nintendo Direct will be held “around E3 time” next month to highlight Wii U games “coming this autumn and beyond”. Let’s hope the 3DS gets some love as well!

For #WiiU titles coming this autumn and beyond, there will be a #NintendoDirectEU around E3 time in June ow.ly/l5Q8Q

It’s that time again – a new Nintendo Direct is coming.

3D Space Harrier playable at MCM London Comic Con – another localization hint

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments

Over the past few months, SEGA has given a number of its classic games the 3D treatment on the Japanese 3DS eShop. Just recently, the company produced 3D Sonic the Hedgehog.

It would seem that these series of titles are set to appear on the overseas 3DS eShops. Nintendo UK’s “Nintendo Unleashed Tour” announcement reveals that 3D Space Harrier will be playable at the MCM London Comic Con later this month. That backs up an OFLC rating from January and further implies that the title is being localized. Maybe 3D Super Hang-On and 3D Sonic the Hedgehog will follow?

SEGA trademarks “Sonic Lost World” in Europe

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Over in Europe, SEGA trademarked something called “Sonic Lost World” for use with video games. Could this be the next entry in the Sonic series?

SEGA has given Sonic a bit of a break over the past couple of years. New games came out annually between 2004 and 2011, but we haven’t seen a major release since Sonic Generations.
