According to Natsume’s Twitter, the company will be making an announcement within the next few days. Three hints have been provided thus far.

Natsume has confirmed that the announcement contains a “celebration”, is related to an existing series, and is based on a franchise that has seen three entries released previously.

Rune Factory IV is one possibility. The game is set to launch in Japan in a couple of months, so Natsume could be preparing a localization announcement.

That’s just one of many possibilities. We’ll be receiving the announcement soon.

With the popularity of mobile and social games as well as a slight de-emphasis on boxed titles, some would argue that E3 isn’t as important as it once was. Furthermore, these doubters may say that the expo is quickly becoming irrelevant.

E3 organiser ESA obviously isn’t in this camp. SVP Rich Taylor, when approached about his thoughts about the trade show becoming irrelevant, responded by explaining that this year’s show is “going to be one of the strongest shows we’ve had in a long time.” He added, “The industry will change and we will change with it.”

Taylor’s full comments are as follows:

“I disagree with broad declarations that a show which hasn’t occurred yet is irrelevant. Folks haven’t even seen what’s going to take place. The fact that Zynga and GREE are going to be there is reflective of a show that is very much relevant. These firms are talking specifically about mobile and social. What happens in LA will be heard around the globe and echo around for the months to follow. If E3 was losing relevancy we’d be having a fire sale on exhibit space, but it is the opposite, we are packed to the gills. I think it’s going to be one of the strongest shows we’ve had in a long time. The industry will change and we will change with it.”

Metro: Last Light was given a Q1 2013 date by THQ nearly two weeks ago. But whereas the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC versions will all be launching on the same day, the Wii U edition won’t be ready until later in the year.

When asked about the Wii U version of Last Light, head of senior communications Huw Beynon said the following:

“We’ve been working on the Wii U version. At the moment we’re focusing on current-gen or existing platforms and PC, so it’s unlikely that the Wii U verson will come out at the same time as those formats.”

You can find the entire video here with a little bit of footage.

It’s a shame that we still don’t know if Monster Hunter Tri G is coming to North America and Europe. Even after E3 2012 passes, we might not have a concrete answer.

The latest development in the localization saga comes from Daniel Gibson, an analyst at Macquarie Capital Securities (Japan) Limited. Speaking about a possible overseas release, Gibson said that “capcom keep saying its unlikely as audience not there based on the wii game”.

Capcom’s Christian Svensson is denying anything of the sort, though. Svensson responded to Gibson’s comment by noting, “I’d like him to cite a source.”

So we’re back at square zero!

Even if Capcom didn’t have any plans to localize Monster Hunter Tri G, I wish they would just come out and confirm that already. The seemingly flip-flopping nature of the situation is really agitating.

A few images are a repeat from Famitsu, but they’re in higher resolution now. About half of the photos are completely new.
