Animal Crossing: Jump Out is releasing in Japan this fall, but not in North America and Europe.

Concerning Europe in particular, it was confirmed in the latest Nintendo Direct that the game will ship in the first half of 2013. This likely applies to North America as well considering the title wasn’t even mentioned in the North American broadcast.

Speaking about the release dates of Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem on 3DS, Nintendo Europe President Satoru Shibata said:

“We also owe you some news on two upcoming games – Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem for the Nintendo 3DS. In order to provide the best end result and give fans the quality they expect from Nintendo we can confirm today that these two titles will now be launching in the first half of 2013. We are sorry that you will have to wait a little longer but we hope you understand our desire to ultimately deliver a game that fans will love.”

22nd June 2012 – Get ready to marvel at your newly discovered creative skills when New Art Academy launches across Europe for Nintendo 3DS on July 28th. Jam-packed with 32 brand-new lessons, New Art Academy will have you painting and drawing your own masterpieces and sharing them with your friends and family in no time.

New Art Academy features both Introductory and Advanced lessons – whether you are an old master or a complete novice – offering easy to follow, step-by-step guides to a variety of drawing and painting techniques, styles and materials. You will be surprised how easy they are to pick up and how quickly your techniques can improve. To enhance your learning experience even further and to resemble your real-life inspirations best, some of the reference images for the lessons are now displayed as 3D videos, such as a tree with moving leaves or a river with flowing water. If you can’t get enough of the lessons – don’t worry – there are plenty additional ones coming your way in the near future.


Kirby’s Dream Collection Special Edition has already been ruled out for Australia. It’s possible that the package won’t be heading to the UK either.

You may have noticed that Kirby’s Dream Collection Special Edition was missing from NOE’s Nintendo Direct presentation. When asked about the game, a spokesperson said that Nintendo UK had “nothing to announce at this time”.

Six games, a Museum Mode, artbook, soundtrack, and more are included in Kirby’s Dream Collection Special Edition. The package is due out next month in Japan and September in North America.

Unlike the North American and Japanese announcement, the 3DS XL reveal for the UK didn’t include a specific price point. That’s because retailers will be determining their own prices, much like the original 3DS.

According to a Nintendo representative, prices “should be going live ASAP”.

The spokesperson said:

“As always, the final price to consumers is determined by the retailers, but we have aimed at making the price as reasonable as we can to the consumer.”

The 3DS XL launches in Europe and Japan on July 28.
