Much like the European debut trailer for Xenoblade, this video is comprised of all Japanese footage. Hopefully we’ll see a trailer for the localized game soon.

Thanks to Matt for the tip!

Would you look at that! Seems that Nintendo of America has come through on 3D Classics: Kirby’s Adventure.

You can read the post of the day here.

For those that missed it, today was Shigeru Miyamoto’s 59th birthday, and as the aging game creator doesn’t really show any signs of slowing down, it got me thinking: What would Nintendo be if he suddenly died? I don’t think he will, but I really worry about how much of what they make comes from his genius in game development, and how much is from other people. Similar to the feeling I had when Steve Jobs passed away in October, I like to think that he has taught his “underlings” well enough where they could pick up the slack and keep making just as high of quality games, but I’m not 100% sure.

Now, that being said, I think it’s fair to say that I’m probably wrong. I felt the same way about Koji Kondo’s music skills, and when I learned that he only actually composed one song for Skyward Sword, I was ecstatic because the music was so great despite him not being the main composer. It gave me hope for the future of the music in Zelda games, but whether the same can be said about the gameplay and story elements is yet to be shown.

Do any of you worry about this as I occasionally do?

Surely some of you remember this game. It was one of the few announcements made during the Nintendo Direct presentation last month. Namco Bandai is developing this dungeon RPG, with a launch date planned for 2012.

Next month, Nintendo will offer a couple of SDHC cards in Japan. The cards will come in two sizes: 8GB and 16GB.

The 3DS system itself comes with a 2GB SD card, so these new ones are for consumers who take a lot of photos and download a large amount of content from the eShop.

The first clip isn’t too spoilerish, but the second one sort of is. It’s a cutscene… and that’s all that I’ll say here! If you’d really like to check it out, you can find the second video after the break.
