First Chronoblade screenshots
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Screenshots | 0 comments
We have the first screenshots of Chronoblade for you, but there aren’t many details about the actual project. It’s a time traveling game from Corecell Technology Co. Ltd. There will be levels filled with puzzles in which the player need to mess around with a clock on the touch screen in order to change time, ultimately leading to a boss confrontation.
Reminder: Japanese Nintendo Direct kicks off in a couple of hours
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Site updates | 0 comments
I’d say about 50% of our posts today have been about today/tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct. For those of you who missed out on the notices, be aware that the Japanese presentation begins in roughly two hours – 8:00 PM PST / 11:00 PM EST to be exact.
Nintendo of America will be sharing updates a half hour later. They’ve said that information will be shared throughout the night.
To wrap things up, Nintendo of Europe will show a modified version of the Japanese Nintendo Direct tomorrow at (I believe) 7:00 AM EST.
We’ll be around for all of the news. Be sure to check in on the site starting at 11:00 PM EST for updates, trailers, and any other content!
More Monster Hunter Tri G localization teases from Capcom
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
No, Monster Hunter Tri G hasn’t been announced for the west. But Capcom’s Christian Svensson has continued to tease an announcement.
On the company’s official forums, one fan started a topic asking why Tri G hasn’t left Japan. Svensson responded with the following:
“There is method to the madness… that’s all I can say for now. I understand it not being clear or rational to you right now but you’ll see.”
One day later, another fan began another topic with the same question. Svensson addressed the situation by saying:
“…I think it’s fair to say I’ve said everything that I can on this topic without getting myself into trouble. Please be patient.”
At this point, I could see Monster Hunter Tri G getting a localization announcement during E3. If we don’t see anything once the event ends, though, I won’t have any idea about what Capcom is planning!
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
Rumor: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 promo box shows up at retailer
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 0 comments
IGN appears to have obtained a promotional box for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. A retailer employee sent in the photo above to the site, which will be placed in stores soon.
The box looks exactly the same as the rumored poster image found earlier this week. I suppose we’ll be getting something for Black Ops 2 on May 2 after all…
No Nintendo Direct for North America after all
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
This is rather odd. Nintendo of Japan is getting a Nintendo Direct with their president. So is Europe. North America, though? Nothing!
However, Nintendo of America will be providing updates on something at 11:30 PM EST. There will be news tonight and through the weekend.
IGN’s Rich George tweeted:
“Nintendo: ‘While there will not be a video specific to North America, we will be revealing info this evening and through the weekend.’ …That is shortened from NOA statement. Because… Twitter. But the gist is – no video but an announcement and some via Nintendo social.”
Famitsu teases unexpected Capcom title for next issue
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Most of Capcom’s game announcements and updates came from this month’s Captivate event. But apparently the company has one more title to reveal.
Famitsu has posted a preview of their issue next week, and it says they will cover Capcom’s upcoming lineup, including an unexpected title.
No word on what the mystery game is. It’s also unknown which platforms the project is in development for.
There will be Kid Icarus: Uprising news on today’s Nintendo Direct
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai wants you to watch today’s Japanese Nintendo Direct broadcast. That’s because there will be some sort of news for Kid Icarus: Uprising. And yes, people are still speculating that there will be something Kirby-related on the show. I personally wouldn’t count on it, but you never know…
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy developer head Masanobu Suzui has also advised his Twitter followers to watch the live-stream.
Thanks to 4Him for the tip.
North America probably getting its own Nintendo Direct today
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii | 0 comments
Update: Some clarification from Nintendo of America’s Facebook.
The following message was posted:
“Wondering how you’ll understand tonight’s Nintendo Direct since it’s all in Japanese? Don’t worry, we’ll be sharing North American related announcements (in English). Check back here and on our @NintendoAmerica Twitter around 8:30 PM PT to get all the news.”
So… it sounds like there will be announcements for North America. Or news. Or something. Point is, there will be something for North American Nintendo fans. Whether they share this news in the form of a Nintendo Direct video remains to be seen.
Original post:
It seems as though North America will be getting its own Nintendo Direct later tonight. At the very minimum, there will definitely be “some news” from Nintendo of America.
The company will be sharing updates beginning at 8:30 PM PST / 11:30 PM EST.
Nintendo of America tweeted just moments ago:
“We’ve got some news to share 2nite around 8:30pm PT. Be sure to check back to get the latest!”
North American Theatrhythm Final Fantasy boxart

I think I might like the North American Theatrhythm Final Fantasy boxart slightly more than the Japanese version. It just looks nice – it has the Final Fantasy 25th anniversary logo and everything!
