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!”

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!

Tetsuya Nomura teases more The World Ends with You
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
The World Ends with You is one of the most critically-acclaimed DS games. Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura has hinted that the series could return one day on a number of different different occasions, and with character cameo appearances in Kingdom Hearts 3D, the possibility of a new game is stronger than ever before.
Nomura added more fuel to the fire in an interview with Nintendo Dream. Rhyme, Beat’s younger sister, was given a voice in Kingdom Hearts 3D. In The World Ends with You, the development team only implemented reaction voices. Nomura told the magazine that Kingdom Hearts 3D features voice acting for Rhyme “out of consideration of the future of The World Ends With You series.”
Nomura went on to tease, “Regarding The World Ends with You, I can’t say anything at present… (laughs). But there probably is something.”
Bring on The World Ends with You for 3DS (please)!

Square Enix registers European trademark for “A Realm Reborn”
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Square Enix has filed a new European trademark for “A Realm Reborn”. There’s some speculation that the name could be used as a subtitle for Dragon Quest X, but that has not been confirmed.
We do have one clue from the trademark. Square Enix’s Japanese division registered the name, which means the filing pertains to a Japanese IP.

Japanese 3DS owners are finding the above note from Nintendo president Satoru Iwata in their Swapnote applications today. Iwata is holding a Kirby plushie in the photo. Some people are speculating that there will be a Kirby announcement on the show, but I’m not willing to go that far… yet.
