Update: For the time being, we’ll use the temporary title, “Taiko no Tatsujin Chibi Dragon and the Mysterious Orb”.

According to the latest issue of Famitsu, there’s some sort of new Taiko no Tatsujin in the works for the 3DS. This is probably what that teaser site was all about.

I don’t have specifics on it yet, but I’m sure more details will surface soon. All I can tell you at this point is that it’s coming out in Japan on July 12 for 5,040 yen.

No, Miyamoto didn’t show up at the Louvre Museum just for the heck of it. Nintendo has prepared 3DS systems that work as an audio guide at the institution. You can read about that here. Screenshots of the Audioguide can be found here.

A lot of folks were banking on a Monster Hunter announcement from Capcom today. Fans were hoping that Monster Hunter Tri G would be confirmed for North America and Europe.

Sadly that didn’t pan out, and there are some fans out there who are concerned about the lack of announcements surrounding the franchise.

In response to this, Capcom’s Christian Svensson wrote on the Capcom-Unity forums:

“Alas, MH announcements tend to be made in Japan… as such, I have no news to share at this moment but you shouldn’t be worried.”

It makes sense for brand new Monster Hunter games to be announced in Japan before any other territory given its popularity in the region. Monster Hunter Tri G and Monster Hunter 4 were both revealed in Japan late last year. But for localization news, Capcom’s western branches would have to speak up and say something.

Maybe Svensson is alluding to some sort of Monster Hunter Tri G announcement at E3? I really don’t know since his quote is extremely vague. If there isn’t concrete news in the near future, I’d be very concerned about the status of that game in North America/Europe.

Goichi Suda probably isn’t making a Wii U game right now. That’s because he still doesn’t have a development kit.

As far as whether or not he’s looking to get ahold of one, Suda 51 said:

“It’s hard to say. Maybe, maybe not. It’s really depending on publishers. We are developers, so it’s up to a publisher.”

It feels like it was ages ago when Suda 51 first said he’d like to make No More Heroes for Nintendo’s next console. As we now know, that’s the Wii U. But without a dev kit, he won’t be able to make No More Heroes 3…

That’s probably even less than a glimpse. The camera is placed preeeeeetty far away. I’m sure Renegade Kid will give us a trailer soon enough though.

Unfortunately, there were no Nintendo games at this year’s Captivate. Nothing for 3DS, and nothing for Wii. Well, no one thought there would be a new Wii announcement, but I digress.

The only news from the press event? Resident Evil 6 isn’t coming to Wii U. At least for now.

I’m sure Capcom will have something to show for Wii U at E3, so there’s that. I have no idea what the status of Monster Hunter Tri G is overseas, though…
