E3 2011 announcement from Nintendo? It wouldn’t be a new reveal, but a new Kirby game is always nice. I’d be happy if we received a localization confirmation!
Dead or Alive: Dimensions won’t launch in Sweden, Norway, Denmark due to pornography laws
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Believe it or not, one simple forum message has led to the cancellation of Dead or Alive: Dimensions in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. The poster was not interested in preventing the game from releasing in these territories, but was instead looking to point out the need to change pornography laws.
So what’s all of the hullabaloo about? Apparently the game can be classified as a violation of Swedish law because three of the female characters are less than 18 years-old and are in a pornographic situation. The characters – Kasumi, Koroke and Ayane – can be photographed in 3D, at any angle through Figure Mode.
Distributor Bergsala and Nintendo of Europe provided the following statement:
“Nintendo of Europe have decided not to release the game in Sweden, for various reasons. However, they do not want to list any details regarding their decision. We are sorry for how this impacts the Swedish fans of Dead or Alive. Thankfully, it’s extremely unusual that these things happen.”
All of this does sound rather silly, and it’s a shame that gamers in these territories won’t be able to experience what is one of the few high-quality releases for the 3DS so far.
Nintendo Acción says new Sonic game is coming to 3DS
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
It’s no secret that a new Sonic game is in development for the 3DS. We’ve known that SEGA has been working on the title for almost a year, when a listing popped up on a huge list of games for the handheld during last year’s E3. It’s been a long time for sure, yet the company has been quiet about their Sonic plans for the 3DS.
Recently, there have been rumors about Sonic Generations coming to Nintendo’s portable. The project was actually listed on SEGA’s latest earnings report before being removed shortly thereafter.
Now the latest issue of Nintendo Acción is saying that Sonic is coming to the 3DS, but the magazine didn’t provide concrete details. Only the following blurb was written (roughly translated):
“Just at the end of this number, SEGA confirmed to us that a new Sonic is underway to 3DS. And we’re not talking only of the next Olympic challenge, with Mario, if not a new product exclusivity.”
So, what’s the deal? This notice only says that the Sonic game isn’t the Olympics title. We still don’t know if Sonic Generations is on its way to the 3DS, nor do we know if something else entirely is heading to the platform. Let’s hope that E3 brings us some answers.

Capcom not planning “shocking” announcements for E3
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
E3 is a place well-known for surprises and brand new game announcements. Capcom, however, will not be bringing anything “shocking” to the trade show. That may disappoint some fans, though the company is expected to share more on previously revealed games. Capcom’s Christian Svensson provided the following comments on the latest “Ask Capcom” segment:
“We’d like to probably keep our E3 plans a bit closer to the vest. I don’t know that we’ll be shocking anyone with what we talking about at E3. Most of our major announcements were made at Captivate. There’ll be some light shed on things that were previously announced that we didn’t show much of at Captivate, updates for some things that we did show at Captivate, but keep your expectations in check and everyone will probably come out happy.”
