Iwata: Nintendo preparing several titles for the end of the year
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments
“The reason why I said today that April, May and June sales of Wii will not reach last year’s results but that the situation will change from summer this year was because the company has been preparing for several titles to be launched toward the end of this year that can drive the market.” – Iwata
I can’t really say that I’m surprised by this news. We know that Nintendo will have one game for the holidays, and will probably launch at least one other in earlier months.

Gamers will be “pleasantly surprised” with Muramasa localization, will have subtitles
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
This information comes from a recent 1UP Yours podcast…
“We’re going to have the English build playable on the show floor at our booth at E3… [Localization is] going great. I think people will be pleasantly surprised that we’re leaving a lot of it in tact and we’re not [messing] with it so much. There will be subtitles available…That’s a reveal on that podcast.” – Director of Business Development, Ignition Entertainment
I know a lot of you were pretty surprised (myself included) when XSEED said that they were no longer the published of Muramasa. However, it seems as though Ignition is doing more than a respectable job with localizing the title.
