Eurogamer backs up Mother 3 localization rumors
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Wii U eShop | 15 Comments
Emily Rogers’ hint that Mother 3 would finally see a Western release this year caused quite a stir yesterday. Several news outlets naturally reported on the issue. Eurogamer did the same, however it seems like they, too, have some insider information, Tom Phillips, who wrote the article, claims to also have knowledge of a Mother 3 localization via separate sources. The game is supposedly being released via Wii U Virtual Console to celebrate Mother 3’s 10th anniversary in Japan.
As always with rumors like these, take them with a grain of salt.

Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
A couple of months ago, Nintendo re-released some select 3DS titles for a discount price under the “Nintendo Selects” label in Europe. At the recent financial results briefing, it was revealed by Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima that these games sold quite well and that Nintendo would launch a similar initiative in its home country soon. Today, Nintendo revealed “Happy Price Selection” – select games will be re-printed and sold at a discount price, specifically 2,916 Yen, starting on Marc 17th. Interestingly, “Happy Price Selection” also includes some third party titles, unlike “Nintendo Selects”, which only included games developed and published by Nintendo themselves.
“Happy Price Selection” includes:
- Animal Crossing: New Leaf
- Tomodachi Life
- Luigi Mansion 2
- Nintendogs+cats: Toy Poodle & New Friends
- Nintendogs+cats: French Bulldog & New Friends
- Nintendogs+cats: Shiba Inu & New Friends
