Bandai Namco planning SF Dotabata Party!! for Wii U and 3DS

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 7 Comments

Bandai Namco is working on a new Wii U and 3DS game featuring characters created by Fujiko F. Fujio. “SF Dotabata Party!!” is heading to both of Nintendo’s platforms, the company announced today.

Not many details have been shared thus far. It seems to be a party game with mysterious items and shenanigans from Fujio’s iconic manga characters.

For those curious, the SF stands for “sukoshi fushigi,” which means a “little marvelous” and “dotabata” is another word for slapstick. A teaser produced by Bandai Namco shows silhouettes of several popular characters such as Doraemon, Perman, Esper Mami, Koromaru from Kiteretsu Daihyakka and more.

Rumor: Canada not getting Pokemon Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire with the US release

Posted on 10 years ago by Jarop(@gamrah) in 3DS, News, Rumors | 7 Comments

A user over on NeoGAF has noticed some obscure wording in a couple of the press releases for the upcoming Pokemon titles pertaining to the release of the game in the United States and Canada. The Canadian ORAS site has a listing of November 2014 vs. the US site which has a concrete November 21st release. Additionally, many of the press releases regarding the release have specified that release date is coming to the United States against the usual inclusion of the region. Check out the posts below and let us know what you think:

In the press releases I’ve got, they have rather emphasised the date as being for the US
Tuesdays:
E3 has begun and The Pokémon Company International just announced that Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, which both take place in the beautiful Hoenn region, are launching in the United States on November 21, 2014.
Wednesdays:
Sableye is a Pokémon that was first discovered in the Hoenn region, which is now confirmed as the location for Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, both launching for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems in the United States on November 21, 2014.
Todays:
The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo announced more details today about the new Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire video games, launching in the United States November 21, 2014, for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.
Many people thought this was an error, but my friend at PLDH got this response from TPCi earlier today

So it’s worrying. It appears Canada and Europe are excluded from the worldwide launch.
