Nintendo celebrating Kirby’s 20th anniversary on Wii
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii | 0 comments
Kirby turns 20 this year. Unlike Metroid, Nintendo hasn’t forgotten about the character’s birthday.
On the latest Japanese Nintendo Direct, Satoru Iwata announced that the company will celebrate by releasing “memorial versions” of classic Kirby titles on Wii. This will begin in the summer. Club Nintendo products will be made available as well in Japan.

It’s the 21st in Japan, so we’ll stick with that date! The presentation should begin in 15 minutes.
Keep tabs on the site once it has begun. Trailers, news, and other content can be found here.
First Chronoblade screenshots

We have the first screenshots of Chronoblade for you, but there aren’t many details about the actual project. It’s a time traveling game from Corecell Technology Co. Ltd. There will be levels filled with puzzles in which the player need to mess around with a clock on the touch screen in order to change time, ultimately leading to a boss confrontation.
More Monster Hunter Tri G localization teases from Capcom
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
No, Monster Hunter Tri G hasn’t been announced for the west. But Capcom’s Christian Svensson has continued to tease an announcement.
On the company’s official forums, one fan started a topic asking why Tri G hasn’t left Japan. Svensson responded with the following:
“There is method to the madness… that’s all I can say for now. I understand it not being clear or rational to you right now but you’ll see.”
One day later, another fan began another topic with the same question. Svensson addressed the situation by saying:
“…I think it’s fair to say I’ve said everything that I can on this topic without getting myself into trouble. Please be patient.”
At this point, I could see Monster Hunter Tri G getting a localization announcement during E3. If we don’t see anything once the event ends, though, I won’t have any idea about what Capcom is planning!
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
North America probably getting its own Nintendo Direct today
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii | 0 comments
Update: Some clarification from Nintendo of America’s Facebook.
The following message was posted:
“Wondering how you’ll understand tonight’s Nintendo Direct since it’s all in Japanese? Don’t worry, we’ll be sharing North American related announcements (in English). Check back here and on our @NintendoAmerica Twitter around 8:30 PM PT to get all the news.”
So… it sounds like there will be announcements for North America. Or news. Or something. Point is, there will be something for North American Nintendo fans. Whether they share this news in the form of a Nintendo Direct video remains to be seen.
Original post:
It seems as though North America will be getting its own Nintendo Direct later tonight. At the very minimum, there will definitely be “some news” from Nintendo of America.
The company will be sharing updates beginning at 8:30 PM PST / 11:30 PM EST.
Nintendo of America tweeted just moments ago:
“We’ve got some news to share 2nite around 8:30pm PT. Be sure to check back to get the latest!”

I think I might like the North American Theatrhythm Final Fantasy boxart slightly more than the Japanese version. It just looks nice – it has the Final Fantasy 25th anniversary logo and everything!

Tetsuya Nomura teases more The World Ends with You
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
The World Ends with You is one of the most critically-acclaimed DS games. Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura has hinted that the series could return one day on a number of different different occasions, and with character cameo appearances in Kingdom Hearts 3D, the possibility of a new game is stronger than ever before.
Nomura added more fuel to the fire in an interview with Nintendo Dream. Rhyme, Beat’s younger sister, was given a voice in Kingdom Hearts 3D. In The World Ends with You, the development team only implemented reaction voices. Nomura told the magazine that Kingdom Hearts 3D features voice acting for Rhyme “out of consideration of the future of The World Ends With You series.”
Nomura went on to tease, “Regarding The World Ends with You, I can’t say anything at present… (laughs). But there probably is something.”
Bring on The World Ends with You for 3DS (please)!
