There hasn’t been much news about Mario Golf: World Tour in recent months. The game was originally scheduled to be released in the second half of 2013, but was pushed back to 2014 back in June.
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Launching exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS system on Feb. 7, Bravely Default brings a unique twist to the role-playing genre. With a compelling new risk-and-reward combat system, creative uses of StreetPass functionality and beautiful graphics, this ambitious game brings new innovations in quality and design to the world of RPGs.
“Bravely Default offers a deep, strategic adventure on Nintendo 3DS that everyone will be talking about,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “With the addition of this unique RPG, the Nintendo 3DS library continues to prove itself as one of the most robust and varied of any video game platform.”
Along with the above screenshot, Sakurai passed along the following message via Miiverse:
Pic of the day. It is said that the cosmos is beneath Rosalina’s gown. This was actually featured briefly in her debut video.
“2014 will mark a renaissance for Sonic the Hedgehog,” a press invitation from SEGA reads. The company will be hosting an event tomorrow so that announcements and future plans for Sonic can be shared.
Based on the art above Sonic Boom will be one of the highlights of the press gathering. A logical assumption would be that a game or two will be appearing as well.
Just don’t expect news out of the gate – there’s a good chance information will be embargoed.
