Project X Zone will include English text, but there won’t be any English voices. Project X Zone features over 200 different characters, so giving them new voices would drive up localization costs and extend the game’s overseas development.

Namco Bandai has confirmed that all of Project X Zone’s content will be the same as the Japanese version, with a representative stating:

“The content of the game should [be] the same as the Japanese version.”

Update: Just came across another Japanese report. Internet play seems to be the case, though we’ll wait for an official confirmation.

Just a few days ago, it was revealed that Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon will contain local multiplayer gameplay. This week’s Famitsu also confirms download play and online support.

As far as I can tell, details regarding the nature of Dark Moon’s Internet connectivity hasn’t been confirmed. Nintendo could be using online to distribute extra content. Or maybe there will be online multiplayer. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Note that while this is footage from the Vita version, Urban Trial Freestyle shouldn’t be much different on the 3DS.

A fan-driven Pokemon event was recently held in Chile, and it featured a somewhat out-of-the-blue Nintendo announcement.

The special Pikachu 3DS XL, previously released in Japan and Europe, was also confirmed for the Chile. This news may have implications for North America since Chile uses the same 3DS system as the US.

Does this mean Nintendo of America will be announcing the Pikachu 3DS XL for the states soon? We can only hope!
