This information comes from Q-Games’ Dylan Cuthbert…
“E3 coming up… it’s exciting! Three of our games are at the show! That has to be some kind of record for a small company like Q right?”
Out of those three games, it’d be great if at least one of them is Nintendo-related. Q-Games has collaborated with Nintendo in the past. Most recently, the company released three titles for the DSiWare service.
A Nintendo system wouldn’t be complete without a Ubisoft Petz title, right?! I’m sure you were all looking forward to this title from the moment it was announced. Okay… that’s completely untrue, but for the single person who is interesting in Petz Fantasy, here’s the debut trailer!

This information comes from FIFA 12 3D producer Matt Prior…
“We are not utilising StreetPass but we’ll have a day one kit and roster update to make sure we are fully authentic for the new season and SpotPass is one of the ways that you can download the update.”
“We looked into all of the unique 3DS features early in the development cycle but with our first foray into Fifa on the 3DS we wanted to make sure we got the fundamentals right and focused on getting the core game solid while at the same time innovating in key areas. We did this by developing a lot of content and modes and developing the gameplay with unique 3DS features which we have done with the addition of touchscreen shooting. We wanted to focus on getting those things right and creating a very solid and fun gameplay experience.”
SpotPass is something that I’ll always welcome in 3DS games. But it’s truly a shame that FIFA 12 won’t have any online multiplayer support. That’s been a feature that fans have been accustomed to seeing in sports games.
I expect that’ll we’ll be getting a full trailer with gameplay during E3 week.
