Hey folks, Austin here with a quick update regarding our contest we’ve been running that allows you to win some awesome free crap:
Something went wrong with Facebook, and despite the fact that many of you are mentioning us in your profiles, I cannot see your lovely, kind words. As it is, I’ve no choice but to make the contest even easier to enter for you Facebookers. If you wanna win some really cool stuff (see original post for details), then just become a fan of us on our Facebook page and post something nice about us on our wall. Or mean about us, I honestly don’t care either way.
Just don’t make it stupid and say “I like turtles” or something. You all are much too creative for that.
A note to the people who entered via Twitter: You’re all fine. We can see your mentions!
Thanks!

Thanks to joclo for the tip!
Capcom created a lot of buzz recently when they stated that there are no plans to localize Ace Attorney Investigations 2. Now Capcom’s Corporate Officer/Senior Vice-President Christian Svensson has taken a bit of time to explain the company’s reasoning. Svensson also shared an interesting nugget that Okamiden’s sales have already surpassed those of the original Investigations title.
“The costs of localization are higher than the forecasted return. And no, it wouldn’t sell more than Okamiden (which has already sold more than the first Investigations). Could this content show up on some other platform somewhere down the line? Possibly, but there’s nothing on that front for me to talk about. I realize there are fans who would like to have this and I’ll be sure to explore ways that could happen viably in the future with our strategy and R&D teams but no promises.”

Many people want Super Smash Bros. to make an appearance on a Nintendo handheld, but are divided on whether it could be done well. I’m in the section that wants it and believes that it can be done correctly. In this post I’m going to explain to you how I would make a SSB game on the 3DS work and play correctly. I’ll then go into detail on the features, characters, and stages I would want in such a title.
Something tells me that this game wasn’t worth the wait…
