“Might have been a bit optimistic in hearing statement from Nintendo today. Should still happen but… it’s getting late. Patience! …@Chadboban If I don’t get it in the next hour or so, I’m thinking it doesn’t arrive until tomorrow or even Wednesday. Eh just give it time. Maybe tomorrow, maybe Wednesday. Shows they’re giving it thought though, which is good.”
I really don’t understand what’s happening with this situation. Is Nintendo of America just providing a simple statement to IGN? I doubt that IGN would even be able to obtain an exclusive announcement about any of these games, but still… argh! If only Nintendo would ease our minds by at least confirming Xenoblade!
We started to see some of Zelda’s personality in Skyward Sword during this year’s E3. This time around, she’s more of a childhood friend rather than a damsel in distress.
Shigeru Miyamoto seems to be liking the direction the development team is taking Zelda. In the latest Iwata Asks, Miyamoto expressed his belief that she’s “pretty good”. Unfortunately, that’s all he was willing to say!
Miyamoto: Yeah. By the way, Princess Zelda in the next one is pretty good! (laughs)
Iwata: You mean in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword?
Miyamoto: Yes.
Iwata: I’ll be sure to ask about that when the time comes.
Miyamoto: Yes, absolutely!
If you want a fancy Club Nintendo prize, you’ll have to take action quick. Members are required to have reached at least 300 coins within the last year for a “Gold” reward whereas the “Platinum” reward requires 600 coins. Please note that there’s just a few days left to accomplish this. The cutoff for gold/platinum eligibility ends on June 30.
This information comes from Asssassin’s Creed: Revelations developer Brent Ashe…
“That hardware [Wii U] is interesting because, now it’s going to be in HD and wrapping that in with their control scheme – I’m curious to see where that goes.”
Just as a sidenote, Ubisoft Quebec is working on Assassin’s Creed Wii U. Ubisoft Montreal has been the main studio behind the franchise (and I assume that’s where Ashe comes from), though I do believe Quebec has chipped in a bit. From what I understand, Quebec is handling their first, true Assassin’s Creed on their own, so it should be interesting to see how the game turns out.
NIS America has announced that Cave Story 3D will now be releasing on November 8. This isn’t the first time the game has been delayed, but it’s probably for the best. Cave Story 3D will have a bunch of competition, though. Super Mario 3D, Mario Kart 3D, and Kid Icarus: Uprising are just a few 3DS titles that will be available at around the same timeframe.
Santa Ana, Calif. –NIS America announces today that its first Nintendo 3DS™ title Cave Story 3D will be released on Nov 8, 2011 due to additional game improvements.

Please look forward to it this holiday season. Cave Story 3D will be a blast,” says Jack Niida, producer at NIS America, Inc.
