Last but not least, we can see that 3DSWare has been trademarked in Europe…
This information comes from Capcom Europe’s Twitter…
“Two new games announced tomorrow for the early birds amongst you here http://www.capcom-europe.com/blog at 7am”
Well, we know of a pretty big Nintendo event that’s happening in a few hours! I’d say it’s extremely likely that these announcements are related to the 3DS. Or, perhaps even the Wii. Right now it hasn’t been confirmed that the Big N’s conference is just for the 3DS, so we’ll have to wait and see.
This information comes from Level-5’s president, Akihiro Hino…
“We were originally developing it as a Nintendo DS title, but decided to switch gears and develop it as a Nintendo 3DS title instead. The game has really undergone some major changes as we’ve come to understand the capabilities of the Nintendo 3DS. Even Professor Layton’s appearance is changing quite a bit, but you’ll have to wait and see what I mean!”
Hmm… I’m curious to see what they’ve done to Professor Layton’s appearance. The “major changes” sound interesting as well. Maybe we’ll hear about the game tonight/early tomorrow.
Sonic fans will only have to wait just a little bit longer to get their hands on the blue hedgehog’s latest title. SEGA has officially set a release date of Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 for October 11 in North America and October 15 in Europe. The title is slightly pricier that most WiiWare games at 1500 points. If it turns out well, though, I’m sure most Sonic followers won’t the price too much!
