This information comes from Shu Takumi…
“I can only guess as you would – but perhaps this would be the last…? …I did try out 3DS at E3 and I was flabbergasted to the 3D technology as a long standing fan of the idea since the days of virtual boy. I’d love to see GTPD in 3D but… you know what you have to do for that to come true!”
This isn’t surprising, as the 3DS is just on the horizon. In a few months from now, Nintendo’s new portable will already be out in major territories. In order for Ghost Trick, though, I’m sure the title would need to obtain decent sales.
Thanks to Robert for the tip!

If you bought any PAL version of Super Mario Galaxy 2, then congratulations! Nintendo automatically assumes that you’re a moron! As well as featuring in-game tutorials and demonstrations, the game comes with the usual instruction manual, a shortened “pull-out” version showing the control scheme, an instructional DVD titled “Super Mario Galaxy for Beginners” and yet another manual explaining the DVD.
Kind of overkill.

Update: Game Night is now over!
Austin is busy this week, but Game Night must go on! I’ll be taking on the hosting duties this week, and I know I’m looking forward to playing a few rounds of Mario Kart Wii. I hope you guys will join me! I’ve posted the IRC below. Keep in mind that registration is not necessary. Simply enter a nickname and you’ll be ready to go!
This is an official translation released on Mistwalker’s website from Hironobu Sakaguchi…
“The energy poured into this project by the development team and I are 120%. I’m hoping you can understand that, however on the other hand, I feel worried and nervous like sending my child on a trip alone. Emotionally it feels like this is my last work, while pouring everything I have gotten into this project. Never regret, but now ‘I’m enjoying’; furthermore, aiming towards completion. The sense of ‘This is it relaxes my shoulders, its pleasant feeling to conduct an orchestra by the sense of my intuition.”
This doesn’t sound like a perfect translation, though there’s a critical difference from what we heard previously. It doesn’t sound like Sakaguchi intends for The Last Story to be his last project. Rather, he’s putting so much effort into it that it feels like it’s his last game.
Make sure you have the captions on in order to see the translation!
