About three days ago, the Official Nintendo Magazine for the UK wrote a blog post that seemed to include a near official confirmation of Animal Crossing Wii:

“Those of you who have read the new issue of Official Nintendo Magazine should already know that Animal Crossing Wii will be unveiled at the conference.”

However, it has been noticed that the post has been changed slightly:

“Of course everyone is hoping that Animal Crossing Wii will be there but what else would you like to see. What would be your dream line-up be?”

The modification either means that the change was made in order for fans not to be disappointed if Animal Crossing does not show up at E3, or as to not give away an early Nintendo secret – the latter of which seems highly probable at this point.

Remember, Pokemon Platinum isn’t really a new game, but more of an “expansion” pack of Diamond and Pearl. Still, this should keep Pokemon fans busy while they wait for the next big game. Pokemon Platinum is scheduled for a September 13th release in Japan and other territories will most likely follow soon afterward.

To be honest, the media and gaming fans alike do not know a tremendous amount Monster Hunter 3. The game has received a ton of publicity not only because the game moved from the PS3 to the Wii, but also due to the series’ enormous success in Japan. In general, many people were expecting some news about Monster Hunter 3 at E3 – at least in some form – but at this point, the game looks like it’ll be completely absent from the expo.

On the bright side, an appearance for the Tokyo Game Show in October seems highly probable. TGS has been one of the more well-known events and many Japanese-related announcements have come from previous shows. Christian Svensson, Capcom’s Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development not only reinforced the significance of Monster Hunter in Japan, but has additionally noted that announcements related to the series would come from more Japanese-oriented venues. “(Monster Hunter 3) is increasingly critical (to the Japanese market)… but it’s probably safer to any major MH announcements to most likely come from more Japan-focused events given the importance of the series to that territory.”
