Mother 3 localization speculation picks up steam
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GBA, General Nintendo, Rumors | 122 Comments
Update: Emily is backing away from the speculation, stating: “Media jumping the gun over a tweet. All I was said was: Mother 3’s 10th anniversary is coming, it would be cool if Nintendo acknowledged it.” On the other hand, other folks are coming forward and claiming it could be happening.
What I had heard about Mother 3 ( rumour) was that it was in the final stages of localisation at Nintendo of Europe a little while back.

I was asked to keep quiet, and then Emily decided to let the cat out of the bag herself
¯\_(?)_/¯ hopefully this clears some confusion.— Liam Robertson (@Doctor_Cupcakes) February 4, 2016
Mother 3 is a title that Nintendo gamers have wanted localized for a very, very long time. Perhaps 2016 will finally be the year when we see it debut in the west.
Emily Rogers, who is known for sharing Nintendo rumors and occasional insight into the company, made some tweets recently that has fans talking. The first one is shown above. Some of Emily’s followers also picked up on this now-deleted tweet:
“One last thing before I vanish: Don’t be surprised if Nintendo celebrates a game’s 10th anniversary this year…Just some food for thought.”
We did see EarthBound Beginnings come to the Wii U eShop last year – a move that surprised everyone. It’s possible that Nintendo could opt for a similar move with Mother 3.
Rumor: Great Detective Pikachu could have more episodes

Great Detective Pikachu: Birth of a New Combination debuted on the Japanese 3DS eShop today. Although it’s is out, The Pokemon Company may have more in store for the title. More information is after the break due to minor spoilers relating to the very end of the game.
Kimishima says sleep device “hasn’t reached a level where it can be sold as a Nintendo product”
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 30 Comments
Late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced the company’s entry into the Quality of Life field in January 2014. A few months later, he said that a sleep device would be released within the 2015 fiscal year, but nothing ever materialized.
Tatsumi Kimishima, who took over for Iwata as Nintendo’s new president, provided another update on the device intended to monitor sleep and fatigue during a press conference this week. Interestingly, there is now noticeable doubt surrounding it, and it’s unclear if we’ll ever see it on the market.
Kimishima said:
“It hasn’t reached a level where it can be sold as a Nintendo product. If it could be released, we’d release it. If it’s not we need to consider further how to deal with it.”
Nintendo last hoped to have the device ready by this March. However, it now sounds like they’re unsure if this can be made into a product or not.

Nintendo of America outlines launch plans for first mobile app Miitomo and My Nintendo
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Mobile, News | 17 Comments
Following the news coming out of Nintendo’s financial results briefing yesterday, Nintendo of America has issued a press release confirming launch details for Miitomo (and a tiny bit on My Nintendo). Find the information below.
Spark One-of-a-Kind Conversations with Friends; App Launches in March Alongside My Nintendo Rewards Program
REDMOND, Wash., Feb. 3, 2016 – Nintendo’s first app made exclusively for smart devices, Miitomo, will launch in North America in March for both iOS and Android phones and tablets. Today, Nintendo outlined the steps that fans can take to be among the first to get in on the social fun.
Starting Feb. 17, people will be able to pre-register for Miitomo by signing up for the new Nintendo Account service using their existing email, social media accounts or current Nintendo Network IDs. People who pre-register will be among the first to be notified about the availability of Miitomo when it launches in March. Nintendo will offer a special Miitomo bonus to anyone who signs up for a Nintendo Account between Feb. 17 and launch. Miitomo is a social experience that uses Nintendo’s Mii characters, which first debuted on the Wii console, to engage friends in a lighthearted and welcoming environment. Users can spark fun conversations and learn more about each other by answering questions such as “What song has been stuck in your head lately?”, “Do you believe in aliens?”, or even “If you saw a nose hair sticking out of your friend’s nose, what would you do?” Users can also easily take and share photos featuring their Mii with the Miifoto feature. Nintendo’s new My Nintendo rewards program will launch alongside Miitomo in March, and will be able to connect with the app.
