Nintendo – Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer<\/strong><\/p>\nIsabelle & Lottie are greeting with station attendant’s costume to coincide with the year of the monkey. The one who drew this cute illustration was the one in charge of character design in this game, Mr. Koji Takahashi. Since it also links with Wii U’s “Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival”, creating homes in 2016 will become a hot thing too!?<\/p>\n
Note: Below Moro’s signature there’s an interesting thing written: contests are still continuing, guys!<\/p>\n
Nintendo – Rhythm Heaven The Best Plus<\/strong><\/p>\nThat’s right, the girl from the rhythm game “Idol” had many monkeys as her guests. This illustration drawn by Mr. Kou Takeuchi (character designer) is also good, and the small drawings from others also worked out as joke materials.<\/p>\n
Nintendo – Fire Emblem Fates<\/strong><\/p>\nContinuing from “Fire Emblem Awakening” is “Fire Emblem Fates” which has charmed a lot of fans. Nintendo Dream also helped with many projects in 2015.<\/p>\n
Nintendo – Fire Emblem Cypher <\/strong><\/p>\nA card game developed solely by Intelligent Systems. Look forward to the world being expanded continually by new cards in 2016 too. The illustration is Marth which is drawn by Mr. Izuka!<\/p>\n
Game Freak – Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire<\/strong><\/p>\nJunichi Masuda’s comment: Happy New Year! On February 27, 2016, “Pokemon” will celebrate its 20th anniversary. On this day, Virtual Console versions of “Pokemon Red, Green, Blue & Yellow” will be released, so if we can hype it up with everyone while feeling nostalgic with the past, I’ll be glad! And this year I think we’ll give a feel of the future with “Pokemon GO”! We’re challenging [ourselves] so that the 20th anniversary will be fun for everyone in the world, so please keep up your continuing support. The ring of Pokemon is still getting bigger! I look forward to work with you all this year!<\/p>\n
