Nooo, I missed it! Ducks used to be faster in the past...
Ok, just some questions...
- What's that Samurai game they talked about? Is it the same as "Sakura Samurai" in the US? Because I've been waiting for this for months and then gave up hope of it getting released over here.
- Fallblox is the sequel to Pullblox / Pushmo?
- Did they mention prices for any of those games? I'm interested in quite a lot of them.
- Has anyone in here ever seen a voucher for a download game in store? Sounds like a great way to get download games a bit cheaper (as cheap as the retail versions, that is...) but I've never spotted one in the wild so far.
As for the weak holiday line-up: NOE can't juggle that many balls at once. Pokemon, Paper Mario and Layton are all quite heavy on localization and the Wii U launch should eat up a lot of resources of their western divisions. At least that's what I think, there's absolutely no other reason to keep all those games Japan-exclusive. And hey, that eShop line-up looks great!
Also... damn, 2013 will be a huge year for the 3DS: Monster Hunter, Luigi's Mansion, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing? This is Nintendo, not Sony we're talking about - they'll announce more games next year. A 3DS Lite is guaranteed, as well (new models tend to be cheaper to produce...) This could be the year the 3DS finally breaks into the mass market.
Edit: Oh and as always, thanks to VicViper for posting all this stuff!
