yeah I can't see things going down too well if people can't play the games because of region locking. While I can understand not playing Japanese games if it's in English both America and UK should be able to get it.

And then there's trouble with retailers and publishers.
-
well yeah. case in point Xenoblade. Huge Wii game and the game shops aren't really promoting it. (although it wasn't even promoted on TV or anything :/ Hell it's probably the big summer game here cus there's been very little else. I have a feeling that many people will just not even realise it's out. Or will be unwilling to pay the price it is in the shops it is out in (£40 in Game. £50 with Controller in Station)
Although while I do realise that game stores can't promote EVERY single game to come out. Surely the likes of Game can do more than use up a quarter of their store to promoting more games than just Uncharted 3, Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3?
Edit: Damn. Just got to the stage where: Spoilers

AMBASSADOR ELIGIBILITY SITE
http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/3ds/en_na/3dsambassador.jsp?menu=how&submenu=ctr-ht-amb-lookup&source=twitteredit: Im not a ambassador..i got the welcome message..i bought mine on 5/2 not 8.13 :(
Same here. I bought mine on launch day, but it says I'm not eligible. I'm not worried though because I already signed into the e-shop prior to the 12th and I got the ambassador message.
-
Despite what it says do not put the number inside the box. I did the first time and it told me I wasn't but when I left it out the second time it told me I was an Ambassador.
-
Your system was purchased after the deadline for becoming a Nintendo 3DS Ambassador. The Ambassador program is available to any Nintendo 3DS owner who connected to the Nintendo eShop or performed the latest system update before 11:59pm Eastern August 11, 2011.
As usual Nintendo thinks that because they're one of the most relevant gaming publisher's in the world they know things better than their consumers.
-
Everyone should ignore the number in the box
-
-
It worked for me both with and without the boxed number
-
Good. Was a bit worried since I only downloaded the free stuff on mine.
-
Does anyone know when the European 3DS users can check if they are an ambassador or not?
I should be one but I don't believe it until I saw it by myself :D -
New fire emblem games rumoured for the 3DS… hope its TRUE =D!!!
-
New fire emblem games rumoured for the 3DS… hope its TRUE =D!!!
New Fire Emblem games are a no brainer, what you should be hoping for is if they make it to the states or not.
-
I really think, thanks to the Smash Bros, Path of Radiance/radiant Dawn, the chances of Fire Emblem games coming to the US have literally tenfolded. Esp if there are chances that the "new" leads will be in the new smash bros.
Am I the only one who's not worried that it wont come to NA? -
I got no message on my 3DS, but the website says I'm elligible…
-
I'm wondering now… on that site it says that you should have the letters CW before the numbers, but I have CEM... and it doesn't work when I input the code in any way, with or without the boxed number.
And yes, I should be able to become an ambassador since I bought it on launch date and logged into the shop.

Am I the only one who's not worried that it wont come to NA?Yeah but the most recent fire emblem game on ds has yet to see localization and it's been over a year now which sucks cause you can make your own character and everything
-
Guys. Capcom is thinking about bring Asura's Wrath to the WiiU. They think it's a good idea to bring it but they want to see what the fans think about it. They're saying, if enough fans go to the facebook page for it and say they want it, there may be a Wiiu version. inb4 capcom says nope anyways.
-
I wonder how many of the reponses won't be
where is MML3
where is DMC5
where is AAI2
why do you suck -
Capcom wants fan participation? Now where have I heard that before where Capcom screwed the fans over anyway…
Edit: there was another FE game for the DS after Shadow dragon? I never knew this! was it good? And maybe they decided not to localize cause it would release too close to 3ds release...
-
fuck capcom .
-
Hell how should I know if I want a game for a console I haven't played yet?
Capcom … -
Edit: there was another FE game for the DS after Shadow dragon? I never knew this! was it good? And maybe they decided not to localize cause it would release too close to 3ds release…
It was released 2009 in Japan I believe. It was a remake of FE2 I think
-

Oh so its not a brand new game? Well it would have been nice for it to have been localized but I'm going to be more hopeful for a brand new game… its been awhile.
-
I think the reason they didn't localize it may be cause shadow dragon didn't sell to well although it's there own fault. I go on websites like ign to find out the latest info. I found out about this game on the day it came out via the nintendo channel, went to every game store near me and none of them had heard of a new one coming out and eventually had to order it on amazon who didn't have it up to order until that day. (that's just for UK i don't now about rest)
-
Yeah I remember Shadow Dragon. I got it for Christmas and asked if it was easy for my parents to get and they replied with 'Yes? Wasn't it?'
But to be honest. I don't recall much hype around the other FE games here when released.
-
It was released 2009 in Japan I believe. It was a remake of FE2 I think
It was a remake of Fire Emblem 3's Book 2 story (Shadow Dragon was Book 1). (Fire Emblem 3 was a remake of FE1, which was Book 1, with a new story, Book 2).

I heard it sold pretty well. I don't think they didn't localise because of the 3DS either, we're still getting new DS games. Basically it's bit of a mystery, the Fire Emblem series was pretty popular the US/Europe.
-
Isn't fire emblem more popular in the West as supposed to Japan, similar to Zelda? I may be wrong but I always felt that way.
-
Edit: Apparently, it isn't a redesign but rather an accessory that adds a secondary circle pad and will be 10 bucks a piece. Dodge a fucking bullet there but it seems strange that nintendo would just release such a thing. It's a rumor from the French gaming site that gave us a bunch of correct info about the WiiU and PSV.
http://mynintendonews.com/2011/08/22/nintendo-3ds-nintendo-3ds-redesign-coming-in-2012/
Just download that file from there. -
that mentions a redesign as well
-
A new name? I HIGHLY doubt this news. There are still many games coming out for the 3DS, so I doubt this.

Dammit a redesigned 3DS already? if that is true I will be pissed and I RARELY and I mean RARELY ever get pissed at Nintendo
-
I don't really believe it. There may be a redesign in the works but we won't get it next year and a name change will be minimal at best
-
Who wrote that…Jim Sterling? Uh huh, sure.
-
I heard it won't be a redesign but rather some sort of physical add-on for the 3DS.
Oh and this
"Marvelous Entertainment is working on a followup to Wii's Little King Story, and it's for PlayStation Vita. This week's Famitsu has first details on the game, whose Japanese name translates to "The King, The Demon King and the Seven Princesses: New King Story."Only a few bits and pieces have leaked out of the magazine at present. It appears that the game will have love elements, along with new visual stylings for its characters.
Check back later in the day for additional details."http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/08/24/vita_king_story/
I posted it here since LKS WAS a Wii-game. I'll post it on PS3 thread.
999 is getting a sequel/successor too, also on the 3DS
http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/08/24/chunsoft_3ds_vita_adventure/
-
Damn. Thats a really good game. (The first was anyways) But worth getting a Vita for? Hmmmm I dunno. Oh well. Makes me interested in 1 Vita game at least. Getting there.
Apparently the dev (Nicolas) who do Cave Story is now a Wii U dev. Fingers crossed we'll see something new. http://maxnintendo.wordpress.com/2011/08/23/nicalis-is-now-a-wii-u-developer/
-
i never got around to playing cave story or LKS. I should probably try and buy LKS cheap somewhere like i did with zack and Wiki
-
Cool. This would mean he may bring La Mulana to WiiU, though it needs to see releases on other platforms too… but since he's strictly a WiiU dev, it makes that little tricky. I wonder if he's planning on remaking another retro classic. There's this one I heard about that involves a bunny or something.
-
Couple of things. Mostly rumors but what the hell.
Nintendo is apparently going to talk about "an extremely big title" later on that we have what it's about. Some say it is going to be shown at the conference Nintendo is holding sept 13th, which is also rumored to be a 3DS-related conference.
Sega has confirmed a new game, titled "Rhythm Phantom Thief R: Inheritance of the Emperor Napoleon" is coming to the 3DS. By the title, you can tell it's a Rhythm Adventure game. You take the role of Phantom Thief R who goes around Paris stealing rare and valuable treasures. The rhythm comes into play while trying to escape or break into buildings. It's about 50% done, uses gyroscope and other details later on.
Another rumor is that Monster Hunter Tri G for the 3DS may appear at Toyoko Game Show. There's been rumors in the past about MHT on 3ds so take that as you will.
Nicalis has announced Nightsky for the 3DS. It was originally coming out on WiiWare in 09 but hasn't. Here's the trailer from the WiiWare version
!
Nintendo has shown the lineup for the PAX 2011 lineup, which includes, Super Mario 3D Land, Mario kart 7, Kid icarus, Sonic generations, Shinobi, Skyward Sword, Kirby's Return to Dreamland and other games for the 3DS, DS and Wii. They will also hold a tourney for Star Fox 643D and AR Markers for Pokedex 3D. You can read the rest, here http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/KH0OmjRAO782_QaOskYrUdqhprYTqmiC.
And now from out favorite French gaming site, 01net, they're saying that Nintendo is supposedly releasing the WiiU in June but may be pushed back to September due to some hardware issues. Nintendo is trying to use a slightly outdated chipset for the WiiU's controller is starting to show problems. The wireless isn't working at all and there's been three different prototypes with a fourth on its way. You can read the rest. http://wiiugo.com/rumour-wii-u-set-for-june-2012-launch-nintendo-struggling-to-finalize-hardware/
-

It would be a wasted opportunity for Nintendo not to try to get Monster Hunter on the 3DS. Since Monster Hunter essentially sold the PSP in Japan, Nintendo should REALLY try to get Capcom to release a new one of the 3DS.
Then again Capcom hasn't exactly been the most clever company recently.
-
Capcom do like money tho.
Although whether or not it'll be out of Japan. I'm not sure if Tri sold so well or not. I know where I worked it was reduced to clear alongside Other M by Christmas.
-
Well IF Wikipedia is to be believed:
"Monster Hunter Tri shipped over one million units prior to its Japanese release date. It was the top-selling game in Japan for the week ending August 2, 2009, at 520,000 copies sold. As of December 12, 2009, Monster Hunter Tri is the best-selling third-party video game for the Wii in Japan, at 960,000 copies sold. As of December 31, 2009 over 1.1 million copies have been sold."
Even if that is to be believed it's a little outdated information. Still in other words, Monster Hunter Tri sold REALLY dang well in Japan. Though I heard it did rather well in North America and Europe. Nowhere near as popular in Japan obviously.

Looks like Nintendo is preparing for some major announcements of some sort.

I should go wherever you work. I still see it for around 25-30£ in shops near me

Japanese site's up, with gameplay footage, story, screens, artworks and some awesome music. It's apparenty coming out in Winter.
Love the music and the game looks fun. Hope this comes to the west.

Oh man a Monster Hunter on the 3DS would make me a little happy person!
