Nintendo announces new North American 3DS games - including Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing

"Via it's online service Nintendo Direct, Nintendo announced this morning that quite a few games are making their way to 3DS this Fall and that the company has some amazing plans for the system.

Did we mention that it also announced official names for the new Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing in North America?

Hint - think about turning over a new leaf."

...I both love and hate how Nintendo handles release dates.

Anyway, damn, that's a lot of awesome stuff. I can't wait for Fire Emblem. And Layton? A lot of my enthusiasm just vanished. I can't say I look forward to seeing what he was like in High School. That's... just wrong.

But, anyway, "just a few months" means Fire Emblem in Q1 2013? Or maybe even in time for Christmas?

That's we're thinking - Christmas would be perfect, but I imagine they're trying to finish it then and don't want to have delay if they can't.

Seems smarter to leave it unannounced in case it can't make it.

Regarding Professor Layton - definitely agree that it's odd, but it'll add some interesting wrinkles to the formula. Plus, seeing that it's the last game directly focusing on the professor, it'll be somewhat of an appropriate sendoff.

Been far too long since they updated us on it.

ScubaSteve14217d ago

what about ace attorney vs professor layton nintendo.

ronin4life4217d ago

I want to know more about that too...

But I don't think Nintendo has anything to do with that.

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.

Nintendo's Massacre Of The 3DS And Wii U Is Finally Complete, Regrettably

Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
