I'll be updating this post as the night goes on. Keep checking back for more details.

- 3 pokemon titles for DS in usa (Pokemon Conquest, Black/White 2)

[LegendofSantiago]

Black and white 2 should have had a 3DS optimized version at the very least. :/
It all sounds pretty cool. I'm looking forward to seeing what Nintendo is going to surprise us with throught the year.

@LegendofSantiago

Considering they have an app where you can capture Pokemon through a Face Raiders AR game, I feel like that's good. Obviously it supports the 3DS functions.

Not sure why it needs to have 3D. Though I also don't see why it can't, since obviously they could hide full colors on Gameboy cartridges.

I know there is a slim chance of this happening, but I'm hoping to hear at least some Wii U info

Supplementary Info about Earnings Release

Paper Mario and Animal Crossing release dates are TBD for us here in the UK and Europe [whereas LM2 is still 2012]...!


3DS post xmas in japan success has accelerated while not overseas

Only has 6 in top 20 titles in usa versus over 15 in top 20 in japan, usa should be 3x jp performance

Ouch.

[Chosenoneknuckles]

@ddddd Lol at him tweeting NSMB2 wrong:

Views super smach bros 2 as key to usa and will have long term demand


3ds has only 2, 3, 2 titles in top 20 in germany, france, spain respectively, 2 in UK

Fair enough [Kid Icarus was #3, last I looked].


WiiU - will launch this year in jp,us,eu and australia, more details at E3, that presso repeated in jp one week later

No duh.


E3 will NOT include price details for WiiU

We in the UK and Europe better not be subject to a non RRP model like the 3DS again!

[LegendofSantiago]

@Chosenoneknuckles Maybe to avoid the whole psv vs 3DS pricing thing

[motherbra1n]

"Wii U price will not be revealed at E3"

oh what the hell, why not.

are these facts or are they just predictions from some kind of analyst cos if it's the latter where's the part about nintendo being doomed?

[Chosenoneknuckles]

@Chosenoneknuckles Maybe to avoid the whole psv vs 3DS pricing thing

*shrugs* Still seems odd to me [even if they did do this with the Wii in '06].

3ds standard title globally include mario kart etc, but also monster hunter, fire emblem, kid icarus, plus pokemon titles on ds will help

The last bit makes not a lick of sense, but w/e.

[Meelow100]

I'm not shocked they won't give price details at E3, they never do for any system.

[YoshiRider123]

I'd like to point out that Fire Emblem is missing from the 2012 launch schedule for both North America and Europe.

[LegendofSantiago]

@Chosenoneknuckles I would like them to announce the price, but i'm fairly certain it's going to be about $300 or less

I can't recall what the Wii was in pounds here in the UK at launch...[?]

Launching 3ds in korea tomorrow,planning other countries as well, now talking about the potential of digital

Ohhh. eShop related-stuff I bet.


New super mario bros 2 will be offered for packaged or full download to SD card

Megaton?

[LegendofSantiago]

@Chosenoneknuckles Maybe they accidently outed the global release of FE (which i'm positive is coming) and MH 3G (which has been strongly hinted at)

[MoldyClay]

Doesn't seem like a whole lot.

Still upset by most of those million sellers. Regardless of how long they've been out versus Skyward Sword, I feel like Galaxy is the only one that deserves to have sold so much more than it.

"New super mario bros 2 will be offered for packaged or full download to SD card"

Mind blown. So that site a while back WASN'T making stuff up.

But how much will the download version cost?

[ddddd]

"New super mario bros 2 will be offered for packaged or full download to SD card"

[LegendofSantiago]

"New super mario bros 2 will be offered for packaged or full download to SD card" Does this mean that it will come bundled with 3DSs? If so, that's an amazing idea.

[GolfDude]

it means that so called "error" on their press site wasnt a lie, that it was both ways..

retail and eshop download!

[MoldyClay]

"Digital buys will also include retail as place for payment and download, but said "it does look complicated" in demo"

What? I don't... what is being said here?

@LegendofSantiago

It means it will be offered at retail or download via eShop.

I don't know how you drew that conclusion.

[Chosenoneknuckles]

@LegendofSantiago It'd certainly push hardware [as well as software]!

If so, then the Wii U could come with Wii U Sports / Play installed on the system?

Digital buys will also include retail as place for payment and download, but said "it does look complicated" in demo

Ok then...?

Wonder how much of a price cut we can expect on these digital titles, though.

[motherbra1n]

@Chosenoneknuckles

I believe the wii was £180 at launch

[Mike_Intellivision]

I imagine we should see more news for a north America at E3
I did not see anything that we did not already know.

"3ds standard title globally includes mario kart etc, but also monster hunter, fire emblem, kid icarus, plus pokemon titles on ds will help"

Fire Emblem confirmed for America?

[LegendofSantiago]

@MoldyClay I guess i read it wrong. I read "packaged" and assumed it was to be bundled.
