Topic: 2013 the year for 3DS?

Rocket Slime wouldn't be that expensive to loacalize. It's not like we're talking about an RPG here.

Regardless of price to localization, I wouldn't be too optimistic about that based solely off of it's predecessor. But hey, who knows? We got unexpected sequels before.

I think as fans who care about this stuff, we should remember to tell people about this game when someone talks about how they like (insert series that's in this game here) or the genre of the game. That might help. Or it might not, I dunno. I don't want Namco being cool and nice to fans to be for nothing.

M&L Dream Team
Mario Golf

This is shaping up to be a great year...and it's only February!

When I made this thread I didn't know about many things that are now upcoming, Im definitely sure, its the year of the 3DS, and next year will be the year of Wii U !

I can't seem to remember, was Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney confirmed for localization here in the U.S.?

Isn't it wonderful how, while Nintendo could be making a 3DS game of F-Zero, Starfox, Kirby, Metroid or Zelda, we get

• A Mario + Luigi game
• A Mario Golf game
• A Mario vs. Donkey Kong game
• A New Super Mario Bros. level pack

So much for giving Mario a break huh?
Oh sorry! I forgot. We got a Zelda community on Miiverse, because that's a thing right?

Hopefully those will be saved for e3

I was hoping that we'd actually get those this year. Oh well - there's always 2014?

2014 will be year of the yoshi!

That sadly wouldn't surprise me, judging by Luigi's involvement in his year. Having not released a Yoshi game for home consoles in ~14 years, 2014 seems like a great year to pretend they still care about the characters games. They're already releasing Yarn Yoshi, so now all they need to do is release a 'Yoshi themed' NSMB level pack and maybe feature him in Mario Golf and their job is done. -.-

How about a year of Wario? That would be sick. WarioWare, Wario Land, Wario and Mario revival, Waluigi finally gets a game.

im a little disappointed that they remade wind waker insted of the 2 choices that nintendo promised they were majoras or zelda snes ( i forget what it is called )

Don't count any of those game franchises (Zelda, Kirby, Metroid, or the others) out when it comes to getting new installments. Anyways, didn't Nintendo say that there would be several Zelda games in developments in the next fiscal year? I feel like we did get quite a few Kirby goodies recently too. I always thought because of the so-so reception of Other M, there would be a wait for a new Metroid since there's not a clear direction for the franchise.

Anyway, please support Namco, as I know (though I'm not going to name my source) that Namco is going through some hard times, and is actually seeking to downsize their international division. Less games are going to be localized outside of Japan because of recent games not doing so well, so please support them in any way that you can if you want future Namco produced games to be seen in your region.

I'm hoping for a lot more 3DS support. I knew by just looking at how the games market is, but here in Japan and in other countries that the WiiU wouldn't be an immediate hit. If it hits its stride later on who knows, but the 3DS is the big seller right now, especially in my country. I feel that Nintendo should really support the system that their fans are gravitating towards. Its very rare for me to take the train and not see a bunch of people playing in their 3DSs, and so many people here own one. There are so many good games currently out for it, and many more coming soon.

well, they could still be making a MM remake for the 3ds, right? : )

Yeah, they never said that it was off the cards, and I was always under the impression that they were seriously considering it. Its so funny that anyone could be disappointed about a Wind Waker remake, the original is still tied with MM as my favourite Zelda game ever. Its beautiful, and the new screenshots are lucky. the Wind Waker remake and Pikmin 3 are the only things that are making me wish I was even considering getting a WiiU.

Looking at all the stuff they announced and Fire Emblem Awakening, yes this could be the year of 3DS.

There has been a steady stream of great retail and download releases since late 2011. What you're saying just doesn't seem true to me.

Really. Virtue's Last Reward? Prof. Layton and the Miracle Mask? Paper Mario: Sticker Star? Crimson Shroud? Crashmo? Tons of great VC stuff? And that's only a small portion of the software that has been out since that time.

thank you for ignoring how I was clearly talking about Project X Zone
