- Nintendo's Conference was last night. A few games were announced - Fire Emblem 3DS in 2012, Monster Hunter 4 coming to 3DS (this is *huge* in Japan and might seal the deal on the 3DS vs. Vita console war if Vita doesn't get it as well -- which it might), and Bravely Default: Flying Fairy. Yeah, you read that right. Thanks, Square. It looks like 4 Warriors of Light 2 got rebranded to this. There were a few others in there too. Wang did a recap post with dates if you want to know the raw details - http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/60308643/671193041
Giant Bomb has a quick writeup on the whole event - http://www.giantbomb.com/news/nintendo-holds-hour-long-press-conference-to-announce-monster-hunter-4/3657/
- Frankenstick got some more details despite being conspicuously absent at the 3DS conference last night. Here's a new pic -
- apparently this thing has a AAA battery and is currently compatible with multiple games - Resident Evil, MGS3DS, KH3D and more. It sounds like it's going to cost $20. If they don't do a hardware revision soon, I don't know what they're going to do. MH4 clinches it. - Huge Skyward Sword update on neogaf with everything people know. Zelda fans can check this out because I have no damn idea what most of it means. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=444700 There's some new trailers and demos from last night in there too.
- This NOA tweet strikes me as being a Big Deal for Zelda fans - http://twitter.com/#!/NintendoAmerica/status/113472477698592768
- Four Swords is getting some new content - NES and GBA stages - to along with its free download. It's out at the end of the month.
- Nintendo's stock dropped 5% today following the conference, which makes no sense to me since they just secured their future in Japan with Monster Hunter 4 but whatever. Yahoo puts up an editorial - "Nintendo is killing itself." kekeke. http://news.yahoo.com/nintendo-killing-itself-164557665.html
- Rolento, Lili, Zangief and Heihachi confirmed for SFxT. Pics here - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=444652 - there's also a ton of supers and ultras around if you want to check them. I know EventHubs has them all if you're curious.
