Nintendo 3DS Reveal the Date of Announcement for Launch Details

Nintendo 3DS Reveal the Date of Announcement for Launch Details
Nintendo's business is not doing good.
We had mentioned that on July 14's entry "Nintendo 3DS Announce Details in Late July!? Camouflage to Bad Business Result!?".
How do you think?
Exchange rate is the main reason, nothing they can do.
They said as follow.

"At the end of fiscal year we need to exchange the money to Yen. In the past, foreign currency is profitable. Nowadays the fluctuation is huge, Euro can fluctuate for 15 Yen in 10 days, That's over the ability of business management." (From Nintendo General Meeting of Shareholders 2010)

They had predicted the problem huh.
But we've got some good news too.
They reveal the date to announce Nintendo 3DS's launch details. This is from Bloomberg.

"Nintendo 3DS will announce launching date, price and shipping data on September 29

July 29 (Bloomberg): Nintendo's new portable machine "Nintendo 3DS", scheduled for this fiscal year, will announce launching date, price and shipping data on September 29. Nintendo PR Yasuhiro Minagawa told Bloomberg News on July 29 during a phone interview." (From Bloomberg)

It should be revealed on July 30's meeting, but may be careless, or they want to decrease the bad business result's effect on stock price.
As predicted in "Nintendo 3DS Announce Details in Late July!? Camouflage to Bad Business Result!?", we've got news at the end of July huh.
July 30 should have other news. Anyway 3DS detail will be on September 29.
How about the upcoming schedule?
Japan should launch after 2 months of launching date announcement, should be November or December. The problem is oversea.
What's the problem?
North America's sales battle start from late November, they can't be late. But if America got a release within this year as in Japan, the production of both hardware and software may not fulfil the needs. Rumor saying a 2011 release for foreign market. Maybe Japan and North America within 2010, Europe get it by March 2011.
Anyway, let's wait for update.

Super Robot Wars OG The Inspector Anime and Upcoming SRW Info

Super Robot Wars OG The Inspector Anime and Upcoming SRW Info
"Super Robot Wars OG" will become anime again.
On television from this Autumn.
As a SRW fan, how do you think?
This is the last chance.
You mean no more sequel after this anime?
No, we have Gaiden so the story can continue. But if the anime can't succeed, there will be no more anime of SRW.
How was the last anime?
......
So bad...
Sales was bad, no matter the quality. The price dropped like a disaster.
How about the quality?
I watch old anime even nowadays, so I can accept that. But those audience who used to modern anime, it was disappointing.
Maybe that affect the sales.
For a SRW gamer, the anime just copy the game's story so no need to watch anime. Don't know who are the target of the anime huh.
Why was there an anime plan?
Just hope to earn some money, that's why it couldn't succeed. It should be a promotion to attract new gamers, but they never think about that and the result is failure.
Huh.
After all SRW's user is limited. Game can only sell 0.5 million, even though all of them watch the anime that's less than 1% of audience rating.
So they would just fail this time?
Yep. So they need new strategy.
New strategy?
Yep.
And that is!?
ERO!!
......
......
Well, I'm serious.
Are you crazy...
Be honest, they can't attract audience other than that...
......
The director is Masami Obari, just suitable for ERO.
Why...
Make some bath scene or swimsuit every episode then non-SRW fan would join.
How can a robot anime has such scene every episode...
Well, let's make a system to flow electricity inside the robot, and make the female characters shout erotically.
You go to hell...
Excellen do well in ERO.
For anime otaku, 23 years old is grandma and many people would ignore her...
......
......
Anyway let's look forward to such scene. If they fail this time that will be the last anime.
Lastly how about upcoming SRW?
No announcement before "Another Century Episode R". Should have some news around the anime but don't know if it is OG3 or normal SRW. Wait for Tokyo Game Show 2010 in September.
Roger.

Street Fighter X Tekken, Tekken X Street Fighter Revealed by Capcom and BANDAI NAMCO

Street Fighter X Tekken, Tekken X Street Fighter Revealed by Capcom and BANDAI NAMCO
Two Street Fighter versus Tekken collaborations announced.
Capcom's "Street Fighter X Tekken" and BANDAI NAMCO's "Tekken X Street Fighter". Capcom's would be on PS3 and Xbox 360, BANDAI NAMCO's waiting for further information.
How about that?
If one of them is boring, we will see the difference of the strength of these companies.
So cheap...
I can't say anything more by the announcement alone. Capcom may make an arcade version too. Like Street Fighter 4, they may launch an arcade version after a home console release. Or BANDAI NAMCO make an arcade version first, when it launch a home version, Capcom launch its arcade version at the same time.
Here is the details of Capcom's announcement.

"Street Fighter X Tekken"(Capcom version):

As in Street Fighter IV, 2D gameplay will feature fully realized 3D character models battling for domination in both new and familiar highly detailed environments that are brought to life with engaging animations. In addition to modes such as Versus and Training that will feature new enhancements to make the fighting experience more in-depth and enjoyable, Street Fighter X Tekken will include Tag Team combat where players select two fighters to deliver knockout assist attacks and special combos." (Capcom Press Release)

Anyway, Capcom is 2D, BANDAI NAMCO is 3D.
Interesting.
Capcom is good at home console online mode. Street Fighter 4 sales good so we can expect more.
"Tekken 6" sales good too I suppose?
Worse then Street Fighter 4 worldwide. Counting till March 31, 2010 Street Fighter 4 shipped 2.9 million. Tekken 6 shipped 2.9 million too but sales is not good and the price is dropping. Maker recall some stock too so Street Fighter 4 sold more.
Really.
2D and 3D is hard to compare, but we can know which one is better by the overall game balance, versus system, download content etc. We can know if they are user-friendly.
How would you predict?
From the past result Capcom should be better. I think BANDAI NAMCO should notice the truth that they could no longer cheat users. This time the game can be compared clearly, if they just think about money users would know easily. Hope the staff can provide good content to users with real heart.
We will update for you guys.

Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together Remake for PSP. More Sequel?

Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together Remake for PSP. More Sequel?
"Tactics Ogre" has new movement huh.
"Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together". Base on SFC version, remake with new features in story and character etc.
It is by the original staff, old fan should accpet the changes.
Here is the staff list. All original staff except Tsubasa Masao.

"Director: Hiroshi Minagawa
Game Design: Yasumi Matsuno
Character Design: Akihiko Yoshida, Tsubasa Masao
Composer: Hitoshi Sakimoto, Masaharu Iwata"

How do you about this remake?
Quite... great.
What an expression...
That is one of the remaining old games that I keep in my collection. I have the Sega Saturn version, and I store the console just for this game. SS emulator don't work.
SS version have character voice.
I doubt that in the past, but the outcome is positive. I never finish SS version but I really planned to complete it when all stuff settled.
And here a PSP remake comes out.
I recommend that to old fans and new users.
Classic huh.
But...
What's up...
Publish by SQUARE ENIX...
SE got the copyright.
Just like "FINAL FANTASY XII", I'm afraid they would just launch an incomplete game which Yasumi Matsuno is not satisfy...
Yasumi Matsuno said something on twitter. Maybe about this game.

"I know about this half year ago but no time left. Need to cut off 30 to 35% from the original planned content. Hard decision. Predicted sales is just X0,000 so I can only stick to schedule and budget. Give up?♪ This old song echo in my head." (Yasumi Matsuno's twitter: April 12, 2010)

Predicted sales is just X0,000? Impossible. SQUARE ENIX know nothing about the game. At least 0.1 million, maybe 0.2 million copies can be sold. This is the bad side of SE, they don't invest money in such field . That's why I don't want SE publish this game...
Not confirm that is talking about "Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together"...
Anyway, I think the original staff would do good job.
Hope so.
When will we get the game?
Japan maybe around the end of the year, or next year. Should be after November. And...
And?
Long time ago Yasumi Matsuno appear in the Wii demo comment. This PSP remake may link to further sequel on Nintendo consoles.
Woo.
But that comment movie is after he left SQUARE ENIX, maybe a different story. Anyway stay tuned.
