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.
