    3D World is looking as good as ever. I don't really care for Rosalina, but more playable characters are always welcome (Still, the lack of online co-op is egregious oversight). The Miiverse support on the 3DS is very late, but is still welcome.

    The unified account should've came around a good few year ago with the DS and Wii, but these are steps towards Nintendo actually having tolerable on-line functionality.

    I was actually looking forward to finally get to know the publisher of Shin Megami Tensei IV and it's release date since the same dude who did the direct also announced that the game will be coming to Europe later this year, maximum disappointment.

    At least i'm happy about the Bravely Default's demo, at least one good thing.

    His name is Satoru Shibata and he is a good man.

    Although it is funny that there was no mention of SMTIV at ALL. Good thing I'm burned out on the series or I'd be pissed.

    Wait, you mean it's not out over there yet? I've had my copy for over a month.
    Yep. It's typical that Europe gets the short end of the stick when it comes to SMT games anyway. It took like, 10 months since the US release for us to get Nocturne over here.

    iirc the shortest release gap between the US and EU for an SMT game was Persona 4 Golden. November 2012 for USA, February 2013 for us Europeans.
    I gave up hope after all the Persona 4 Arena fiasco anyway, and just burned out.

    Hey at least we get Bravely Default first...something I don't really care for. Heh. I'd rather Mario Party and I'm sure I'm alone lol.
