Here's what we got(Confirmed!) :

Kirby trailer: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/library...110128/07.html

Kirby Wii game by Hal, trailer was shown(Looks like the old gc verison). This year in Japan
Just Dance And Goldeneye are being released in Japan by Nintendo
Pandora's tower is coming out this year
-They have many other unannounced wii games in development

3DS

May the eShop(3DIZED old games) and browser opens, plus DSI transfers.


Iwata: The reason they are only releasing dogs at launch, is because the software that is equivalent to wii sports for the wii is pre-bundled into the 3ds. Also they wanted attention for 3rd parties.

Because of this, they have games that were completed even before dogs yet will be released afterwards

-They've got many software that can be sold this year, but haven't been announced.

Sales
- Last story and 3ds Pre-orders are both good.

Question: Western third party support for 3ds is weak, isn't it?

Answer: The importance(ratio) of hand-helds is weak overseas which makes it difficult to devote resources towards handheld only games. I believe the importance of hand-helds in the west will increase, will that be enough to move western developers? it will become clear By looking at western publishers developments towards NGP and other factors.

Also, you shouldn't copy/paste threads from other forums without giving them credit.

I can copy paste what ever I please

Just give them credit.

The website for Pandora's Tower is practically identical to the ones for Xenoblade, Other M, and The Last Story from last year.

Which means it probably won't see a NA release.

All I can say about giant sword Kirby is yes, please.

Also, is the cowboy hat a new one? I feel like I've never seen it before..

Says a lot about Epic Yarn's art style that I'm a little underwhelmed by the appearance of New Kirby.

That being said, the whacking great attack moves come pretty close to making up for it.

And do we know anything about Pandora's Tower other than the title?

I really enjoyed Epic Yarn, but I'm ready for a Kirby game that feels a bit more like a Kirby game. So this looks great.

We don't know anything about Pandora's Tower, but a lot of people are speculating that it's an RPG.
