Global Nintendo Directs coming in less than 24 hours! 8PM PDT(Japan) 9PM PDT(NoA)

[RisingSun]

Yes. We are still getting it in the fall in japan.

EDIT:
as for EU, the said the first half of 2013, meaning Q1, (early 2013).

NA always gets the game withing the same week. Don't worry. for example, if EU gets it February 17th, then NA will get it by February 25th

Well, I was hoping they would have it out before the world ended at the end of this year, but maybe I'll get lucky and it will come on by my birthday in February.

 

[Mikey]

It's just that now I'm a bit burnt out. We've been waiting quite some time and I'm just tired of Nintendo toying around with us. I just want the game already.

Couldn't agree more.

 

[Superpenguin]

I was really hoping I could it before or a couple weeks after school starts the game looks like a major stress reliever

 

[JKDOS]

Well, the fall semester usually goes so fast that it won't be to long of a wait. and like I said in the past, at least I'm not waiting in the dark goggling everyday and looking everyday for some kind of a release date. Now that I have a ETA i can sit back relax and wait

I think I might as well pick up WW again. Maybe start from the beginning? Hmm

Yeah start from the beginning unless you have a villager u really like or your museum is almost complete, it fun to. It know what your a doing at a game before you lay.

 

[JKDOS]

. It know what your a doing at a game before you lay.

hmm, I'm not sure what you are saying, but okay. I think I'll start from scratch. After all, I don't have much to loose since AC:3D will eventually replace WW in about 10 months from now.

 

[Superpenguin]

Over ten months? A bit dramatic are we?

 

[X66x66]

Over ten months? A bit dramatic are we?

Well, we know it's at least going to be 6 more months before it's in EU.

 

[Superpenguin]

Yeah but America will get first.

 

[JKDOS]

Over dramatic? That was an under statement. 10 months from now will be February, and there is no way it's gonna be out by then.

Ten months from now in which country??? In America it will be April.

 

[JKDOS]

I missed counted one month. I was trying to go to at-least Feb 22nd

 

[Superpenguin]

Two months to be exact, and in america I still have faith for 2012 release date.

 

[GuyWithThePie]

I don't see why it has to take 6 or 10 months for AC 3D to be released in the US, I mean, translating it to English can't take THAT long...

Can it?

 

[Jake]

Over ten months? A bit dramatic are we?

umm no

Well, we know it's at least going to be 6 more months before it's in EU.

It's a game, there is a bit of translation to be doing, it's roughly the same time it took for Pokemon black and white to get released from japan to english countries

 

[Superpenguin]

Well there's just so much dialogue. The only reason I think eu will get it before NA because they will translate it to all eu languages including English so it's already for America.

 

[BlueBear]

Considering that there's alot more to the 3DS version they're going to have to translate EVERYTHING (even animal names to translate) so I think it's pretty reasonable..

this, and also because they might need to remove japanese events out of the game such as from city folk (events like tanabata, Kodomo no Hi, tsukimi, setsubun etc) to put in more of the traditional events that other regions celebrate (valentine's day, father + mother's day, labour day) and invent new events as well (like nature day, bunny day, explorer's day).

this is just the difference in events for japan and other regions for city folk. Who knows why there is a delay for an international release but holidays/events might be one of the reasons.
