Upcoming Nintendo Directs for Europe and North America scheduled for December 5th!

[Justin]

Look out folks, Nintendo of Europe and Nintendo of America have announced simultaneous Nintendo Directs for December 5th at 9AM PST/6PM CET! The presentations will be focused on both Wii U and Nintendo 3DS content. Most likely we'll see information for Wii U and 3DS titles coming early next year.

Nintendo of America has even gone as far to say "We'll be taking a fresh look at several announced Wii U and Nintendo 3DS games coming in 2013.", basically confirming the presence of Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

I honestly didn't expect one this early...
4am on thrusday for me... no thanks.

I'll probs check TBT before school as usual on my phone, luckily I get home early on thursday so I can see if there's anything cool.

I know usually I say I'm not expecting any ACNL, but this time I actually am, and if there isn't any I will be disappointed.

I do hope we get 'New Leaf' and not "let's turn over a new leaf because now you're mayor"
Actually, on second thoughts, I don't care what they call it. I just want a date!

the only reason City Folk became Lets Go To The City because in some parts of Europe a 'City Folk' means a gang

Oh really? I must live in a nice part, I've never heard that lol. I heard it was due to regional accents, there's certainly some English accents that could make folk sound a bit naughty!

Thursday 3am for me. No, not tuning in. I've gotta get up for work only a few hours after that. I'll wait to hear the news after I get home. I'm sure someone will post it.

 

[Sam]

Yes! Wednesday 5pm, perfect time! I shall definitely be watching eagerly and will post updated if there are any!

Meh...
I'd love to hear the 6 magic words "AC:NL is upcoming to Europe soon !", but i don't think a EU release date before a US date is possible...

 

[Sam]

I have no idea why everybody assumes America has to get the game before Europe! I mean, times are changing, we all know that. And, I dunno about you guys; but I certainly feel that EU has had more of a game plan recently when it comes to release dates than NA.

I mean, as early as last year, EU got Black and White 2 days before NA! Even if the date is later than NA's, that's not to say that they can't announce it first...

Since I just finished my international marketing class yesterday, I'm going to say this: They all have a release plan set up and ready to announce, they are just not announcing it to the public yet. It does not matter which country, as marketing techniques will be different for each, dependent on the individual marketing research. What works for one does not always work for another.

That said, I do think that it is a possibility that the two regions will be released together, but...currently, EU's release window is Spring, 2013 and NA's is Early (or first part, depending where you listened) 2013. Unless EU moves up their release window, I fully expect to see NA getting it before EU.

And it's called Let's Go To The City in Japan. I personally prefer it.
