Nintendo to help Japanese companies bring their 3DS games West

"Among those third-party titles both developed and published in Japan, there have been some games which Nintendo published in Europe, including the Professor Layton series," president Satoru Iwata explained in a presentation today. "We will increase the number of such games for the U.S. market as well as in Europe. We are also willing to flexibly assist third-party developers in distributing their valuable games overseas." In other words, Nintendo will outright publish more games from other companies, and assist in the distribution of others.

Come on Bravely Default!

Thanks to Joystiq.

For the full fiscal meetup.

Hopefully This will be good news for us about Bavely Default. IDK we'll see.

Sounds good. The whole reason I even bought a 3DS was to play JRPGs and other Japanese games. I hope they can bring over quite a few to the West.

good

That's some good news.

the game i most wanted was project x zone....even more than than bravely default....so i am satisfied.....but if BD does come here i will also buy it...looks good.

the game i most wanted was project x zone

I want these so bad.

I want Fantasy Life >.<

I think Capcom has all the resources to publish Ex Troopers here, but if this helps the cause then good.

Strange time to announce this during reports of large losses by Nintendo, but great news nonetheless. It has always been a shame to see great games miss localization.
