Hardin Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 After the Nintendo Direct broadcast the other night, Nintendo released new StreetPass puzzles over the internet for all 3DS owners. In North America and Europe, gamers got a puzzle representing Mario Tennis Open. Japan on the other hand got Mario Tennis Open, as well as a Fire Emblem puzzle. For those of you who don't know, these puzzles are part of an app where you exchange data with other 3DS owners, and over time you are able to get new puzzle pieces and acquire the Miis of other people. This mode exchanges data with all 3DS's regardless of which region they are from. Here is a picture of the Fire Emblem puzzle. There is only one piece shown, as I haven't been able to find any other photos with a more complete puzzle at this time. https://twitter.com/#!/johntv/status/193580092310564864/photo/1 The most interesting thing though is what happens when an American 3DS exchanges data with a Japanese 3DS featuring the Fire Emblem puzzle. This message appears. https://twitter.com/#!/johntv/status/193671435561086978/photo/1 Rather than saying that the puzzle isn't available in this region, is says that the puzzle is not available yet. To me, this suggests a very high probability of the game being announced for localization at E3. I certainly hope that this is indeed the case, but we won't for some time.

Book of Ereshkigal Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Huh. So have there been puzzles that have been japan exclusive? To compare the message to, I can imagine that being a generic message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shun One Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 That sounds promising. US release would be strange considering how dignifican this game Is for Nintendo. This gives me hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Mecha Death Christ Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Sounds like a generic message to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
