Nintendo also today revealed a special edition Animal Crossing: New Leaf 3DSXL bundle that sports a special design and includes a preinstalled copy of the game.

The bundle will retail for $220 in North America.

Lastly, Nintendo announced today that a new entry in the Professor Layton series will release in 2014 for 3DS in North America. This game is called Professor Layton and the Azran Legacies and as developer Level-5 said August, will be Layton's last adventure.

Bravely Default? Are you kidding me? That is the name? Wow...they really need to make these game names coming from Japan a little more inventive instead of translated.

@Armysniper89 You know it was called Bravely Default: Flying Fairy in Japan too right? It's not a translation, just a bizarre name lol

@Breyant I don't follow games from Japan so know. OK now I am even more concerned. Who names games there and what drug are they on? ;)

Western culture embraces maturity while Eastern culture embraces youth, that's my observation.

@franzito Apparently it was critically acclaimed in Japan and was praised for returning to SE's Final Fantasy roots.

Let's see how it goes.

Another RPG for the 3DS. There were about 5,632 RPGs for the DS and I knew it would continue for the 3DS so I got one.

I suppose this is great news, if you're a fan of portables. Once again console owners get the shaft on RPGs.

2014 is a while away but honestly I'm just completely stoked that we are getting in NA at all. I think Square is starting to turn a new leaf and ill be buying this day one. Just go click on forum section of this game and you can see the post I made months ago about how bewildered I was that Square wasn't localizing this stateside. Well I was wrong and I'm sorry for the hate Square - cant wait to play this gorgeous looking game! Very excited!!!!

The trailer says, "Coming This Year." This year is 2013 not 2014....

@FFBMason It also says "PEGI 12", not "Rated T for Teen"... that's EU, where it will be releasing this year.

I was almost looking forward to learning Japanese via a videogame.

SE has still been solid with the DS games, and this seems like a culmination of all that.

Great to hear a definite response about this.

@CraigNinten @flameon12346 She certainly isn't dressed like one though, and her body doesn't really give me the 12 year old girl sense.

Hahaha I know she fictional. My point is that I need to buy this game, and that she is a hot fictional female character which is normal. Not saying I wish I was can with her, and all that other nonsense.
