E3: Japanese Wii U Titles to be Announced Later

June 5, 2012 Devin Kotani442

Nintendo’s E3 press-conference aired earlier today, and some may have noted that most of the 3^rd party content shown for the Wii U was from Western developers, with a presentation from Ubisoft, as well as clips from games such as EA’s Mass Effect 3 and THQ’s Darksiders II.

But where were the Japanese games? A (very) roughly translated tweet from Nintendo president, Satoru Iwata seems to suggest that the games from Japanese developers, along with price and release date, will be revealed at a later date. The poorly translated text follows:

Because I think third-party software lineup [Iwata] for Japan, again the opportunity, along with the announcement of the Release Date and price, such as hard, and would like to introduce, thank you. ‪ # Iwata_E3

Hopefully, localization announcements for these Japanese titles will follow soon after.
