Friend Collection 3DS arriving in Japan next year
If you’ve never heard of Friend Collection 3DS before it’s nothing to be ashamed of. This is kooky Japanese Nintendo stuff at its finest.
The title was first teased last year, and Nintendo has been quiet about it since. Until now that is. Friend Collection 3DS has been given a 2013 release for Japan at the latest Nintendo Direct conference.
The game is basically a life simulation scenario making use of Nintendo’s Mii avatars and allowing them to take part in a range of mini-games.
The trailer of Friend Collection 3DS shows Iwata’s Mii learning to hula dance, boxing, riding a roller coaster, accessorising and singing in a rock band.
The only bad news about all of this is the original DS version of the game (Tomodachi Collection) was never released outside of Japan. So the chances of the 3DS version being released outside of this region aren’t so good either.
Maybe if we all cry out at once Nintendo’s western localisation teams will take note and realise we also want some crazy Iwata action on our 3DS.
OMG yes!
Haha, the trailer looks very cute. And Iwata seems to be channeling his inner K.K. Slider.
Iwata, really seems to be a groovy guy in real life, he doesn’t seem to mind having his name out there doing this sort of things. Then there was the random act of holding a bunch of bananas during a Nintendo Direct.
