Natsume has recently announced that Harvest Moon: A New Beginning will be launching in North America earlier than previously announced. The game was scheduled for release on the 6th of November, but the game will now be in stores sometime next week.
Nintendo has announced that a slew of demos will be coming soon to North America, including:
Hopefully it doesn’t take long before we have more specific dates for the demos.
Nintendo of America has announced that, if you purchase an eligible title from the eShop before January 6th, 2013 you will receive a download code for Donkey Kong: Original Edition which contains content never before seen in North America. You can click here to read all the details on the promotion.
Nintendo of America has confirmed that the downloadable content packs for New Super Mario Bros. 2 (which were announced yesterday) are coming to North America. Unfortunately, they didn’t provide further details, but the packs will arriving sometime soon.
Reggie Fils-Aime, the President of Nintendo of America has explained that, the white 3DS XL hasn’t come to North America is because the lighter-coloured products “don’t sell very well” in the region. But not all hope is lost, because Nintendo is:
…going to look at the opportunity on a much more limited basis. You might see a limited-time offer with a white or silver 3DS XL, or we might colorize it slightly differently.
Just don’t expect a lighter-coloured version to become one of their always-available options.

Capcom has confirmed that a Monster Hunter game will be released in North America this year. Unfortunately, the information they can’t reveal for the moment is “what it is” and “when we’ll know”. With the approach of the Tokyo Game Show though, along with the media briefing on the 13th, there’s lots of room for announcements.
