Animal Forest + confirmed for American release

   Satoru Iwata, Nintendo's General Manager, and Shigeru Miyamoto, its most renowned designer, held a roundable conference with journalists in Las Vegas today where Miyamoto confirmed the U.S. release of Animal Forest +. According to Miyamoto, the game is due for release this fall, and the reason for the wait lies in the gigantic amount of translation necessary: "... if you look at an RPG with a lot of text in it, Animal Forest probably has four or five times the amount as something like that."

   He also touched on the chances of a U.S. release for Doshin the Giant and Animal Leader. At present, Nintendo is still considering them for localization but has made no decision; Miyamoto then encouraged gamers who would like to see the two games translated to "raise your voices and encourage us to do so."
