Sounds promising. Hope Bravely Default is one of them.

Key games meaning what I wonder? Wouldn't mind seeing more Dragon Quest games brought over and other series as well.

If Nintendo really wanted to experiment with more success, you'd think they license Mother 3 or at least see how Earthbound would fare in today's market.

Yes, I know the reasoning behind why Nintendo hasn't re-released this game but it's been 18 years since this game was released for the Super Nintendo, so surely some agreement could be reached.

Wouldn't it be funny if Key games meant actual games by Key, like Kanon and Clannad?

That is what I thought the title meant! LOL!

I think there's still a lot of work to be done with the 3DS. The original DS had a lot of novelty that I think has worn off by now and 3D alone probably isn't going to carry this system (in fact, for some it's a deterrent). Despite the novelty, the DS had a huge game library with a lot of variety - a lesson Nintendo hopefully takes to heart. When they say "key games" I really do hope they reach out for a variety here as well. And yes, Bravely Default would be a nice addition!

I thought the same thing... the article title could probably be worded better. Just by the title it makes it sound like they are bringing games developed by Key over here.

That's exactly what I thought too. Perhaps the article was worded thay way to generate clicks but I assume it's just a poorly-worded title.

Well, "Key" is quoted, so presumably somebody thought that would be enough for people to realize they weren't referring to the company(or at least enough to claim it's not confusing in a legal sense, in which case I say "Well played").

I did to, if anyone could stop key from being borderline xenophobic it would probably be Nintendo.

I can just imagine how Key games would go over with a typical American gamer. "I've been wandering around this damned school for five hours talking to random people. When's the actual game gonna start?"

Yes, I'm sure Lego City Undercover is a core game that is a must-have.

I would hope one of those key games is Danball Senki Baku Boost, but that's asking for too much I feel.

Dang it, I was about to give them all my money if they meant the company Key.
