New and tentative game announcements

[Kikki]

This is worthy of a double post.

The fella who created and maintained the gaming blog Japanese Nintendo, has died. (Brian Cooper, on November 27th.) I've no idea what happened, but I know that's a site a lot of us followed over the years as it used to be one of the first places you'd catch a scan of the first hint of a new Bokumono game in Famitsu magazine.

I don't know if this has any connection to the fact that he had been looking for someone to take over the site for him a few months back. Could be totally unrelated, since there are no details about what happened and there was even a post on JN on the 27th.

That's honestly really heartbreaking and he and his passion will be missed. When I has a Japanese 3DS, he was my go-to for new titles and sales. I played a lot of really good games I would have never known of thanks to his input.

It is awful; he wasn't that old. I don't know what happened, so all I can do is hope that it was something peaceful, not something that made him suffer. His site was very clean and straightforward without any unnecessary stuff, and he always covered Bokumono and Rune Factory news from Japan right away, long, loooong before it became popular enough to make it into a Nintendo Direct.

EDIT: In agreement with Bluie, who suggested it, this thread will be closed soon, in honour of Mr. Cooper, who gave us a lot of news we posted here. A new one will be started soon. Thanks to everyone who has been participating; see you in the new thread.
