Bravely Default was the highlight of Nintendo’s conference for me. Also, Monster Hunter 4 not coming to Sony any time soon (according to Sony) is definitely a big coup for Nintendo. Who cares if they moneyhatted Capcom? As if Sony and Microsoft don’t do that regularly. It’s about time Nintendo dipped into their vault to start securing content for their machines that people want.
