Finally, a game starring Blue Toad
I should start this preview by saying that I was not a fan of Super Mario 3D Land. Upon hearing the news of Super Mario 3D World, I was initially a little disappointed. Now, I've played a little bit of 3D World, and I've got to say, I was pleasantly surprised.

Can we get one of these in real life?
Upon picking up my Wii U, getting Nintendo Land was something of an inevitability. I can’t say I was particularly excited for it, but I knew it was coming part and parcel with my Deluxe system. Surely New Super Mario Bros. U was going to get the bulk of my attention because, well, it’s Mario. But on a whim, I decided to break the system out of its box and try this flagship title first. While I can’t ask New Super Mario Bros. U how it feels (being a game and all), I can only assume it’s pretty upset as it has spent most of its life in its box thus far. Yes, Nintendo Land is that good.
AKA Nintendo Circus, depending on who you ask
Like many of you out there, I wasn’t terribly impressed by Nintendo’s press conference at this year’s E3. One of the things they touted as being a major showpiece was a game called Nintendo Land. Much like Wii Sports, the aim of this title is to introduce players to a new controller--in this case the Wii U GamePad--through a virtual theme park bursting with references to classic Nintendo franchises. At each attraction, your mii will don an appropriate costume and partake in a challenge that teaches the player a new way to use the Wii U GamePad. Nintendo’s hope is that this game will do for the Wii U what Wii Sports did for the Wii, and explain to new players exactly what the Wii U is all about.
The title Miyamoto excitedly revealed years ago during a round table will finally be seen by the public.
Yesterday, we reported that Nintendo would be showing off a new Mario title for its soon-to-be-released Wii U console at E3. However, it appears that Shigeru Miyamoto also let slip that a Pikmin game would be at E3 in the same interview with Spanish newspaper, El Mundo. Again, the details were questionable, but Nintendo has issued the following statement to address concerns:
Video shows his attacks and a match.
Super Smash Bros Brawl for the Wii was released in 2008 and is one of the premiere multiplayer games for the console and it should come as no surprise that some gamers try to improve upon what is already there. Modders have now included an additional character into the game, Waluigi.
Luigi's Mansion makes a surprise return in this 3DS sequel.
To be honest, I wasn't the biggest fan of the original Luigi's Mansion. It's not that I thought it was a bad game, but I always thought it was a bit boring. That's why I'm surprised to say that I enjoyed my time with Luigi's Mansion 2. The game seems to be following the same, humorous roots as the original, but expands on them in ways that make it not only accessible, but fun on the 3DS hardware.
Mario Kite...i mean Kart races on to the 3DS, and it's AWESOME
Mario Kart for the Nintendo 3DS is definitely looking to once again suck up massive amounts of playtime from gamers. My hands on with the game surely proves that may very well be the case this holiday.
