Jason grabs hands on impressions of the latest 3D Mario game after the Nintendo press conference.
Picture Super Mario Bros. 3 and put it in a 3D Mario game, and that’s about what it felt like. There were some major changes though, things you definitely need to know about before you can call them the same thing.
A Nintendo promotional reel reveals the game.
Further information from Nintendo after the reel, reveals that the game is in fact Luigi's Mansion 2. The trailer appears to feature new locales, including several new mansions for players to traverse. Mummies were spotted in the trailer, but little else new, just ghosts.
Jason gets some hands on time with Twisted Metal, but more importantly gets the full scoop on the details of the game.
Brief hands on time with the latest build of Twisted Metal was available after the Sony press conference. During my hands on time, I learned that the game is scheduled for release in just a few short months on October 4. While I didn't have the opportunity to play much of the game, it was clear that it was a faster paced experience than what the series has offered in the past. Though brisker in pace, the game felt controllable and smooth, just as Nick reported at last year's E3.
