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.
Two years in a row, media have been impeded by exhibitors to provide content to eager game fans and readers worldwide.
E3, the future of gaming. A mecca for all those involved in the industry. This is my second year attending the show, and it’s the second year this same scenario occurred. There’s a problem, particularly an issue with select attendees, and it needs to be discussed.
Some choice quotes from today.
Most of these were quickly scribbled downs, so check back with Pixlbit for the full E3 scoop on Wiiu, 3DS, and the rest of E3 news.
The game will see a host of new features.
Nintendo announced during their press conference today that Mario Kart 3DS will be making its way to stores this holiday season. The game will see some new features, like gliders, underwater tracks complete with propeller carts, and tire choices for different handling. Nothing more of the game was announced, but it appears to be a slight departure from past entries in the series.

The staff lends their best guesses for what the upcoming show has to offer excited gamers.
E3 2011 appears to have crept up on us once again. Just as we did last year, the staff has come together to provide predictions for the coming show. This year, unlike last year, most of the show is a huge question mark.
Only eleven titles won't be available for transfer from your DSi to your shiny new 3DS.
With the eShop coming in just a few days, Nintendo has provided a list of games that won't be transferable to the 3DS from the DSi. According to Nintendo's official support page, there will be eleven titles that won't make the cut.
Yes... you’re reading that headline correctly.
To much surprise, tucked in the middle of Konami’s Pre-E3 Conference video was the reveal of the “Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.” The package will feature MGS 2, MGS 3: Snake Eater and MGS: Peace Walker. Oddly enough, Metal Gear Solid wasn’t included, so Twin Snakes might be the most “HD” experience for players. Leaving that fact aside, the collection will not only be available for the PS3, but the 360 as well and will support 1080p graphics. Don’t worry though MGS purists; PS3 looks to be the system to own it on. The PS3 will get an exclusive feature, labeled “Transfarring,” which allows players to stop a game in progress, transfer their Peace Walker game file to a PSP, and continue where they left off.
