NintendoEverything’s E3 2013 Coverage – Hub Page
Posted on 10 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, Features, Site updates, Wii U | 0 comments
On the off-chance that you missed any of the podcasts, in-depth impressions, or videos we put up of our experience at E3 2013, I’ve decided to compile a hub-article for you to view everything in one place. It’s pretty straightforward, so check it out and read anything you think might be interesting! We have more coverage coming in the next day or two as well, so stay tuned and watch for updates.
The gang craps all over Super Mario 3D World, loves Pikmin 3, praises Platinum Games, and gets into the most intense laughing fit the world has ever known. We’d like to apologize in advance for the length, the content, and the potentially loud snores from Laura as she fell asleep halfway through.
Here’s a Podcast – E3 2013, Day Two Spectacular
The second of our E3 2013 podcast specials is slightly more focused… but still a little odd. We give our impressions of Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies, Killer is Dead, Bayonetta 2, and Batman: Arkham Origins (which we liked), as well as some thoughts on Mario 3D World, LEGO: Friends, and Deus Ex: Human Revolution, (which we were more tepid towards). Your listener mail rounds out this one.
Here’s a Podcast – E3 2013, Day Three Spectacular
This final E3 2013 episode has impressions of Killer is Dead, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, some final thoughts on Super Mario 3D World, and much more. As always we get your listener mail and go over some categorized favorites at the end of the show, like our favorite booth attendants!
Hands-On Impressions
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
A direct sequel proves to be the freshest handheld Zelda game in years.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies
The Ace Attorney makes his return to court.
“It’s just probably not going to be a great game. Not if the demo is any indication anyhow.”
“I see it as a spiritual sequel, a continuation, refinement, and extrapolation of what was established in Sonic Colors.”
Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games
The blue blur and his plump plumbing rival return to The Olympics, but it’s not as exciting as Nintendo and SEGA might want you to believe.
The latest entry in the Pikmin series has been in the works for nearly 9 years, and it shows.

Sakurai confirms single-player campaign for Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS will include a single-player campaign like the series’ previous entry, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. But it will be different from the Subspace Emissary.
Sakurai offered up one specific. It sounds like the team will be creating movie-like sequences once again, but these videos will be available at the beginning – no unlocking will be required. Players will be able to watch movies for Wii Fit Trainer, The Villager and Mega Man immediately.
Other differences are currently unknown.
According to Sakurai:
Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl getting Japanese demo this month
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Atlus is preparing a Japanese demo for Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl. The download will be ready to go on June 19. Progress made in the demo can be transferred to the full game, similar to the Etrian Odyssey IV demo.
Sakurai not saying what happens when Kirby eats Mega Man in new Smash Bros.
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
It should come as no surprise that Masahiro Sakurai is keeping quiet on specific elements of the new Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS games. Sakurai is not, for instance, talking about what happens when Kirby eats Mega Man.
Sakurai only offered up the following:
“A lot of what you’re asking is still classified. As far as the physical appearance of Kirby, I think what you imagine is probably pretty close to what will actually happen.”
When asked if Kirby would receive an Mega Buster, Sakurai said: “He’s got little tiny arms, so who knows.”
Aonuma: Zelda: A Link Between Worlds not a direct sequel, same world with some changes
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is a sequel to A Link to the Past, but it isn’t a direct sequel. However, the SNES and 3DS do share the same world.
Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma also told Kotaku that the new game may include “a different generation of Link and Zelda.”
“It’s not a direct sequel in the sense that it’s the same Link and Zelda. The world is the same and it might be a different generation of Link and Zelda.”
Aonuma also went into some detail about the similarity between the two worlds. There will be some changes in topography, land, and probable modifications to the dungeons in terms of what’s inside.
“It’s the same world. It’s the same space. But in the same way that, over time, the topography can change, there will be some changes. The land will be affected a little bit. The dungeons, for the most part, will be in the same place, but inside might change. Now that I say that out loud, it sounds a little strange, but we’re making decisions based on what’s best for gameplay. We’re picking and choosing what we change and what we don’t, so players can expect some changes.”
Aonuma also believes that the ability to turn Link into a drawing will let “players see it in a whole new light.”
Japanese Year of Luigi site open
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Just as it did in Europe, Nintendo launched a Japanese website for the Year of Luigi today. Find it here. The page has the same items as the European one, but with a different design. Japanese fans can also get a look at the special Luigi 3DS XL that will launch with Mario & Luigi: Dream Team.
Aonuma on Zelda getting her own game, top-down for handheld Zeldas, Majora’s Mask 3DS remake, visual style, storytelling, putting Zelda in a new era
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma weighed in on a number of new topics in yet another interview. This time, Aonuma commented on the possibility of Zelda getting her own game, why the handheld Zeldas usually see a top-down perspective, his thoughts on remaking Zelda: Majora’s Mask for the 3DS, putting Zelda in a different era, and more.
