This year, Sega announced a partnership with Nintendo to bring three Sonic the Hedgehog games exclusively to Nintendo platforms, namely the Wii U and 3DS. The first game they announced was Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games, a new entry in the Mario & Sonic Olympics series. The second game is a core Sonic title, Sonic: Lost World. Coming later this year to Wii U and 3DS, this new game will see Sonic on a whole new adventure in a new world.

Hit the jump to see what we know so far about Sonic: Lost World.

Nintendo at E3 – a look back – E3 2002 and E3 2003

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Features, GameCube, GBA, General Nintendo, Videos | 0 comments

Two videos for the price of one tonight!

Unfortunately, there isn’t much footage from Nintendo’s E3 2002 conference. That leads to more trailers rather than content directly from the briefing. We did end up with one of the first clips from F-Zero GX, as well as new looks at titles such as Super Mario Sunshine and Zelda: The Wind Waker.

E3 2003 was certainly more exciting from the perspective of available footage, but it is sort of known as one of Nintendo’s duds. Two big aspects were highlighted during the conference: GameCube to Game Boy Advance connectivity and partnerships. Zelda: Four Swords and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes were arguably the two biggest announcements. Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles was made public as well. Shigeru Miyamoto popped up on stage to reveal that he was working on a Pac-Man title for the GameCube… which was kind of Nintendo’s main announcement for the show.

Check back tomorrow as we take a look at Nintendo’s E3 2004 conference, featuring the unveil of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Eggbusters Season Finale! – The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask

Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Videos | 0 comments

The first season of Eggbusters has come to a close! This episode is really long. Like, real-life-TV length. So get a bucket of popcorn and take a seat at your computer, because there’s a lot to digest, from party tricks to exploration glitches, and even some you may have heard of. Thank you all very much for watching and supporting (especially you guys on NE instead of just Youtube), and I hope you look forward to the return of this shin-dig sometime in the future!

Here’s a Podcast – Episode 44!

Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Podcast | 0 comments

This picture is how I feel about our podcast.

It’s a long one, but a good one for you this week! Some pointed discussions during “what we played” start us off, and we continue onwards with a silly news section (with Laura trying her hand at some news!), a fantastic discussion of Sonic Lost World, and a truly meaty talk about The Starship Damrey for the book club. Good stuff all around, complete with listener mail to boot.

This Week’s Podcast Crew: Austin, Jack, and Laura

Nintendo at E3 – a look back – E3 2001

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Features, GameCube, General Nintendo, Videos | 0 comments

Nintendo won’t be holding a large-scale media briefing at this year’s E3, but press conferences have been an important part of the company’s past. And with E3 2013 right around the corner, I thought it’d be a great time to revisit some of their events – starting with E3 2001.

Nintendo’s E3 2001 conference was quite interesting. It was Nintendo’s big display of the GameCube: Smash Bros. was announced (and received a fantastic reaction!). Luigi’s Mansion and Pikmin were shown for the first time, too. We got a first look at the GameCube controllers, game disc, and even learned when the system would be launching around the world.

I’ve tried to incorporate some randomness/humor in our previous two videos. This time around, there’s no funny business. Watch it and let me know what you think! More E3 videos to come.

Sonic Lost World trailer – 15 seconds edition

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Features, Random, Wii U | 0 comments

I haven’t been publicizing this much, but yes: Nintendo Everything now has a YouTube channel. There isn’t much there at present, but it should be a whole lot more interesting once E3 2013 is done and over with.

In the meantime, I’ve started to produce some completely random and silly videos. Case and point: this Sonic Lost World – 15 seconds edition trailer. I cut away (most) of the CG, highlighted (most) of the interesting gameplay bits, and crammed it all together. If you ever wanted to give a friend a quick idea as to what Sonic Lost World is about, perhaps this would be the video to show… or maybe not.

Think this is too stupid? Let me know – you’ll never see it again! Hopefully I’ll start to get better at this video stuff as time passes.

[REVIEW] The Denpa Men 2: Beyond the Waves

Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, 3DS eShop, Features, Reviews | 0 comments

Genius Sonority’s quirky 3DS eShop RPG gets sequel-ized, but is there enough depth here to warrant a purchase?

System: Nintendo 3DS
Release Date: May 30th, 2013
Developer: Genius Sonority
Publisher: Genius Sonority

Author: Jack

When The Denpa Men: They Came By Wave was released this past year, 3DS gamers all ‘round the world were treated to not only one of the greatest advertising campaigns in videogame history, but an excellent, simple-yet-effective pure dungeon crawler that oozed accessibility and charm. This time around, developer and publisher Genius Sonority– a group comprised of fragments of Enix (of the Dragon Quest series) and Creatures Inc. (of the Earthbound series)– decided to further fill the Denpa Men mythos by expanding the first, quaint excursion into a full-blown adventure.

Nintendo Direct – a summary … kind of (5/17)

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Features, General Nintendo, Videos, Wii U | 0 comments

I’m not going to lie: this may go down as the dumbest and possibly worst-produced thing I’ve ever posted on Nintendo Everything.

But now that we’re a little over a week removed from the latest Nintendo Direct and the E3 presentation hype is in full swing, I thought it’d be fun to take a look back at the May 17th broadcast.

This originally started out as a plain summary, but that changed a bit (okay, a lot) as I continued working on the video. So it’s “kind of” a summary. Or something.

Watch it and let me know what you think. This was my first attempt at anything video-related ever. Hopefully it wasn’t too terrible!
