The Lost World: Jurassic Sonic


This is a survey that requires no signing up, accounts, clicking through ads, or anything. Just answer a required question, answer a non-required question (if you want) and make your voice heard in yet another NintendoEverything reader survey poll thing! Results will be read in the form of our top ten list on the next podcast, and if you opted to answer the written question your answer could be read on the show! So don’t say anything ridiculous.

Thanks very much. As stated above the topic for you guys this week is “Let’s talk about Sonic: Lost World.”

Take the survey here! (more details inside if you’re confused)



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.



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.


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!



LEGO Batman makes its Wii U debut just under a year after releasing on PS3 and Xbox 360. Is the added functionality worthwhile?


Author: Laura

Alright, so I know what you guys are thinking, “Why on earth would Warner Bros. Interactive and Traveller’s Tales release a year-old game on the Wii U when I can just buy it for less money on a different console?” Well I’m here to tell you that LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes on Wii U stands strong on its own with the integration of Wii U Gamepad controls. Not only is it a sequel, it’s a unique game on its own, allowing players to enjoy exploring the Batman Universe for a second time.



Dunno. I just needed something to be the picture.



The beginning of this episode (about the first 25 minutes) sound really weird because Austin doesn’t know what he’s doing and messed up the mic. It’s still listenable, but the phonetic focus is on Laura and Austin and Jack sound like they’re far away. If you really can’t stand it, skip to 25 minutes in! This episode features a discussion on what Retro Studios is working on, some Zelda timeline discussion, and a long talk about graphics and their impact on games. Enjoy!

We were gonna do Goldeneye 007 on Wii this week, but the glitches in that game required split-screen unless I can set it up with someone online… so I’m gonna wait to do that! The back-up? Mario Kart 64! Some fairly interesting ones going on this week. Enjoy!

Oh, also, to those of you here on NE that did a bunch of work getting the glitches last week to work in your copies of Mario Sunshine: That was so awesome! I didn’t reply to anything because I’m a dummy, but I read them and I thought it was super cool how many of you actually figured things out and did stuff I couldn’t do.

I’ve created the discussion thread for The Starship Damrey, which you can find right here if you desire to contribute your thoughts on the game to the discussion. I’ve added my initial impressions, and I’d be curious if anyone agrees/disagrees with me!
