With the final day of E3 2013 coming to a close and still with a litany of tasks yet to accomplish, I had almost forgotten to swing by the 3DS section in the middle of the massive Nintendo booth to check out one of the biggest releases Nintendo had to offer this year: the much-anticipated direct sequel to one of the most important games in the history of the company, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

Nintendo’s new Smash Bros. games for Wii U and 3DS will not be capable of cross-play functionality. However, Masahiro Sakurai confirmed to Joystiq that players will be able to take customized characters and transfer them to the Wii U version.
