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. Finally brandished with a spiffy new name (and a recently published preview article to boot), I was very excited to end my E3 experience with a grand finale on top of what was already a solid showing from the Big N.

Our beloved Phoenix Wright is back in whopping 3D, along with Apollo Justice and a new sidekick named Athena Cykes, out to find justice for the wrongly accused. I am very excited to talk about “Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies”, mostly because it was the most fun I had playing a game at E3.

“It’s just probably not going to be a great game. Not if the demo is any indication anyhow.”

It has been an exceptionally long time since a Mario title generated as much debate as has been seen following the announcement of Super Mario 3D World at E3 this past week. Truly, the skeptics are out in droves this time around and the Nintendo die-hards are ready and waiting to defend their beloved company to the bitter end, creating an atmosphere of discontent about the game that no one can seem to shake with ease.

Beyond all of that noise, however, there remains one question: If you can ignore the expectations– the past heights the series has seen– how does this game stack up?

Unfortunately, at its best, the answer to that question is a lackluster “fine”.
