Nintendo Everything

Note: we’ll keep this at the top of the page throughout the day. Normal updates are posted below.

The stream will begin at 12:15 AM ET / 9:15 AM PT.

This information comes from Michael Gallagher, president of the Entertainment Software Association…

“E3 is a world class show that deserves a world class venue. The Los Angeles Convention Center is no longer a top-tier property. The time to make this decision is relatively short. We’ll consider all cities that can improve the experience.”

This week’s GameStop ad has gone live. You can find it in full below.

Bowser’s Fire Bar Fury

– Set in a square arena in a deadly lava pit
– Use the GamePad gyroscopic abilities to tilt the controller to move two fire bars
– One goes up and down, the other left and right
– Defending characters need to run and jump to avoid the fire bars as the clock counts down

Bowser’s Bad Breath

– Hold the GamePad and tilt left/right to aim a giant Bowser at the other players
– Do so while also pressing A to shoot fireballs
– Defending players can only run around the square arena to avoid the deadly projectiles
– Bowser moves slowly during the game to give them a fighting chance

Bowser’s Painball Pit

– Set in a pinball machine controlled by Browser
– The space is empty except for a large, heavy disc that can either impede the spiked balls Bowser flicks through the machine or trap the other characters
– If a spike ball falls through the bottom of the machine, a new one quickly replaces it to keep two present at all times

Bowser’s Wicked Wheel

– Set in a hamster wheel
– 2 electrified rods on either side
– Shake the Wiimote quickly as it spins to run away from the elctric rod
– The Bowser player swipes on the screen to make the wheel spin as fast as they’d like
– Swipe backwards to stop the wheel
– This causes players to run into the electric rod in front if they don’t stop fast enough
