Were you to ask me what I’d be excited for the most coming into Nintendo’s first E3 with the Wii U on the-stocking-shelves a few days ago, I’d probably have a fully mindful answer for each finger-on-the-hand. Given the somewhat sparse industry-wide response to Nintendo’s follow-up to the successful Wii, and with two competitor consoles set to drop in five months, I was fully expecting Nintendo to arrive at the Los Angeles Convention Center guns a-blazing, ready to duke it out with Sony and Microsoft the way they do best: releasing can’t miss first-party Nintendo gaming experiences that no other platform really has an equal for.


I took this picture. It was glorious.



The second of our E3 2013 podcast specials is slightly more focused… but still a little odd. We give our impressions of Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies, Killer is Dead, Bayonetta 2, and Batman: Arkham Origins (which we liked), as well as some thoughts on Mario 3D World, LEGO: Friends, and Deus Ex: Human Revolution , (which we were more tepid towards). Your listener mail rounds out this one.

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

I included the Virtual Photo Booth shots of Reggie, Miyamoto, and Iwata just because they’re different.

Amazon has lowered the price of LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes down to $29.99. You’ll be saving around $20 by picking the game up now.

Two Brothers will be launching late this summer on PC, Mac, and Linux!

And in 2014 Two Brothers will hit the Wii U EShop with upgraded features and Wii U Gamepad support!

Two Brothers Fact Sheet:

Shantae will not be available on the 3DS Virtual Console this month as originally planned, according to WayForward’s Matt Bozon.

Bozon just tweeted that the game has been pushed back to July. No word on the game’s new release date at this time.


WayForward previously announced that Shantae would be hitting the 3DS eShop on June 20.

Jeanne is back in Bayonetta 2. Will she be playable? Producer Yusuke Hashimoto won’t say.

“As you can see in the demo, she will appear at some points, but where the story goes from there, that is something we’ll talk about later.”

As far as Bayonetta’s new hair style goes, Hashimoto commented:

“We think of it less as cutting her hair. Her personality is the type that would not want to remain stagnant. She would want to change her style, taste in fashion, and her costumes. Down the line in the series, she may make further changes to her appearance.”

Hashimoto closed out with remarks on the Umbra Climax:

“Those monsters Bayonetta summons will vary depending on your weapon combinations. That’s another element and won’t see all of them even if you play the demo.”
