Nintendo has opened the North American website for New Super Luigi U. Well, perhaps “page” would be a more appropriate term. In any case, you can access it here.


Everybody likes lists, so we’ve got three of them for you!


Authors: Austin, Jack, and Laura

E3 2013 has finally come to a close, and just like the best of websites we decide to give you each of our five games of show. The lists are, by and large, pretty subjective, but the descriptive paragraphs should give you a good idea of whether or not you’d enjoy the game as much as we did.

Hit the break for Laura’s list!


We’ve put up a lot of E3 coverage for you… have you missed any of it?


On the off-chance that you missed any of the podcasts, in-depth impressions, or videos we put up of our experience at E3 2013, I’ve decided to compile a hub-article for you to view everything in one place. It’s pretty straightforward, so check it out and read anything you think might be interesting! We have more coverage coming in the next day or two as well, so stay tuned and watch for updates.

Podcasts



Here’s a Podcast – E3 2013, Day One Spectacular

The gang craps all over Super Mario 3D World, loves Pikmin 3, praises Platinum Games, and gets into the most intense laughing fit the world has ever known. We’d like to apologize in advance for the length, the content, and the potentially loud snores from Laura as she fell asleep halfway through.


Here’s a Podcast – E3 2013, Day Two Spectacular

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.


Here’s a Podcast – E3 2013, Day Three Spectacular

This final E3 2013 episode has impressions of Killer is Dead, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, some final thoughts on Super Mario 3D World, and much more. As always we get your listener mail and go over some categorized favorites at the end of the show, like our favorite booth attendants!



Hands-On Impressions



The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

A direct sequel proves to be the freshest handheld Zelda game in years.


Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies

The Ace Attorney makes his return to court.


Super Mario 3D World

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


Sonic: Lost World

“I see it as a spiritual sequel, a continuation, refinement, and extrapolation of what was established in Sonic Colors.”


Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games

The blue blur and his plump plumbing rival return to The Olympics, but it’s not as exciting as Nintendo and SEGA might want you to believe.


Pikmin 3

The latest entry in the Pikmin series has been in the works for nearly 9 years, and it shows.

The on-site staff from E3 give their five best games from the show floor.

Satoru Iwata isn’t worrying about the competition, even with new next-gen consoles from Sony and Microsoft on the way. He put it succinctly to CNN in a new interview: “We just don’t care too much about what other companies are doing or are trying to do.”

Iwata said that Nintendo is busy thinking about creating new ideas that can’t be recreated on other hardware. Nintendo also wants to put emphasis on experiences that can only be experienced on Nintendo platforms.

“We just don’t care too much about what other companies are doing or are trying to do. Our primary focus is to think about and actually carry out something which other company’s hardware can never realize. We are trying to provide consumers gaming experiences that can only be available on Nintendo platforms. Software sells hardware. The number of hardware selling and the number of people who can experience the unique attractions of the Wii U are going to increase, and thereby the knowledge and the understanding about the Wii U system shall naturally expand.”

Nintendo and the Wii U will certainly have a heck of a lot of competition this holiday. Sony will launch the PlayStation 4 while Microsoft will put out the Xbox One.
