Austin, Laura, and Jack created this incredibly random yet amazing video for E3 2013. The gang asked a bunch of people to say lines from George Michael’s “Careless Whisper” song and put the whole thing together. You’ll see appearances from folks like Charles Martinet (the voice of Mario!), Jessica Nigri, and other random people!

Namco Bandai is working on a follow-up to Run for Money Tousouchuu, a 3DS game that came out last year in Japan and went on to sell 500,000 copies. It’s based on the show’s sequel known as “Battle for Money Sentouchuu”.

You can find a few screenshots and details below. We’ve included some information about the show as well since that may give you a better idea about the game.

– The Run For Money Tousouchuu show features many Japanese celebrities in a simple game of hide-and-seek, except with a twist of elite CIA agent-looking elite “Hunters” who chase the runners
– The main goal is to be the last one standing to win a great prize pool of money
– The successor to the show is Battle for Money Sentouchuu
– This has the celebrities going after each other instead, in a vicious game of free-for-all dodgeball
– Each player starts out with a sum of money and a ball
– When a player gets hit by a ball from an opponent, he/she is eliminated and must give them their remaining money
– Use the money to buy more balls, shields, dodgeball launchers and hire battle android ninjas
– Win all of the remaining money by being the last person standing
– 3DS game is called Sentouchuu: Survival Battle with the Legendary Ninjas
– Plays just like the game show
– Need to be the last one standing out of all the players in an intense game of dodgeball played on a huge map
– Can hire the bodyguard ninjas who’ll be dedicating their lives to protect you from the deadly dodgeballs, and taking out any enemy under your command

Super Mario 3D World is the first 3D Mario game to offer four-player multiplayer. Gamers will be able to play as one of four characters, each with their own unique traits: Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad.

Unfortunately, Super Mario 3D World’s multiplayer will be limited to local play only. Nintendo has confirmed that you won’t be able to go online and continue the experience with others.

Director Koichi Hayashida and producer Yoshiaki Koizumi commented on the decision to not include online while speaking with TIME. Their main response was that Nintendo is focusing on seeing the other players around you. You can find Hayashida and Koizumi’s complete comments below.

A number of 3DS games can be purchased for just $30 on Amazon. Quite a few of these titles have been available for this price previously, but there are some new additions as well.

Here’s the lineup:

Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan ($29.96)
Fire Emblem: Awakening ($29.98)
Kid Icarus: Uprising ($31.59)
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D ($29.98)
Mario Kart 7 ($29.98)
New Super Mario Bros. 2 ($29.98)

Style Savvy: Trendsetters ($16.96)
Super Mario 3D Land ($29.99)

Through its various videos earlier this week, Nintendo confirmed 12-player online multiplayer for Mario Kart 8. The racer will, however, allow gamers to play locally with others.

Nintendo did confirm to us that up to four users can play Mario Kart 8 locally, but wouldn’t comment beyond this. Austin had asked a Nintendo representative about having a fifth person playing with a GamePad at E3 2013, but wasn’t given a comment.

Also worth mentioning, the E3 demo did not contain any new items. The representative seemed to think that the full game will feature new inclusions, though.

On Kickstarter, the developer behind A Hat in Time provided an update on the status of a possible Wii U version.

Gears for Breakfast reconfirmed that it has been in contact with a number of companies that could bring A Hat in Time to the Wii U eShop. Nintendo of America has also shown interest in the project thanks to the “massive support” from fans.

A number of hurdles must be overcome in order to make a Wii U version happen. First, Gears for Breakfast needs an Unreal Engine licence, which apparently can go for $500,000 or more. Wii U dev kits will also be needed. By working with a publisher, the team may be able to receive access to their dev kits and licences for a share of the game’s revenue.
