Make a date with the famous brothers in a new adventure – from the mysterious Pi’illo Island to the deepest recesses of Luigi’s dreams!
4th June 2013 – With great success in countless quests down the years, it’s as if the powerful pairing of Mario and Luigi can defeat enemies in their sleep. In Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros., released on 12th July for the Nintendo 3DS family of consoles, the brothers put such a theory to the test in a new adventure set on both an island near the realm of the Mushroom Kingdom, and within the depths of Luigi’s own dreams!
In this fourth instalment of the popular RPG series Mario & Luigi, the story opens with Princess Peach and her staff, plus brothers Mario and Luigi in tow, being invited for a sightseeing trip to the mysterious Pi’illo Island by its equally mysterious proprietor, Dr Snoozemore. But after an initially hospitable welcoming to the island – albeit with Dr Snoozemore noticeably absent – things take a turn for the worse when Princess Peach is kidnapped and pulled into a Dream World by a new enemy in the series, the ghostly bat king Antasma.
PES 2014 doesn’t appear to be heading to Wii U. But perhaps even more surprisingly, it’s not planned for the 3DS as well.
The 3DS received three PES releases in the past. You might be wondering then: why did Konami cease its support of the handheld?
While we don’t have an entirely definitive answer, PES European community manager Adam Bhatti said on Twitter that PES 2013 didn’t sell. He said: “No one bought it.”
Update: Added in a ton of art.
As far as we know, Konami has no games lined up for Nintendo platforms – at least in overseas territories.
PES 2014 seemed like the one sure-fire title destined for a Nintendo system, but that isn’t the case. Konami made the game official today, and even though last year’s edition launched on both the 3DS and Wii, the company’s latest soccer release doesn’t look to be coming to either platform. No Wii U version is planned, by the way.
Konami still hasn’t put out a single Wii U title, and system owners will be missing out on all soccer action – EA confirmed previously that it won’t be bringing FIFA 14 to the Wii U.
What might be even more surprising is that Konami appears to be ending PES support on the 3DS.

Nintendo came back from a somewhat lackluster E3 performance in 2003 with a pretty great showing in 2004.
Nintendo’s E3 2004 media briefing was led by the introduction of the DS. The system was shown off for the first time, and a couple of games were confirmed – Super Mario 64 DS and Metroid Prime: Hunters. Zelda: Twilight Princess also made its debut and saw one of the most-memorable video game unveils in the company’s history thanks to the crowd reaction.
Other moments from the conference include Reggie’s first appearance, Iwata’s Wii tease, and new trailers for games such as Metroid Prime 2, Star Fox Assault, and Resident Evil 4. In the end, though, Nintendo’s E3 2004 appearance will always be remembered for the Zelda and DS announcements.
