A third wave of Pokemon Rumble U figures will soon be making its way to Japan. On June 21, players will be able to pick up Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Darkrai, and Shaymin. Also, we’re hearing that the secret figure is Red Genesect.
This year’s E3 was jam-packed with games. Games for next-gen consoles. Games for a variety of different genres. Indie games.
But for Shigeru Miyamoto, what he saw at the show didn’t seem to overly impress.
When asked about his E3 impressions and titles coming from Sony and Microsoft, Miyamoto said “there does not seem to be any games that I would like to have created myself.”
He stated:
“Of course, I would like to know what they do with their machines, but there is no game that I feel the need to go see. So far, from what I’ve seen on the show this year, there does not seem to be any games that I would like to have created myself.”
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.

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.
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.
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.
“It’s just probably not going to be a great game. Not if the demo is any indication anyhow.”
“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.
The latest entry in the Pikmin series has been in the works for nearly 9 years, and it shows.
