If Australia’s Office of Film and Literature Classification is anything to go by, we’ll be seeing Nintendo’s classic puzzle game hitting the eShop shortly.

Ubisoft’s ZombiU might have wowed audiences with an interesting trailer, but I’m sure plenty of people were confused about the game’s bizarre-sounding title. There’s more to this Wii U launch title’s name than a terrible pun, which should be apparent if we take a look at the first game Ubisoft ever published:


This is my obligatory “Here’s what’s going on at E3 just so you know” post.

So, just one day into the pre-E3 shows and we’ve already seen the effects of last year’s presentation by Nintendo. I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but it seems like as time goes on, more and more people are waiting for Nintendo’s “OK” before they start trying out new things, as though they’re using the big N as a guinea pig for them to invest in new ideas. This year it was probably the most prevalent, save for perhaps the year we saw Move and Kinect revealed.

I know you wanted to say it when you saw the image.

I know you took a look at those rounded grips and those smooth analog sticks and the first thing that came to mind was “Great, Nintendo’s copying Microsoft”

But don’t. Don’t go there. Don’t you judge Nintendo for this. I know you want to, but don’t.

A good portion of Nintendo’s E3 2012 media briefing will focus on the Wii U. Yes, we know that. We also know that there is a software showcase event on Wednesday which will feature 3DS software.

However, although some folks were ruling out the 3DS completely for the conference, it does seem as though the handheld will be there, even if it’s just for a bit.

Nintendo has apparently hired a company to take b-roll footage of tomorrow’s games, including first and third-party titles for the Wii U and 3DS. It’d probably make sense to highlight New Super Mario Bros. 2, even if it is just for a minute.

In any case, look forward to some 3DS news. It might not be much, but there will be something! More 3DS goodness will come our way during the software showcase.

Here’s a little sales trivia for you. Rabbids Travel in Time 3D, one of the latest games in the franchise, has sold 250,000 units life-to-date.

Ubisoft didn’t say if these sales are specific to the U.S. or worldwide, but we do know that the game was a relative success for the company. I’m sure that’s one of the big reasons why we’re seeing Rabbids Rumble on the 3DS this year.

Ubisoft showed even more footage of Assassin’s Creed III during Sony’s E3 2012 conference. The footage provides a first look at some of the game’s sea action.
