Note (5/25): Friend code listing has received an update in the forum here. You can find a rough overview of known Game Night participants.

Assuming I make it through the week, there will be a Game Night on Friday. As usual, it’s set for 7:30 PM EDT / 4:30 PM PDT.
We’ll be playing Mario Kart 7 in the first half of the event. Kid Icarus: Uprising rounds will take place in the second half. Setting it up this way might make things less chaotic.
If you plan on joining us, I’d greatly appreciate it if you could post your 3DS friend code here. It’ll make things much easier if people have codes exchanged before Game Night starts. You’ll have to register for our forum, but it literally takes just a minute to sign up.
EA will be unveiling Need for Speed: Most Wanted during E3 if a new schedule from TwitchTV is to be believed. The site has published a day-by-day schedule of its streaming events, which shows that Most Wanted will receive a gameplay session on June 5. Of course, EA would officially announce the title one day prior during its media briefing.
A Need for Speed: Most Wanted game was released a number of years ago. Either the new game is a sequel, or it’ll be a remake. I personally believe a follow-up is more likely.
The same TwitchTV schedule also lists TBA titles from Ubisoft (including Wii U games), Capcom, and more.
You can find the entire listing after the break.
A new pamphlet circulating around in Japan indicates that Atlus is readying a demo for Etrian Odyssey IV. It unfortunately doesn’t contain any details about the trial, nor does it say when it’ll be released. However, the pamphlet mentions that any progress made in the demo will carry over to the final retail game.
Etrian Odyssey IV launches in Japan on July 5, so the demo will probably be out before then.
Although this is footage from the Xbox 360 version, it seems that the content is the same across all consoles. The Wii title features the same kind of gameplay – the visuals are just a bit different.
Nintendo of America overlord Reggie Fils-Aime introduces you to the company’s Facebook page, which you can find here. It’ll feature the latest updates about the console leading up to its launch later this year.
Can’t you just smell the E3-ness in the air?!

So, right now it’s unclear as to what this new Star Wars franchise means. We don’t know what it’s about nor do we know which platforms it’ll be coming to. Obviously the details are being kept vague for a reason.
In any case, we’ll learn the franchise next Thursday during the next episode of GT.TV. Actual footage will be shown during Spike’s “E3 All Access Live” show on June 4.
