what's up internet kevin here with tod bringing you guys a little wrap-up of what we saw this year from nintendo at e3 and what it means for them in the coming year and how they will compete with other next-gen consoles first off i just want to get the biggest one out of the way we do have a new super smash brothers finally coming out not one but two both for the Wii U and the 3ds now while a specific release date has not been given we do know that it will be sometime next summer so we all have about a year to wait and we're have three new characters announced including Wii Fit trainer villager and my personal favourite mega man I think it's safe to say that this title alone is going to be doing a lot to really help out in terms of wii u sales as there are a number of hardcore fans who have literally bought the past couple of consoles just for this game i'm also very curious to see how it ports over to the 3ds and if that will affect how many people choose to get the wii u version now while of course smash brothers is one of the biggest titles for people look forward to we are finally seeing the release soon of a lot of games we were promised way back at launch including Pikmin 3 Bayonetta 2 and the wonderful 101 we also got a slew of new announcements and information regarding a lot of games that were either announced at a nintendo direct or our brand new titles including the luigi dlc for new super mario brothers a new mario kart a new donkey kong super mario 3d for the wii u the HD remake of Legend of Zelda Wind Waker sonic lost world a new Yoshi game and something new coming from the team behind Xenoblade and that's just the game so that we you a Nintendo had a lot of these games actually on display on their show floor for play and I got a chance to look at a bunch of them as well as play a couple including new super Luigi brothers and Donkey Kong tropical freeze I was actually surprised by how different the Luigi brothers DLC is from the regular New Super Mario Brothers game even though it features the same basic map and design this is mostly to the fact that while the map is the same individual levels have been completely reconstructed to actually be really challenging compared to most recent Mario games not just because of the fact that Luigi's controls are much more slippery than Mario's one of the funniest things about the game to me is the fact that while it does still have a cooperative mode it's actually not cooperative as players are directly in the role of character that's meant to screw over Luigi you make life harder for him by not being able to be killed by enemies and stealing power-ups and getting no benefit from them other than taking them slow eg can't now dr. Han country freeze the other hand at least from what little I was able to play felt a lot like Donkey Kong Country Returns which isn't necessarily a bad thing is a great game it's just that I didn't feel too much different yet we haven't seen a lot of what the way you can do to change the gameplay mechanics just yet it also suffers from the same problem that bothers me a little bit about Super Mario Brothers in which single-player mode you can use a gamepad but if you want to do multiplayer each person has to use a Wii Remote there's no option for both we also got a few trailers and a little more information on a couple of 3ds titles coming out including the new pokemon X&Y which will now feature a new fairy type Pokemon the new Legend of Zelda link between worlds which serves as a prettier sequel to the classic SNES game link to the past as well as a number of 3ds ports of wii u titles we mentioned earlier including the new Sonic and Yoshi games now if there's anything to take away from the showing it's the fact that Nintendo is sticking with their tried and true formula but going much more all-out than usual this year touching on a large number of their biggest hit titles and also doing their best to try and revitalize each of them just a little bit so they don't just feel like unoriginal rehashes that are still fun but just not anything new this is actually really reminiscent to me in terms of how the 3ds launched in which we were promised a lot of titles at launch that really didn't come out or got pushed back again and again leading to a lot of struggles and sales early on but once we start seeing these titles coming out back-to-back we start seeing the console sell a lot more and bring a lot of fans back to it now this may not be enough to bring back a lot of people that switched over to ps3 or 360 in the last generation but certainly enough to bring back hardcore fan boys that have the wii and just haven't seen anything in the way you would it interest them yet and who knows with all the recent backlash the Xbox one has been getting from a lot of its fanbase the wii u looks like it might have a bigger chance with those looking to invest in multiple consoles and don't want the xbox one to be one of them giving nintendo a chance to revitalize a lot of its old IPs and breathe new life into the system well those are just my thoughts and reactions to what Nintendo showed us this year at e3 if you have yet to do so make sure check out my other videos which talk about the ps4 and Xbox one and if you get to do so please make sure to subscribe so you can check out all the other coverage we're giving you as well as our reviews and unboxings if you enjoyed this vid make sure to hit that like button is this is one of the easiest ways to help us out as always a really appreciate you guys watching our vids I'm comfort ility and I'll see you next time
