Bayonetta 2 coming in October; includes Bayonetta 1
Bayonetta 2 will be coming out this October for the Wii U, and it’s going to include the first Bayonetta! The original game will include some awesome costume changes for the leading lady, letting her dress up as Link, Samus, and probably many more. This trailer is completely crazy, and I have no idea what is going on. That isn’t really much of a surprise, considering I played the first game for like four hours and never, at any point, had any idea what was going on.
Bayonetta 2 will be out this October on the Wii U.

Yoshi’s Woolly World looks like a beautiful dream
I don’t know how many more of these adorable trailers I can take. Yoshi’s Woolly World, yet another gorgeous game Nintendo showed off at E3 2014, looks like the love child of Kirby’s Epic Yarn and Yoshi’s Island. Yoshi runs around the yarn world and eats enemies and pops out little balls of yarn and unravels things and I am about to die from how cute this is. There’s also two player mode and you can eat your co-op buddy and shoot them out and then they… re-ravel? I don’t even know anymore.
If you do not love this trailer, I don’t know if you have a soul.
Yoshi’s Woolly World will be out in the first half of 2015 for the Wii U.

Play as Bowser and troll your friends in Mario Party 10 for Wii U
Bowser wants you to know that this is now a Bowser Party in Mario Party 10. This E3 2014 trailer shows one player using the GamePad to control Bowser while the rest of the players control Mario and his friends. There are also new attractions and mini-games, so it’s not all just getting trolled by Bowser.
Mario Party 10 will be out in 2015 for the Wii U.

Check out yet another awesome Kirby world in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
Kirby’s at it again in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse. In the lovely E3 2014 trailer, everyone’s favorite Kirby moves around a world that looks like it’s claymation. The player can use the GamePad to draw rainbows, which Kirby can roll around on. And, of course, he turns into things like submarines, because he is Kirby, and that is how he rolls.
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse will be out in 2015 on the Wii U.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker E3 2014 trailer is painfully adorable
I think we can all agree that, while the same old question of “Who won E3 – Sony or Microsoft?” has still been going around, the truth is that Nintendo surprised and pleased everyone. The trailer for Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is no exception to this. The levels are colorful and whimsical, and the ability to switch to first-person view with the GamePad made me want the game right now.
Luckily, the wait won’t be that long, as the projected release date for Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on the Wii U is this holiday season.

Mario vs Donkey Kong coming to the Wii U
I’ve been holding off on buying a Wii U, mainly because my backlog of games is absolutely ludicrous. But after seeing this E3 2014 trailer for Mario vs Donkey Kong, I’m pretty sure my willpower is not going to be able to hold out. Not only does it have all of the mind-ticklingly fun puzzles you know and love, it’s also got a robust workshop, where you can make your own levels. There’s also a button that lets you “Yeah” and “UnYeah” things, which… I don’t even know what’s going on anymore.
Mario vs Donkey Kong will be out on the Wii U sometime in 2015.
Come watch CoD Advanced Warfare’s 9-minute E3 2014 gameplay walkthrough
I haven’t said this in a long time, but I’m actually pretty excited about the latest Call of Duty, which is called Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. It has some pretty amazing science fiction elements in it, but looks like it still has that smooth gameplay CoD players know and love. The E3 2014 gameplay walkthrough above shows off part of the “Induction” campaign level, which takes place in Seoul, South Korea. This game has some incredible features, like being able to rip off a car door and use it as a shield.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare will be out on November 4 for PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
Nintendo Download: Pac-Man Collection, Double Dragon II: The Revenge, Soccer, more
Today’s Nintendo Download selections make it a good day to be a fan of retro games.
The Wii U eShop is now home to Pac-Land, Pac-Man Collection, and Soccer. I would assume the first two are in honor of Pac-Man’s addition to Super Smash Bros. 4 and Soccer is due to today’s kickoff of the World Cup. But the addition of Double Dragon II: The Revenge to the 3DS eShop is no doubt because it’s just awesome.
Also available on the 3DS eShop today is AiRace Xeno, a futuristic racer, and Van Helsing: Sniper Zx100, a game with the most self-explanatory title I’ve ever seen.
More information about all of these games can be found after the break. (more…)
