Yoshi’s Woolly World looks like a beautiful dream

Posted on June 13, 2014 by Nicole Kline

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

Posted on June 13, 2014 by Nicole Kline

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

Posted on June 13, 2014 by Nicole Kline

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

Posted on June 13, 2014 by Nicole Kline

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

Posted on June 13, 2014 by Nicole Kline

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.

Still no new Deep Down news… but here’s an E3 2014 trailer

Posted on June 13, 2014 by Nicole Kline

There was a new trailer for Deep Down at E3 2014 at both the Sony and Capcom booths, but there’s no new information to be had just yet. Game Producer Yoshinori Ono said, “What we’ve released on deep down so far is quite mysterious in nature, and I’m sure fans are eager to hear more concrete info” on the PlayStation Blog. But after that, he gave a “heartfelt apology” about making fans wait longer.

Deep Down will be coming to the PlayStation 4 at some point.
