UM writes: Ive made no bones about being a long-time and stalwart Nintendo fan. As such, I own and play my 3DS on the regular. I believe its truly one of the best handheld systems to ever exist, and its not even about the 3D function. Im a super fan of the effect, but if it gives you a headache? Turn it off. The game selection alone is worth the price of admission. Not only does it have a solid library of first- and third-party titles, but the eShop contains a whole world of fantastic games to choose from, from downloadable versions of said first-party Nintendo titles to a myriad of smaller indie titles. Download Cave Story immediately, if you havent already. Also, the Gameboy Color classics Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages are both available for $4.99 each for a limited time. Just so you know.

Just because it's E3 week doesn't mean that Nintendo is going to rest on its laurels. Indeed, The Big N has pulled off a blinder this week for European 3DS owners. Oh, and it's tapped up its BFF Sega for some Virtual Console goodness. See: I told you this week's eShop selection would be a country mile better than last week's, didn't I. Just call me Mystic Mike. Or Magic Mike. Hang on - ma...

Animal magnetism. High-speeds, inspired items, breakneck hair-pin turnshellip; Mario Kart's always led with these genre-defining aspects, so I wasn't worried about Nintendo's ability to deliver that kind of experience on Wii U. In fact, Mario Kart 8 makes executing the formula look easy. Even with my brief hands-on time, it was obvious that changing nothing would still make for a fun and frantic kart-racer. Thankfully Nintendo hasn't rested on that, retaining 's glider and underwater sections, but adding magnetic wheels that give Mario, Luigi, Toad, Bowser, and Yoshi the ability to cling to wild tracks that twist and contort, rotating the field a full 360 degrees. Remember Luigi's Circuit on Nintendo 64? The simple track gets flipped and turned to let players put skid-marks on both sides of the asphalt, lengthening a single lap, all in the same space. First impressions? Nintendo could have relied on a simple HD update. MK8's sharp, colorful textures fly by at a blistering pace, while karts and motorbikes flip over jumps and screech around turns with new found fidelity. It's like being in first place and still getting a lightning strike out of the iconic Question Mark boxes, but Nintendo knows you don't hold the lead without dragging a banana or shell to cover your ass. That's where magnetic wheels come in. When you're playing the game, you might not notice the flipping track thanks to the lazer-like focus it takes to dominate other racers, but a waterfall flowing in reverse or the glowing blue tires that flip out to keep you stuck on the road will catch your eye. That first Luigi's Circuit-like track provided banking turns that never stopped banking, progressively flipping until I was racing completely upside down. The show floor demo had three different tracks, ranging from straight-forward and simple to complex and winding. The first circuit in particular flew by without a noticeably upside-down moment, but a Delfino Square-esque track gave players a big wall to hover on, as well as a few glider moments. I took a few left turns and stumbled over alternate paths and hidden short cuts. Mario Kart's tracks have always focused on inventive and varied design, but the only track to really take advantage of that heritage came in the form of Boo's Mansion, where an underwater sequence split into two separate tracks that flung players back into the courtyard from two different angels. Some players launch towards the finish line upside down, while others blast through with four wheels on the ground. Longtime Mario Kart fans probably won't find much to complain about here, as Nintendo made sure not to break the experience despite the changes on-hand. Wiggling the stick back and forth gives you blue sparks, then red, and then a huge speed boost. I tried snaking (the game-breaking tactic from Mario Kart DS that involves side-winding across the full width of the track to maintain a constant state of boost), but the hop you'll use to start a slide doesn't allow for a wide leap or the corrective turn back towards the center of the track. That means Mario Kart 7's level-headed approach to balanced gameplay continues in MK8, expanding online play with a full 12-man competition. My time with Mario Kart 8 was limited but it felt instantly familiar, maintaining approachable and deep mechanics with frantic fun, a catchy soundtrack, and hopefully a big mix of new and classic tracks. Don't you think a few of your favorite circuits could benefit from a gorgeous HD update on Wii U?

In an E3-themed broadcast this week, Nintendo finally lifted the veil on its all-star fighting game mash-up Super Smash Bros for 3DS. And we got to see the new characters. Alongside familiar fighters like Mario and Link comes a cute Animal Crossing villager, Capcom mascot Mega Man, and - most bizarre of all - the fitness freak trainer from the Wii Fit games. But we want more. We've already p...

DHGF: The newest playable character for Injustice: Gods Among Us is released today and its Scorpion. Much like how when Freddy Kruger was released for Mortal Kombat 9, gamers are deeply divided about having a Mortal Kombat character in what was, up until now, an all DC Universe oriented game. Personally, Im fine with it as it wouldnt be a Netherrealms game without Scorpion in it in some way. Even Mortal Kombat 3 learned that. Would I rather have a DC character like Booster Gold, Animal Man, Swamp Thing or the like in here? Sure I would, but I also love the character of Scorpion and its not like he hasnt interacted with DC characters before via MK8. What matters is how Scorpion plays. For Season Pass holder like myself, weve had access to the character for a week or so now and I think Scorpion holds up decently. Ive yet to lose in an online match with him, but thats probably because so few people have access to him. Here now are my first impressions with the character.

It turns out that Nintendo had one more surprise up its sleeve for Super Smash Bros. Following the announcement that Mega Man and an Animal Crossing villager would join the star-studded cast of combatants, Nintendo revealed that the Wii Fit Trainer Girl would also be available as a playable character. No, seriously. We thought the announcement was a bit of a yank on our collective chain a...
