E3 2013: Super Smash Bros 3DS and Wii U

Just like they said, a new Super Smash Bros. game has been revealed for both the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.

At first glance it looks pretty much the same as Super Smash Bros. Brawl, graphics wise, if not cleaner. I expected the 3DS graphics to look a little better but if the gameplay is equally awesome then I won't be complaining.

Enough about the formalities. Aside from the announcement of a new Super Smash Bros. itself, the next most important detail about this announcement are the new characters. The Villager from Animal Crossing is now a playable character. So that's cool.

Psyche! A new guest character has been revealed for the new Super Smash Bros. and that character is the blue super fighting robot, Mega Man! Seriously, I shouted out loud here in my apartment that I think even the neighbors freaked out a little. My favorite video game character in the new installment of my favorite video game series. I'm just so happy right now.

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U is set to come out in 2014 which is perfect since all my money will probably go to new video games or possibly a PS4 this holiday season. Maybe even both.

New Super Smash Bros. Trailer Confirmed for E3 2013

Masahiro Sakurai tweeted that a trailer for a new Super Smash Bros. will be shown during Nintendo's E3 Nintendo Direct. During which Nintendo also sent confirmation to Official Nintendo Magazine that there will be two versions of the game, one for the Wii U and one for the 3DS.

This is big news, especially for me, since Super Smash Bros. Melee was the reason that I chose a GameCube over a PS2 back in the day and Super Smash Bros. Brawl being the main reason why I got a Wii. I spent over 800 hours in Melee and enjoyed Brawl quite a bit. I've been looking for a solid reason to even consider getting either a 3DS or a Wii U. So far, the games I want for those both platforms are Project x Zone for the 3DS and Bayonetta 2 for the Wii U. This new Super Smash Bros. might just seal the deal.

Update: You can find the trailer for the new Super Smash Bros. for both 3DS and Wii U here.

Sonic Lost Worlds Debut Trailer

Sega has got a new Sonic game lined up but this time it's exclusive to Nintendo. Namely the Wii U and 3DS.

You see a group of what looks like late 90s Saturday morning cartoon monsters terrorizing some Loony Toons looking chickens when Sonic appears out of the sky to save them. From the gameplay, Sonic Lost Worlds looks like it follow the formula of 2D segments mixed with 3D segments much like in Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations. That and the stage shown in the game looks to be inspired by the unreleased Sonic Xtreme with it's broken up, blocky and tube like tracks. Hey, they might include a fish-eye lens view in the options menu. And since this is going to be a Nintendo exclusive, we might see Mario as a playable character?

Scribblenauts Unmasked

Max teams up with the DC Universe's most famous heroes to save the world in Scribblenauts Unmasked.

Totally was not expecting this. And with me currently having an Injustice fever and having just finished watching Young Justice, my DC nerdgasm is at an all time high. Scribblenauts Unmasked is coming to the Wii U, 3DS and apparently the PC.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist 'Stalk, Strike, Silence' Trailer

Out of the shadows, Ubisoft shows new footage for Splinter Cell: Blacklist. The trailer shows the three things Sam Fisher does best. have a look at the trailer below. 

Fans of the series, get ready to be dissapointed - Blacklist will be the first Splinter Cell game to have a different voice actor for Sam Fisher. That's right, no more Michael Ironside rocking the goggles. Why the sudden change? Well, they needed someone more physical for the motion captured planned for the game, and since Ironside is not well over 60, he won't be able to provide the physical aspect of the iconic Sam Fisher. So now we have Eric Johnson to do the motion capture and voice.

Changing the voice of Sam Fisher is pretty ridiculous. It would have been better off if they just didn't use Sam Fisher anymore. It's like removing David Hayter from Solid Snake..oh wait, that already happened. But the point is - Michael Ironside is Same Fisher, nothing more.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist comes out on August 20 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PC.
