The man said it himself! But don’t worry, he has a plan to come back, take names and kick ass. See, before he went up to present the prizes for the Smash Bros Invitational, Fils-Aime had confessed at the end of an interview with Kotaku that his skills were limited. “I want Kotaku people to…
Nintendo’s E3 announcements aren’t over yet: they’ve got a Smash Bros. Q&A/discussion planned for tonight at 7pm Pacific, and a 90-minute Q&A/discussion for “an unannounced 3DS game” planned for tomorrow night at 6pm Pacific. We’ll be at both, covering the news as it happens. Here’s hoping for a new 3DS Metroid or Zelda.
Making levels in Mario Maker is easy. Like, really easy. In a good way. Actually beating them? Not so much. Nintendo took the lid off this exciting Wii U game that lets players build their own Super Mario levels this morning during its E3 press event, and Kotaku was able to go hands on with…
We snuck into the VIP section of Nintendo’s booth here at E3 2014 and played some :Super Smash Bros. I can confirm that Mega Man is hella fun, and that I probably shouldn’t shit-talk if I’m not going to win a game. Watch us play in the video above. Smash is out in October for 3DS…

Straight outta E3, here’s some 45 minutes of the folks at Nintendo’s Treehouse playing through Xenoblade Chronicles X, the upcoming JRPG by the studio Monolith Soft. Looks a whole lot like Xenoblade, don’t you think? There’s clearly some Xenogears/Xenosaga influence in here too. The game will be out for Wii U next year, Nintendo says.…
The man responsible for Mario came to E3 with a fistful of new game prototypes to show. One’s a new entry in the fan-favorite Star Fox franchise. The others? They’re kind of goofy but clever, just as you’d expect from Miyamoto-san. In the video—which is more than a half-hour long—Mr. Miyamoto talks as members of…
Remember this guy? Of course you do. How could you forget a glare so withering? Luigi’s death stare has made some pretty big waves across the internet ever since Mario Kart 8 launched late last month. But this morning, Mario’s brother returned home—chilling visage and all—in a guest appearance during Nintendo’s E3 address: Watch out,…
Nintendo surprised fans by promoting one of Mario’s sidekicks to a starring role this morning. Let’s take a look at the Mushroom Kingdom’s newest hero, shall we?

It’s been a long time coming, but Nintendo finally took the lid off its wonderful new box of toys this morning during its E3 address.

We’d heard that the new Pokémon remakes would include megas for Mudkip and Treeko. But now we can see what they’re like in the actual game. Neat, eh?

As Nintendo announced a couple of weeks ago, you’ll be able to play the Wii U Smash Bros. game with GameCube controllers using a new adapter peripheral they’ve created for their newest console.

Could the most interesting game from the creator of Super Mario Bros. and Zelda that we’ve seen in years be a quasi-multiplayer game about security cameras? Could be. I played it and had a great, great time. The game is called Project: Guard, and it’s keeping a relatively low profile at this years’ E3. Nintendo…
