I’ve poked fun at Nintendo about their “It’s all about the games” mantra from this year’s E3, but it rings true, especially when you’ve got what producer Hideki Konno is calling “the definitive Mario Kart” on your hands.

The villager character from Animal Crossing got introduced yesterday as a playable character in the new Smash Bros. Let’s be honest: his face is rather psychotic and insane for a brawler game.

Don’t Forget About Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
It’s the year of Luigi, but apparently Nintendo doesn’t want him headlining a major trade show, so instead we get a charming little video about the game that takes place partially in his mind. It’s the Herman’s Head of video games. Yeah, I just pulled that out.
