E3 is a Barrel of Fun for Reggie, Iwata, and Miyamoto
E3 is just one big giant field trip for Nintendo’s Satoru Iwata, Reggie Fils-Aime and—lurking in the background—Shigeru Miyamoto. This image went up on Nintendo’s Facebook page earlier today.

The Division‘s Most Interesting Idea Is Happening On An iPad
The neatest thing about Ubisoft’s just-revealed The Division wasn’t the graphics (they’re fine) or the guns (they shoot stuff) or even the intelligent grenades (they roll around and blow up).

“The Definitive Mario Kart” Runs At 60 Frames-Per-Second
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.
