E3 is in 25 days and with the next Nintendo Direct expected to be a rather big one (and coming out just before the big week begins), it was nice to still get some fresh information today. Watch below and enjoy!

“Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games” looks fun and is it just me or by that video alone and seeing Mario from a 3rd person perspective on Wii U just make me THAT much more excited for an all out new action adventure game of his!? Also, it’s great hearing that Nintendo and Sega have partnered up to do three Sonic games exclusively on Nintendo platforms, including the revelation and first image of Sonic: Lost World for Wii U and 3DS.

The Pikmin 3 and the Wonderful 101 coming out on August 4th and September 15th, respectively, was some much welcomed information. Good move too, by Nintendo, to make New Super Luigi U (June 20th) be available as both DLC and in its own, totally awesome green box. Finally, a very smart decision in partnering up with 100 Best Buy stores throughout the US, this June, to bring Nintendo’s new Wii U and 3DS games that will be playable on the E3 show floor, to the gaming public at large. Keep on bringing it, Big N!
