Excited for Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D? You better be. (This is where you can imagine me waving my fist at those who answered, “No.”) If you’re ultra-excited for it, feel free to watch the commercial for the game after the break. Of course, it is marketing material, so there may be a better use of your time, but meh —
You’re educated individual and you can make your own decisions.
The above scan from Coro Coro magazine in Japan has revealed four new Pokémon for Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. Moving in a clockwise direction and starting from the top, the Pokémon are:
You can also check after the break for some other scans, one of which confirms that the game’s set in Karos Region, a location that’s inspired by France.
For the most part, I don’t bother to preorder things. It rarely feels necessary. But since the Animal Crossing: New Leaf will probably sell-out quite quickly, preordering might be a good idea. At the moment, it’s available via Best Buy for $219.99, so there’s at least that one available option to secure the game and uniquely-designed system.
Some of the biggest news from the past few weeks is that Nintendo is not hosting a major press conference before E3. Michael Pachter, an industry analyst, has reacted to this by saying it’s both good and bad, and you can find his reasons after the break. But it sounds like he thinks Nintendo will back at E3 next year, while I’m thinking they want to move away from it as much as possible to do their own thing. I don’t think we’re going to see Nintendo hosting press conferences at E3 in the same capacity as before.

According to a listing on GameFly.com, Mario Golf: World Tour might be released in North America on the 25th of August. The site isn’t always completely accurate with unannounced dates, but they have been right in the past, so think of it as a coin toss with slightly better odds.

Not afraid of spoilers? You’re braver than I, but if that is the case, there’s a video after the break that shows the first fifty-minutes of Animal Crossing: New Leaf. The difference from previous extended videos, of course, is that it’s the English version.
So, as reported previously, Nintendo is not hosting a major press conference before E3 like in previous years (or like Sony and Microsoft). They will, however, be hosting their own, mini-press conference. This, as it turns out though, will focus on the Wii U rather than the 3DS. I’m sure there’ll be some 3DS news, but I’m guessing most of it will either arrive in a Nintendo Direct broadcast before or after E3.
