Super Mario 3D World is looking like the Super Mario we have all been waiting for

WiiU_SuperMario_scrn02_E3

Super Mario 3D World for the Nintendo Wii U is starting to look like the first innovative Mario game in quite some time. The mix of open area 3d style and platform style is impeccable. Not to mention, FINALLY a Mario in HD (It looks absolutely stunning BTW)

I have had a chance to get some hands on time with it a couple of times now, and I must say, I had a blast. Ether with friends or alone, it is a whole lot of fun. The new powers are great (I mean a cat suit?? YES PLEASE!) It controls wonderfully, and you can use the Wii U controller.  1080p Mario is a sight for sore eyes (please release a Super Mario Galaxy in HD, PLEASE) This is gaming fun at its purest form. I can’t remember the last time a game made me giddy while playing, just from the sheer amount of whimsy. But anyways, to get a better idea of what I am talking about, take a look at the trailer below, and prepare to get excited!

Super Mario 3d World is slated to be released on November 22, Exclusively on the Wii U.

From the guys that brought us last years Incredible, Mark of the Ninja, Klei are at it again, throwing the stealth genre on it’s head with their new one, Incognita.  I think the video does the best job for showing this game off, so I will just say, take a watch below.

So Incognita is Available for early alpha access on Windows PC’s here. It is also on the way to steam in the coming future. Also if you have yet to pick up their other simply amazing game Mark of the Ninja it too is available on Steam here.

You won’t find any Kain or Raziel in this Nosgoth

Nosgoth Logo

Well, Legacy of Kain and Soul Reaver fans, I am sorry to tell you, the new game set in this universe has absolutely nothing to do with either of those franchise’s, except for being set in the same “universe”.  Nosgoth is the competitive, team-based Human vs. Vampire free-to-play multiplayer game set in the dark fantasy world of the ‘Legacy of Kain’ series. The premise is that this game takes place during the war between Humans and Vampires. You can either play as a human or a vampire, the humans are more range characters with weapons, and the Vampires are more melee focused characters, where they themselves are weapons, and their movement is also much greater (run on walls, one can fly, etc) Square Enix has released the first video showing off this new game, you can check it out below.

Nosgoth is going to be a Free To Play game, and it is going into closed beta soon. Nosgoth is being developed for the PC, no word on a console release at this time. If you want to know more, and sign up for the closed beta, you can go here, Nosgoth.

wind-waker-HD

So the new VERY pretty version of The Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker HD comes out in the Nintendo e-Shop tomorrow for the Wii U, and is hitting stores on Oct 4. So we thought we would show you this video showcasing just how BIG of an increase this new one is in graphical fidelity over the original. The Video may be in Japanese, but we can look and see just how far from the original this new remake is. I don’t know about you guys, but I know what I will be playing once this is released.
