Why is this bad?

Star Fox Assault.


A seven year old game.

What has that team done since?

A bunch of crappy Naruto and Dragon Ball Z games?

Bravely Default Flying Fairy looks pretty good, it's an RPG by Square Enix. Pretty sure this is another new game announced, liking this conference a lot more than the last.

NSMB2 features the Koopa Kids again! :wub:
New trailer was shown with a clip of the intro, the whole gang flying off in the Koopa flying thing from world, they must have nicked the Princess.
Seems to have some street pass feature where you just battle based on your total number of coins.
Mentioned something about a Coin Dash mode, will have paid download stages following release.

Namco Bandai being involved =/= the SFA guys working on this. One of the two main individuals singled out was Yoshito Higuchi, the Tales series director, which is a good thing.

And Chalky, HAL stopped working on Smash Bros. when Sakurai split from them and started his own team, Sora, which is now working on this new Smash Bros., and previously made Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Why wasn't all this announced at E3?

I'd be over that, day 1 if it had the second slider stick. Why couldn't they just put that on there, enough room. Now the original form won't fit on it either... :fp:

It doesn't come with an AC adaptor either...

Staydead's probably got it pre-ordered already. :shifty:

I don't care about some art game, I want me a trailer for Smash Bros and a new Zelda!

Zuma crossed with digitised graphics, I did not see that coming.

Surefire bet for a European release at any rate

Very weird Japan only version of Puzzle Loop (Zuma) being shown for the eShop. You throw people into a queue and match the colour of their clothes :lol:

Really going all out with the Kid Icarus cards, 4 new volumes.

A new Monster Hunter quest set, don't see how that's going to work on the new 3DS LL that doesn't support dual thumb sliders...

Damn I thought that was a Smash Bros trailer :fp:

All this serves to do is remind me I've barely started DQ9

What a banana split, he bowed out before mentioning Smash Bros. Now 11 minutes of Dragon Quest X.

I stayed up for Smash! Well, the direct was A LOT better than the 3DS one for E3, a lot of new stuff shown.

Now is there another one on or can I go to bed now? :fp:

This.

Some really good new stuff shown, boggles the mind why they didn't show it.
