It's once again time for E3 and, once again, Nintendo has opted to do an online presentation in lieu of a live press conference. Here's what's new.
Super Smash Bros.- Miis will be combatants with three different styles: Brawler, Swordfighter, and Gunner. Brawlers are fast, powerful, unarmed fighters for close combat. Swordfighters are masters of weapons. Gunners have arm cannons with many long-range projectiles. Each will be a separate class. Players can choose four special attacks from twelve options for each of the classes, meaning a total of 36 special attacks. You can design Miis after anyone, not just your friends and family. There are many new modes to play. Palutena will be a combatant. -3DS- October 14; Wii U- Holiday 2014
Amiibo are a new set of toys-to-life figures. They are embedded with chips, like the Disney Infinity and Skylanders figures are. Touch the Amiibo figurines to the Wii U Game Pad and it will instantly recognize them. They will spring to life in compatible games and the games and Nintendo can send data back to the figurines. For example, when used in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, your personal stats and fighting style will be downloaded into the figurine. This will be the first game to support Amiibo. You can fight with them or against them, or they can fight each other. They will also be compatible with Mario Kart 8.
Yoshi's Woolly World- This a new Yoshi game that incorporates the use of yarn and fabric into the gameplay. The world will be knitted and unraveled. Yoshi's abilities are centered around exploration.
