Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker E3 2014 trailer is painfully adorable
I think we can all agree that, while the same old question of “Who won E3 – Sony or Microsoft?” has still been going around, the truth is that Nintendo surprised and pleased everyone. The trailer for Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is no exception to this. The levels are colorful and whimsical, and the ability to switch to first-person view with the GamePad made me want the game right now.
Luckily, the wait won’t be that long, as the projected release date for Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on the Wii U is this holiday season.

Mario vs Donkey Kong coming to the Wii U
I’ve been holding off on buying a Wii U, mainly because my backlog of games is absolutely ludicrous. But after seeing this E3 2014 trailer for Mario vs Donkey Kong, I’m pretty sure my willpower is not going to be able to hold out. Not only does it have all of the mind-ticklingly fun puzzles you know and love, it’s also got a robust workshop, where you can make your own levels. There’s also a button that lets you “Yeah” and “UnYeah” things, which… I don’t even know what’s going on anymore.
Mario vs Donkey Kong will be out on the Wii U sometime in 2015.
Secret Ponchos available on Steam Early Access right now
See that? That is a glorious trailer for Secret Ponchos that Switchblade Monkeys showed at E3 2014. Even more amazing is the fact that the game launched on Steam Early Access just this morning. You can pick it up and start playing right now for just $11.24, which is 25% off the price. You can also get a pack of four copies for $33.74, so you can share them with your friends (and then murder them in-game). Please note, you need a controller to play the game as of right now.
Secret Ponchos was one of our beloved PAXpocalypse picks last year, so we’re excited about this news. The game will be coming to the PlayStation 4 this Fall and the full release of the PC version will be available sometime between this Fall and the first quarter of 2015.

Still no new Deep Down news… but here’s an E3 2014 trailer
There was a new trailer for Deep Down at E3 2014 at both the Sony and Capcom booths, but there’s no new information to be had just yet. Game Producer Yoshinori Ono said, “What we’ve released on deep down so far is quite mysterious in nature, and I’m sure fans are eager to hear more concrete info” on the PlayStation Blog. But after that, he gave a “heartfelt apology” about making fans wait longer.
Deep Down will be coming to the PlayStation 4 at some point.
No Man’s Sky continues to amaze in E3 2014 trailer
Sony showed off this gorgeous trailer for No Man’s Sky at its E3 press conference on Monday. The procedurally-generated open-world – or rather, open-universe – game promises to give every player a wholly unique experience. It’s ridiculously beautiful and so huge in scope that I’m sure gamers everywhere can’t wait to get their hands on it.
No Man’s Sky will be released on the PlayStation 4. There is no release date for it yet. For more details, check out the message from developer Hello Games at the PlayStation Blog.

Street Fighter 5 is in the early planning stages
According to the Japanese newspaper Sports Nippon (via EventHubs), Capcom executives revealed that Street Fighter 5 is in the pre-production phase during an E3 2014 interview. Their report states that Capcom President and COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto said that the game would include a “pay-for-advantage” model that would enable inexperienced players to compete with expert level fighting game fanatics. A Spectator Mode is also planned and Tsujimoto announced that the game will likely be developed for the PS4 and Xbox One.
As you can imagine, fighting game fans went into a rage over the “pay-for-advantage” announcement and Street Fighter Series Producer Yoshinori Ono took to Twitter to clarify that such a gameplay system is not being considered:
The SFV news today about a pay to win model is not accurate and isn't something we're planning for.
— Yoshinori Ono (@Yoshi_OnoChin) June 11, 2014
Sorry for the confusion! We're still in early planning stages and will
share more at a later date.
— Yoshinori Ono (@Yoshi_OnoChin) June 11, 2014
So that’s one crisis averted and Ono himself confirmed that Street Fighter 5 is in development. That’s all well and good, but the game is probably more than two years away at best.

Come watch CoD Advanced Warfare’s 9-minute E3 2014 gameplay walkthrough
I haven’t said this in a long time, but I’m actually pretty excited about the latest Call of Duty, which is called Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. It has some pretty amazing science fiction elements in it, but looks like it still has that smooth gameplay CoD players know and love. The E3 2014 gameplay walkthrough above shows off part of the “Induction” campaign level, which takes place in Seoul, South Korea. This game has some incredible features, like being able to rip off a car door and use it as a shield.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare will be out on November 4 for PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
Pokemon: Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby will be released on November 21
Finding a game showcased during this year’s E3 Expo that has been scheduled for a 2014 debut was an almost herculean task. But Pokemon: Alpha Sapphire and Pokemon: Omega Ruby as both games will be released for the 3DS on November 21.
Pokemon: Alpha Sapphire and Pokemon: Omega Ruby are remakes of the third generation of Pokemon games, Pokemon Sapphire and Pokemon Ruby, which were released for the Game Boy Advance in 2003. These new versions feature remade 3D graphics and a “Primal Reversion” to the game’s cover characters: Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon. That’s right, Pokemon has begun to de-evolve.
Be sure to check out the new trailer above, which highlights the evolutions of the game’s three starting Pokemon, and another new trailer featuring Mega Sableye, which can be found after the break. (more…)
