At first glance, Tri Force Heroes seems to be very similar to the competitive Four Swords games, but the similarities end with the multiplayer experience. Tri Force Heroes is not a competitive game, but rather a three-player co-op experience…
E3 has come to a close, and with that there is a certain amount of reflection, relief, and excitement for what’s to come! After traveling 4,000 miles roundtrip in order to go to the show, I’ve found myself reflecting a great deal not only on the show and how I feel about Nintendo, but on where I…
Two days ago, Satoru Iwata had tweeted that he was closely listening to fans’ opinions over this passing E3, and that Nintendo would do their best to meet their expectations.

After more than two decades of absence, the Nintendo World Championships returned on June 14, 2015, and a new champion was crowned. Sixteen players met onstage to see who would come out on top.

As is traditionally the case, Nintendo’s presentation at E3 this year will be shorter than that of its rivals.

Koei Tecmo may have let one of Nintendo’s E3 surprises slip, as an unlisted video from their YouTube channel has popped up all over the internet.
