E3 2011: Nintendo - 3DS Explosion!

The orchestra plays Miyamoto out, and next up is Iwata, the global president, with Ben Folds playing in the background. He's hard to understand, but he's talking about how players play.

The new platform, he says, will change this, and it will offer wider appeal to ALL gamers. The details will wait, but he wants to tell us that it will serve every player, and this platform will reach the goal.

On the 3DS, a video is shown displaying many upcoming releases, such as Mario Kart, Star Fox, and Mario 3DS, featuring the Tanooki Suit. Kid Icarus is also shown, along with what looks like Luigi's Mansion for 3DS!!!

Here comes Reggie Fils-Aime. He says we want old stuff, and new stuff. Comfortable, and a surprise. Something for everyone. Five key titles will be shown on the floor.

Mario Kart is all-new, and the karts can now fly and go underwater, in addition to just driving. New customization options are also show, with new ways to trick out your kart. It's set for Holiday 2011.

Star Fox is back, and the 3D is all new. Buttons can be used, as well as the gyroscope on the 3DS for controls. The 3DS camera records your friends' reactions in multiplayer this September.

Next is Super Mario 3DS. He's coming with all new and old features. The game looks beautiful, with crisp simple graphics as Mario runs and jumps through a 3D world. The Tanooki suit is back in full-form, as well. The game should be released before the year ends.

Kid Icarus:Uprising has lots if new details. An awesome trailer reveals online play with your friends, which kooks very very cool. The game looks beautiful, too, and look very realistic. An Augmented Reality segment was shown too, with Pit and Medusa duking it out. Pit sounds like he's got a new voice actor, as well. Coming later this year.

Luigi's Mansion is back, too, with Luigi looking as scared as ever as he vacuums up ghosts in a mansion. I haven't played the original, so I don't know what's new or not, but I can say that it looks amazing!! Reggie says it's all new, and features several new mansions.
