Super Smash Bros. (Wii U)
It’s been a long time since Super Smash Bros. Brawl came out, and Nintendo repeating the method of doling out character reveals and other information for the first HD entry (along with its companion 3DS game, the first portable entry in the series) has done a great job of getting me hyped for the newest entry in the series.
The truckload of new character and information reveals that E3 has brought, along with getting to play it for the first time on the show floor, has me even more pumped. The Smash Bros. series has always been both a fun and unique take on the fighter genre as well as gaming’s biggest nostalgia trip, and this doesn’t look like it will break either of those traditions. Release day can’t come soon enough.
LittleBigPlanet 3
Spinoff entries like LittleBigPlanet Karting and the Vita game have been fun, but I’ve been wondering for a while when we would get word on the next proper home console entry to follow up the stellar LittleBigPlanet 2. Everything I’ve seen and played regarding LittleBigPlanet 3 has me interested to learn more about its new features, characters, and mechanics. New developer Sumo Digital looks to be doing a fine job taking the reins from series creators Media Molecule, and I look forward to seeing Sackboy make his PS4 debut this November.
For my full impressions on the game, check out our hands-on preview.
