Yesterday's Nintendo Direct delivered a ton of exciting new Super Smash Bros. gameplay footage. In total, there was approximately 5 minutes of brand new 3DS footage and a whopping 18 and a half minutes of Wii U gameplay. Check out the footage from the Direct below with all non-gameplay moments removed.
Looks pretty fun. I've never played any Mario Golf, is the one for GB Color on VC worth getting?
The famed arcade classic will be making its way to the 3DS in Japan.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/36933/outrun-speeding-onto-3ds
Arcade classic OutRun will be the next title to get the Sega 3D Classics treatment in Japan.
A logo for the upcoming title recently appeared on the Japanese website for the Sega 3D Ages (3D Classics) series. It will be the third title following After Burner II and Fantasy Zone Opa-Opa Bros. in the second set of 3D Classics releases.
While no announcements have been made about these titles coming to the west, Sega's Yosuke Okunari noted that they may be released if the first set of Sega 3D Classics (Galaxy Force II, Ecco the Dolphin, etc.) are successful overseas.
Originally released in 1986, OutRun lets players drive a Ferrari at high speeds and enjoy the thrill of the open road. Innovations at it's original release included the ability to choose music from multiple radio stations and branching pathways allowing for a non-linear driving experience. The game's creator Yu Suzuki has stated that Out Run is not a racing game, but instead a "driving" one.
Donkey Kong stopped by the Nintendo World Store to let people try a demo of his upcoming game.

Nintendo invited select Club Nintendo members to get a sneak peak at Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze earlier today at the Nintendo World Store in New York City. Along with a demo version of Tropical Freeze featuring Cranky Kong (that will soon debut at Wii U demo kiosks across the country), Donkey Kong was also on hand to celebrate his new game's impending release. Check out some video from the event below.
Sonic's new Wii U adventure delivers on both the speed and exploration fronts.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/review/35746
Scroll down to the bottom for a video review.
Sonic’s been on a roll as of late. Both Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations succeeded where past 3D efforts failed by returning the focus to platforming. Thankfully, Sonic Lost World, Sonic’s latest adventure on the Wii U, is not only built from the same mold, but its best moments feel like the first accurate representation of classic 2D Sonic gameplay in three dimensions.
One of the great things about the Genesis Sonic games were the branching pathways through the levels. While recent 3D Sonic titles have offered different routes, Sonic Lost World has taken things to next level with its spherical land masses. Reminiscent of Super Mario Galaxy, Sonic can run 360 degrees around the game’s floating islands and the developers take full advantage by filling every nook and cranny with obstacles and shortcuts.
To make Sonic’s journey through the sometimes-devious stage layouts a bit easier, Sonic Team has endowed the hedgehog with some new moves. The new parkour system lets Sonic automatically hop over small obstacles and allows him to run up and along walls. A new kick move lets Sonic disable the armor of certain enemies and can also let him send other Badniks flying into the air. The Spin Dash and Homing Attack make a return, and now Sonic has a dedicated run button to give the player precise control of his speed.
Another important part of Sonic’s arsenal is the return of Color Powers. Favorites from Sonic Colors like the Yellow Wisp Drill are back and are still a lot of fun to use. However, a number of the new Wisps utilize the Wii U GamePad in sometimes unexciting fashion. For example, the brand new Magenta Rhythm Color Power lets you to tap on musical notes on the touch screen to bounce around the stage. Instead of being enjoyable and intuitive, it feels like more of an annoyance that slows down the action.
Along with the wonderfully inventive spherical-filled zones, Sonic Lost World also features a number of 2D areas that play quite similarly to those found in Sonic Colors. Sonic’s new parkour system can be used in the 2D areas as well, but you will mostly need to use your standard jumping skills to traverse these areas. The jumping controls can be a bit floaty and will sometimes result in an unintended plunge to Sonic’s doom.
Along with Dr. Robotnik (I will never call him Eggman), Sonic must faceoff with six menacing creatures known as the Deady Six. The boss battles against the Deadly Six are quite varied and range from throwbacks to Genesis boss fights to one in particular that feels like it could have come straight out of Super Mario Galaxy.
Sonic Lost World does a good job of playing on the nostalgia of old Sonic fans. There are returning Badniks in every zone of the game, and there are number of other nods to the past such as the return of casino pinball.
Another area of the game that appears to take some inspiration from the Mario series is the inclusion of a Super Guide-like help system. If you die numerous times in a section of a level, you will be given the option of skipping to the next checkpoint. There are a few 2D sections that are quite aggravating near the end of the game, making the skipping ability quite welcome.
Sonic Lost World has a very simple and clean graphical style so that the game can run at a smooth 60 frames-per-second. While the game does feature occasional bouts of slowdown, Sonic races through the levels at a silky smooth clip for the majority of the time. However, you will notice a bit of scenery pop-up when running through the levels. While the game’s soundtrack is quite pleasant and fits with the scenery, the absence of music by Kenichi Tokoi, who composed many of the great tunes for Sonic Colors, is certainly noticeable.
When Nintendo first brought Mario into 3D in Super Mario 64, it was clear that, while the gameplay had evolved, the basic essence of Mario had remained true. One could argue that it has taken Sega 17 years to finally allow Sonic to make that leap. It’s exhilarating to race across cylinders and use Sonic’s new moves to wall jump through a spike-filled area, although not every stage of Sonic Lost World is a true playground for Sonic’s new abilities. Despite the uneven level of polish on the stages, Sonic Lost World is a great platformer that shouldn’t be missed.

On October 29, Sonic Lost World will be released on the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. The new game features numerous nods to the classic Sonic games along with the return of the Wisps from Sonic Colors. In the following video walk-through, Sega's Aaron Webber shows us a near final build of Sonic Lost World.
Sega is optimizing the new Sonic game to run at a silky smooth 60 frames per second. Because YouTube does not show 60 FPS, we've also created a short video showing the game running at its true frame rate.

Last year during E3, our Video Producer Jared Rosenberg pointed out while we were in the hotel that he could set up a live stream. So we did, and a few folks even watched us talk about E3 and, at one point, play Cards Against Humanity.
This year, we're planning to do more of the same, but with a pre-planned schedule of when we're doing them so you know when to tune in. Remember: E3 is chaos and we might not start on time. Check our Twitter if we're running late and we'll let you know what's up. The live stream itself will be up on our Twitch page and we will also have an article up on the site.
