Nintendo of America (and all of the other Nintendos) held a 3DS Nintendo Direct today. I loved almost every minute.

What did I like during this Direct? What did I love? What were the disappointments? Let’s find out! When Nintendo announced a new Direct for today, I tried to…

I’m a huge fan of Epic Mickey. When the game was released on the Wii, I thought it was one of the coolest Disney games ever. Warren Spector, previously developer on Deus Ex, loves Disney and you can tell just by playing Epic Mickey. He and his company, Junction Point, developed a sequel to Epic Mickey and then Disney shut the developer down. Spector has always talked about how he would have loved to have done a Ducktales game, but…

If you are one of the people who still hasn’t bought the game, well, you’ll have a chance to try out the game soon. The Splatoon Testfire demo, which came out before the game and has been resurrected since, will be back online this…
