14 DAY TRIAL // Nintendo's E3 2011 press conference brought forth a massive amount of information about all of its platforms, from the DS or 3DS to the current Wii or upcoming Wii U, as well as in regards to the many games that will be released for all of them.
We already presented the Wii U and its impressive controller, as well as the games that will be making their way to the existing Wii home console.
Now, it's time to show off the many titles that will be heading to the recently released Nintendo 3DS portable console.
Such games include Super Mario, Luigi's Mansion 2, Mario Kart, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Star Fox 3D, Paper Mario, Kid Icarus: Uprising or the all-new The Rolling Western.
First off, Super Mario will no doubt make the 3DS a must-have console, as it's going to deliver a new take on the classic Mario gameplay from a 3D perspective, making it easier for players to go through levels, and bringing back classic features like the Tanooki suit for Mario, which allows him to take on brand new enemies.
Super Mario for the Nintendo 3DS is scheduled to appear this winter holiday season, but, until then, check out a few screenshots and a video below.
Next up, fans of the Mario's less famous brother, Luigi, will be thrilled to hear that a sequel to the classic Luigi's Mansion is being made for the 3DS, with the taller Italian plumber taking center stage to eliminate ghosts through a variety of ways, solve puzzles and uncover the mysteries of various haunted mansions.
The game is scheduled to appear next year for the 3DS handheld, so, until then, you can enjoy the screenshots below as well as a special trailer.
Mario Kart has been officially confirmed for the 3DS by the Japanese company, this time adding plenty of brand new features that take advantage of the device's 3D capabilities as well as its improved hardware that will allow for even more outlandish races to be held.
New abilities for karts include the possibility of fitting glider wings or a propeller when you're going underwater, as well as fit bigger or smaller tires, depending on the track and its layout.
Mario Kart for the 3DS is also scheduled to appear during this winter holiday season, but Nintendo did deliver a batch of screenshots and a video of the upcoming game.
The upcoming Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D also received a few more details, right before its release on June 19.
The title, which remasters the iconic Ocarina of Time with 3D visuals, bundles together not just the regular game, but also the tougher Master Quest version, as well as a Hint system, in order to help players who are stuck on some of the title's many puzzles.
The game will be out soon, but you can enjoy the new screenshots as well as the video below.
Another classic title set to be remastered is Star Fox 3D, bringing back the cult hit Star Fox 64 together with its extremely popular characters, including the famous Fox McCloud, this time with reimagined gameplay for the 3DS, a visual upgrade and new control methods.
A local multiplayer mode is also present, with up to four players being able to engage in aerial combat through the 3DS' Wi-Fi connection.
Star Fox 3D is expected on the 3DS on September 11, this year, so check out the screenshots and video below.
Kid Icarus: Uprising was also showcased by Nintendo during its E3 2011 press conference, depicting how the new title will change up the classic Kid Icarus gameplay, in order to take advantage of the glasses-free 3D effect, as well as giving the main protagonist, Pit, brand new powers that he can use to dispatch of enemies.
Support for things like AR Cards is also set to be included in Kid Icarus: Uprising when it is released during the winter holiday season, but feel free to check out the screenshots and video of the game below.
The Nintendo 3DS will also see the arrival of Paper Mario, as the beloved Mario spinoff series will receive its own 3D-enabled iteration on the portable console in the future.
The company didn't present any other details about it, but a batch of screenshots and a video were showcased to the public.
In between many sequels, Nintendo did take the time to present an all-new property that will appear for the 3DS, in the form of The Rolling Western, a special type of game that sees players step into the shell of an armadillo, who needs to bring justice to a wild west filled with enemies and shady characters.
While it's definitely a change from what we're used to see from Nintendo, the game's screenshots and video depict a pretty interesting experience, which is going to appear as a downloadable title through the 3DS' eShop store in the future.
