A trailer was shown for Monolith Soft’s next game during the last Nintendo Direct. The game seems to be similar to their previous game, the critically acclaimed Xenoblade Chronicles for Wii, and may feature multiplayer as suspected by the side bar on the left during parts of the trailer. The trailer can be found after the break.
In the last Nintendo Direct, Satoru Iwata announced that the next 3D Mario platformer from Nintendo EAD and the next Mario Kart will be playable at E3 2013 in June. No further information was given on the subject.
In an unexpected twist to yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, a crossover game between Nintendo and Atlus, currently named “Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem“, was announced.
The game will be a crossover (obviously) between the Fire Emblem series from Nintendo and the Shin Megami Tensei series from Atlus. No gameplay, story details, or release window were revealed, and all we got was a trailer you can watch after the break.

Tank! Tank! Tank! has not been performing well with sales and as a result from that it has gone free-to-play on the Wii U eShop. The free version does not contain all of the maps or a campaign mode. However, this extra content can be purchased and added to the free version.
Hopefully, this goes outside of Japan and encourages the developers to make more content for the game.
