This is just what we want isn't it? That flying squirrel suit is cool but still a bit strange that we don't have the raccoon suit. We don't see it in the trailer in any case.
Yeah the game is an insta-buy though as a fan of quality I will of course be playing with a discerning eye :)

New Super Mario Bros 2 Trailer! Raccoon Mario flying, coin theme, economics?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO8xe2AUY4c
Here's the official E3 2012 trailer for the game. Very nice to watch and we're going to be getting it very soon in August.
I like the Raccoon Mario flying footage except for the fact that he flaps his arms now. That's weird. Before it was his moving tail that made him fly while his arms were out straight. It was the same in the cartoon show.
The coin theme is... interesting but I'm not so sure about it. Everywhere is coin heaven now. It'll definitely have a negative effect on the value of the coin unless there's a unique take on the scoring system.

Nintendo's E3 press conference was on today
It was exciting as usual to sit at the computer getting ready for it with a chat window in another tab with snacks to eat, like as if it was the Late Late Toy Show or something.
It was lacklustre this time apart from the immediate announcement of Pikmin 3 and the trailer for the new Mario Bros games on Wii U and 3DS. There wasn't much else that was exciting about the conference.
A lot was missing actually. It doesn't explain everything that carries over from the Wii, such as the Virtual Console for example. I'm shocked Dragon Quest X wasn't featured at all. They just wanted to focus on social media and third party developer accessibility for the most part I suspect.
Next up is all the stuff about 3DS.

Nintendo Direct from yesterday, Miiverse, pro controller, remote control etc
This went on for half an hour and heavily featured the Miiverse and social media features of the Wii U. That part was incredibly boring and irksome. I like the non specific action figure though :) in reaction to this I'm only going to make Miis that have non specific characteristics.
The other part of the social media thing I liked was that tiny clip that of a new 2D Mario. People online like Sean Malstrom have featured a gif of that clip on their blogs stripped of any social media stuff.
That tv remote control functionality seems okay and I hope they feature a button that switches between TV and AV channels.
They also announced a pro controller which looks almost exactly like an Xbox 360 controller. I guess that'll replace the Gamecube controller option that the Wii had. It'll surely be a better controller too because of the dpad and stuff.
Now the analogue sticks are official and they click like a Playstation's L3 and R3 buttons. My favourite part of this was the clicking sound effect they put in when they were demonstrating it :)

Mega Man X2 is on VC now
The first Mega Man X arrived on the VC within the past few months and now the sequel is there too. It would be a good chance to get into the series if you haven't already.
