Here it is though you can now download the video off the eShop as of today. I haven't connected today so I'm not sure whether it's in 3D or not.
In any case it's Paper Mario so you can expect it to have a certain level of goodness about it. I like the fan that's featured in the trailer and I also like the big Goomba sticker, which has this glitter effect. It's reminiscent of all those Panini soccer stickers we used to collect as kids. Nostalgic! (I don't miss buying those stickers though!!!)

Wii U's Nintendo Land (Part 2)
I forgot to mention the Animal Crossing themed Sweet Day yesterday. This seems like fun too and it makes me think of the multiplayer modes in one of the Zelda DS games where a player could play as either Link or as a guard. You kind of need stuff like this for every video game console.
There's also the Luigi's Mansion themed game that seems very reminiscent of Pac-Man VS. That game is one of the first I thought about when I first learned about the Wii U last year and all I gotta say is it just has to make an appearance. It just has to.

Wii U's Nintendo Land
There are loads and loads of videos featuring the various aspects of Nintendo Land on YouTube so I won't go into them. I am quite interested in the Donkey Kong and Zelda themed games and I'd love to try them.
The Zelda one for example reminds me of Dragon Quest Swords. I liked that game even though there were control issues. I'm expecting a better experience from Zelda; Skyward Sword had great controls after all.

Rayman Legends E3 trailers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmVtkqypEBw
Here's the E3 trailer for Rayman Legends that shows the "asymmetric gameplay" we keep hearing about. This shows it off very nicely actually. 2 guys platforming, 1 guy doing a cursor-like character with the touchscreen. Have a look.

There's also this famous level with the rhythm action and guitar rockin' out action! This is what kind of won me over.
I wonder how single players would go through those levels? Particularly the rhythm action one? How are they going to implement that I wonder? We'll find out the whole deal with this soon enough.

Heroes of Ruin demo and E3 trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oW2PSk8L-50
Here's the trailer that was featured at E3 though if you already have a 3DS and the means to connect it online you can see a lot more videos of it on the eShop. A downloadable demo of it was recently made available too. I had a go of it and it seems decent enough. The dialogue is stuffy and boring but the beast character I was playing as was pretty cool and he had a cool voice. I also like the quick access to healing, equipping and selling via the d-pad. The main gameplay is solid enough, nothing too special but it's ok.
This of course is one of Square-Enix's endeavours to make games that would appeal to players in the west. I wonder if it'll turn out well.

Pikmin 3 the Real-time action-management game
Here's the trailer anyway:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxWIvaD2XQI
I have to say that the New Play Control version of Pikmin 2 is great with Wii remote controls and that's a dead cert that this sequel will be a great game.
We see new stuff like Rock Pikmin and extra leaders whom you can delegate tasks to, adding an extra sense of depth to the action.
Miyamoto described this game as a "Real-time action-management" game. I always have a hard time describing this game to people who haven't played it. Whenever I say "strategy" people immediately start thinking of those PC strategy games or those Final Fantasy Tactics styled games.
Of course this isn't new to me or many other fans. The Pikmin series is 10 years old now can you imagine! I do remember buying the first game during the Summer months after the Gamecube launched. It's a series that never really got hugely popular but did have a good lot of fans.
The theatrics on stage with Miyamoto blowing the whistle and doing funny puppet stuff with a stuffed red Pikmin was fun enough. The way Bill Trinen walked out like a Pikmin and the way Reggie said he felt like a purple Pikmin was strange. Nintendo's PR entertainment always threads this fine line. It's very hard to describe how you feel when watching it.
There's one area where I have to commend them and that is putting a 3 in the title instead of some ridiculous subtitle. I hate titles with subtitles.

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon E3 2012 trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm_mwNj06Uo
It's a pity that this sequel has a subtitle instead of a number. This game has been a long time coming hasn't it? Not sure when it'll be out. In addition to the above footage I've seen videos of people playing and it looks like there's very little stylus usage! Thank goodness! I'd hate there to be after the bad controls of Kid Icarus Uprising.
I'm looking forward to this game because it's an adventure game at heart and that's the type of game I like to see on 3DS because, say in the case of Ocarina of Time 3D, the gyro controls really make the game. I've almost forgotten that feature it's been so long. Luigi's Mansion 2 (force of habit) is one game I'm sure I can purchase confidently.
