9 Nintendo games from E3 that you need to be excited for

Nintendo’s digital event last night for E3 2014 was nothing short of extraordinary. We watched Reggie Fils-Aime and Satoru Iwata duke it out in Super Smash Bros. and we watched Nintendo blow every single jaded industry enthusiast out there with its stellar presentation. But Nintendo also did all that in the morning on the other side of the world.

So let us bring you up to speed on some of the games you may have missed out on. By the end of this piece, you’ll probably be joining us in fanboying/fangirling!

Now clearly Link and all his peers from Hyrule cannot be yelling “musou”. What do you think can be their battle cry?

Finally, a real RPG from one of the big three! And a JRPG to boot!

Family-friendly shooting fun? Squids that transform into little children? I cannot begin to imagine Splatoon’s merchandising power.

Toad gets his dues at last!
