Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U, Most Gender Neutral Roster Yet

More amazing news from Nintendo! They've added Lucina and Robin (Player 1 Avatar) from Fire Emblem: Awakening (check out my review for that game here!) to the Super Smash Bros. Roster. How awesome is that? We've seen characters like Palutena (Kid Icarus: Arising) and Princess Rosalina (Super Mario Galaxy) get added, but with another female character announced I couldn't be happier. On top of that they've made characters gender neutral by allowing players to pick between their male and female counterparts; the Villager, Wii Fit Trainer and now Robin are all playable as male or female. I love a lot of the characters they've announced already, but making the roster equal parts female to male is a step in the right direction. So many gamers are female so why not represent the gender better? Good on ya Nintendo!

Rosalina Enters The Ring!

Rosalina enters the ring with her super cute buddy Luma in the new Super Smash Bros! I can’t get enough of the female fighters in this series! Not only is she badass, but she’s a welcomed addition to the roster. I’m very excited for this game to come out.

Professor Layton Vs. Phoenix Wright Officially Anounced for North America

Two of my favourite series on the Nintendo DS/3DS are clashing together for this awesome mashup on the Nintendo 3DS. For a while it seemed like the title would be exclusive to Japan, but Nintendo Direct released news on August 7th that the title will be coming to NA/EU in 2014. Both titles have awesome stories with problem solving elements, so it seems natural for them to appear together in the same game. I included both series in my josei DS games list here. I’ll do my best to update news on this title as it comes out! Until then I’m very excited.
