New Ways To Play at the Nintendo E3 2014 Press Conference
Over the past few years Nintendo haven’t announced anything big, per-say but they always manage to announce something interesting and appealing to players of all ages and with many gamers assuming that Nintendo were not going to hold a press conference this year: Nintendo came out with a funny and witty press conference whilst also announcing some new games and hardware like the “Amiibo”.
Amiibo

Amiibo was definitely the most notable point about the Nintendo E3 2014 press conference as it is going to be a major player in Nintendo’s first party games and will hopefully be opened up to third party developers over the coming year. Amiibo is an action figure – like what Disney Infinity uses – but for multiple games; you can take your Amiibo into five different games where you can grow and improve their skills!

Around 10 figures are set to be available at launch with Super Smash Bros. set to be the first game to support Amiibo. Other games including: Mario Kart 8, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Mario Party 10 and Yoshi’s Woolly World will have Amiibo support.
Mario Maker (Working title)

Mario Maker was yet another surprise announcement at the Nintendo E3 2014 conference as in all the years that we have been able to play Mario games, not once have we been able to create full levels ourselves but now: Nintendo are giving players the opportunity to do so with the arrival of Mario Maker.

 
Yoshi’s Woolly World

One of everyone’s most favourite characters from the world of Mario is: Yoshi and now he has his own game too! Yoshi’s Woolly World is a game focussing on similar elements to Mario Bros. where you can explore different worlds alone or with a co-op partner but this is not your ordinary exploration game – oh no! Yoshi’s world is all made of wool!

From the platforms to the pipes to Yoshi himself: all made out of wool. The game looks insanely fun to play with the ability to eat your co-op partner and spit them back out to get them to higher positions looks like a lot of fun.

 

Plenty of other games were announced at the Nintendo E3 2014 conference including:

Art Academy (working title) (Wii U)
Bayonetta 2 (Wii U)
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Wii U)
Hyrule Warriors (Wii U)
Kirby (working title) (Wii U)
Mario Party 10 -(Wii U)
Mario vs Donkey Kong (Working title) (Wii U)
Splatoon (Wii U)
Xenoblade Chronicles X (Wii U)

Watch The Full Press Conference here.

With Nintendo unveiling quite a few surprise announcements: which was your favourite from this year’s Nintendo E3 2014 press conference?

The Sims 4 Release Date Has Been Announced For September 2nd 2014.
At EA’s annual E3 conference, the team finally revealed the release date for the highly-anticipated Sims 4. The release date, for the Sims 4, has been announced as September 2nd 2014; the game will release worldwide spanning multiple consoles.

The partnership between EA and Maxis, the developer behind the popular simulation game: The Sims, has been a long and lasting partnership for many years and are always surprising players with new and exciting features in each iteration of The Sims.

During EA’s E3 2014 conference, EA showcased those new and exciting features for The Sims 4. One of the most notable implementations, in The Sims 4, is the more life-like element to the game with your Sim’s having different facial expressions as well as each Sim having different attitudes which can be reflected in the day-to-day lives of every Sim in your game.

The Sims 4 is a vast improvement from its predecessor as the updated game engine allows for improved graphics and playability as well as the integration of a gallery. The new gallery enables you to view homes and Sims created by other players; not only can you view them but you can import other player’s Sim’s into your game where you can interact and communicate with them too!

With the Sims being an established franchise, The Sims 4 can only please the players even more than the previous Sims games have and with the implementation of an overhauled ‘Build Mode‘, what more can players ask for in the upcoming Sims 4?
