So much attention is being lavished on next generation console launches, it's almost easy to forget one of the most anticipated Wii U games of the year is shipping the same day as its big competition.
Apparently there's been some concern the upcoming Super Mario 3D World would spell the end of the Super Mario Galaxy series on Nintendo's consoles. Fortunately, we have Shigeru Miyamoto to set the record straight.
Nintendo pulled no punches during its E3 Nintendo Direct on Tuesday, dropping big first-party titles left and right, and giving Wii U owners hope for the future. While there were plenty of surprises along the way, the best news was the inclusion of multiplayer for the first time in a 3D Mario game.
