Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

Sure, Reggie and Iwata talked a heap about the 3DS (while gingerly sidestepping the price, and refraining from comment on any forward-transfer ability with your current DSi), and the surprise Kid Icarus reveal was positioned as the system’s brightest star. But Nintendo has announced several other 3DS titles, including some familiar names that just did not make it into the E3 presentation. Paper Mario. Starfox. PilotWings. And yes, Animal Crossing is back for another go. Read on for the screens and synopses from seven games, and pretend they’re in 3D by crossing your eyes and moving your head in circles.

These four games are playable at E3. Haygood, get a picture of you naming a show floor Nintencat after me!

nintendogsTM + cats
• The adorable puppies of Nintendogs come to life in the palm of your hand on the Nintendo 3DS system with even cuter and more expressive puppies. The interaction between puppy and player also goes beyond the screens to draw players in like never before.
• Nintendogs uses the built-in camera and facial-recognition technology to enable puppies to react to your real-life movements, mimicking your head tilts and jumping up to lick you as you lean in.
• The 3D visuals and the deep interaction offered by the touch screen, microphone and camera of the Nintendo 3DS system make for a deeper emotional connection to your puppies, giving players even greater joy from an already heartwarming experience.
• Everything that made the original Nintendogs great also returns, with multiple breeds to choose from, accessories for your puppies to wear and the ability to let your puppy train and compete in different challenges and activities.
• The game will also introduce cats to the series for the first time.

Steel DiverTM
• Steel Diver is a new submarine action-simulation game from Nintendo that uses touch-screen control to guide submarines through lush, undersea 3D environments.
• Players will manipulate switches and levers on the touch screen to control their sub’s speed, depth, pitch and torpedoes. Branching paths, split-second decisions and attacks from enemy ships make for a thrilling undersea adventure with unique touch controls.
• Graphically, the 3D in Steel Diver makes it feel like you are peering into an aquarium, with the action unfolding before your eyes.

PilotWings ResortTM
• Nintendo returns to air sports, this time at Wuhu Island – the setting for Wii SportsTM Resort and Wii FitTM Plus. You can soar through the skies over the familiar island in a hang glider, jet pack or airplane, each with its own unique controls, its own distinct feel of flight and its own new game play in 3D.
• PilotWings Resort offers a wealth of activities, challenges and game play for gamers of all tastes, whether you want to be soaring leisurely in the skies over Wuhu Island or flying competitively based on time and points.
• PilotWings Resort features a breadth and depth of field that can only be achieved with the 3D effects of the Nintendo 3DS system, offering a feel and style of play never before seen in a flight game.

Star Fox 64TM 3D
• The Star Fox team triumphantly returns to one of its greatest missions with the remake of Star Fox 64 in full 3D.
• The entire Star Fox universe spreads out realistically into the depths of the Nintendo 3DS screen. The 3D visuals give players a clearer grasp of distance and position, making the game more approachable and intuitive for players to focus on the action.
• Star Fox 64 3D also puts the two screens of Nintendo 3DS to use, with the top screen featuring the 3D game play.

These three games are running in demo mode, so boothgoers can look but not control.

Animal CrossingTM
• The world of Animal Crossing comes to life on the Nintendo 3DS system, complete with new game play and a new graphical look that, together with 3D visuals, breathe new life into the already living, breathing world of Animal Crossing.
• In Animal Crossing, players move out on their own to live a life of ease in a village of walking, talking animals. But this time around, unexpected circumstances suddenly put the player in the role of Mayor in a town they’ve only just arrived in. With the help of the many unique townsfolk and one eager secretary, players will enjoy making their new town a better place for all to live in.
• Animal Crossing will also take advantage of the enhanced wireless functionality of the Nintendo 3DS system.

Mario KartTM
• Mario and friends will be shooting shells, splashing ink and throwing banana peels across the screen when Mario Kart races onto the Nintendo 3DS system. This Mario Kart game will deliver dynamically thrilling races with the 3D visuals of the Nintendo 3DS system.
