The game does look quite nice based on what’s shown here, but as a pack-in for a $20 piece of plastic — one that lacks its predecessors cruel laughing dog — we aren’t expecting a lot out of it. If it gives you six hours of enjoyment over its entire life span, we’ll be impressed....

No, not Tax Day Most of Nintendo’s release calendar was set in stone at E3 this year, with its biggest titles of the show getting comfortable release dates throughout 2019 and into March of next year. The one exception wasLuigi’s Mansion 3, the Next Level Games-developed threequel to Nintendo’s wonderfulMariohaunted house spin-off. We knew it was coming in 2019, it didn’t get pushed into 2020 likeAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, but we didn’t know exactly when it would be playable on our Switch consoles....

Nothing could get me down right now. Nothing. You could tell me that I definitely have breast cancer, and I’d be fine with it, at least for today. Maybe tomorrow I’d be depressed, but for right now, the world can do no wrong. Why? Because Level-5 and Capcom are teaming up to make aProfessor Layton and Phoenix Wrightcrossover title for the 3DS All is right with the world. The game will apparently take place in a otherworldly town where magic is real, and Phoenix has to defend his client in a witch trial....

If you want to get in on the action, developer Flippfly is offering uppre-orders on their site....

It’s also nowhere to be found on the eShop charts The hits forBalan Wonderworldkeep coming. Following a poor critical reception, the Square Enix-published mascot platformerallegedly has only sold roughly 2,000 copies in Japan. Evidently, the game did not even chart (with any SKUs), missing the top 30 at retail. Though we don’t have the digital sales figures from Square Enix, it’s increasingly likely that they will ignore that this game exists eventually....
