Animal Crossing: New Leaf releasing June 9<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Perhaps the most anticipated title in this line up, Nintendo has finally set the release date for Animal Crossing: New Leaf as June 9th. Players will become the mayor of their new towns instead of being an errand boy for Tom Nook. New features also include the ability to design your town \u00a0and the outside of your home, choose the location of your home dynamically, and visit all the shops available in the game through the Main Street Boulevard instead of running from place to place.<\/p>\n Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon is coming March 24th<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Satoru Iwata kicked off this Nintendo Direct by declaring 2013 as the year of Luigi. Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon will debut on March 24th and will feature brand new mansions to explore, new ways to use the Poltergust gun and new ghosts and critters to track. The game will also feature local and online multi-player with three different modes, including hunter, chaser, and climber.<\/p>\n Mario & Luigi Dream Team Announced for Summer 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The second title Iwata announced in the year of Luigi is a new Mario RPG game featuring Luigi. The gameplay for the game sees Luigi’s dreams as the setting, with players having to get various reactions from a sleeping Luigi in order to complete the puzzles. If you were a fan of Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story, then this game is meant for you. No specific release date has been announced for the game yet, but Iwata said to expect it in the summer of 2013.<\/p>\n Mario Gold World Tour Announced<\/strong><\/p>\n
