Luigi's Mansion 2:
Hilarious game. Lots and lots of personality and clever slapstick. The camera system is a bit strange. You have to move the 3DS around to move the camera. That was hard to get used to.

Adventure Time:
Beautiful, hilarious game. I think I'll enjoy this world much better as a game than a TV show. I don't like the characters voices, so the fact the game is text dialogue helps me greatly. The enemies are hilarious, and detailed, and the sprite work and world detail is good. There are some really neat effects used in this one to generate depth.

Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion:
I didn't play this but I watched over Guru's shoulder, so that counts right? This is a game for Disney geeks, just like every other EM game. I found a few similarities to Kingdom Hearts, with it being apparent that the villain would be taking the guise of various Disney villains like Scar and Cruella. I'm guessing there may be worlds based on those movies but I have no idea there. The sprites are detailed, with hand-drawn backgrounds. Unfortunately, the backgrounds sometimes use recurring art, but it manages to stay gorgeous anyway. This may be the Rayman Origins of the system.

Paper Mario:
They didn't show anything that couldn't be found out on the website, but my impression is that it's going back to the tighter feeling of the original Paper Mario, with a world map for an overworld, and lack of experience points. So while it retains the originals feel, this game stands out from all three of the previous games, with a feeling of change similar to SPM.

And that's all I got for that.

All of these games. I wants them...
