Every so often Nintendo does a “Nintendo Direct” which is a live streamed video showing off their new products, or their new products which have received some major updates. They showed off one of these such directs this morning, which today took the form of a “Nintendo 3DS Direct.” This showed off quite a few new 3DS games, some updates for some existing 3DS games, and some new hardware. We have broken down what was shown in the direct in the order in which it was showed in their stream so if you do not have time to watch the entire 40 minute video you can easily get all the news here!

After its announcement only a week ago the new streaming service offered by Sony, Playstation Now, has gone live as of today. This service allows players to stream over 400 Playstation 3 games directly to their Playstation 4, Windows PC, or Mac computers. The service is a $19.99 monthly fee, and is much like how Netflix and other streaming services operate. They have also offered a free 7 day trail, and an introductory offer that provides the service for the annual cost of $99.99.

Monster Hunter is a beloved series that has seen games on multiple platforms such as the PSP, 3DS, PS2, PC, and now the Playstation 4. The game has even been adapted to an online MMORPG which took the form of Monster Hunter Frontier.

Nintendo make an announcement today that they have added additional games to their “Nintendo Selects” line up, which have already made their way to stores and are available for purchase starting today. Nintendo Selects is their modern version of “greatest hits” which include games on the Nintendo Wii U, and 3DS. These new Wii U additions include The Legend of Zelda the Windwaker, Nintendo Land, and Lego City Undercover. While the new 3DS titles include Lego City Undercover, Tomodachi Life, Nintendogs + Cats, Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon, and Animal Crossing New Leaf. These titles are $20 brand new and sealed, and have a distinctive theme to the box art. While some of us collectors may not be a fan of this style of box art this also usually means that the original releases drop in price since more copies of the games are available.

Nintendo has done us yet another favor and added a significant number of games to their Nintendo Summer Savings sale! This time around it is taking the form of the Nindies Summer Jam which is adding a long list of indie games that are making their way to Nintendo platforms for the first time. Some of these you may already be familiar with such as Gurumin, Azure Striker Gunvolt 2, and Steam World Heist. These releases, just like the regular summer sale, are being put out on the Nintendo 3DS, and the Nintendo Wii U, which is a welcomed addition for Wii U fans who may be running out of games to play due to the lack of releases overall for the system. What makes this even better is that the first week that these games are available they will be an additional 10% off the listing price! We are pretty excited about a few of these such as Stardew Valley, and Gurumin 3D, but take a look at the full list of these new additions, and the official Nintendo released trailer, and let us know what you are going to get in the comment section below.

Final Fantasy XV is proving to be one of year’s biggest game releases. The sheer production value of this amazing looking game must be catastrophic. From its hyper realistic visuals, to the sheer size of the game, and now to the newly announced English voice actors for the game is supporting this assumption. The chosen English cast for this game is made up of many veterans who have had experience in other games, as well as on T.V. and other media platforms.
