Great Scott! Doc and Marty are in the LEGO CUUSOO DeLorean set!

Are you ready for this? Doc and Marty LEGO Minifigures will be in the DeLorean Time Machine LEGO CUUSOO set! Also, the DeLorean can be easily modified into three versions that represent the three BTTF films!

I still think this model of the DeLorean is pretty ugly, but Doc and Marty Minifigs make everything better.

Looks like the price will be in the $50-$60 range. As I noted before, it’ll be releasing July 18th.

First image of Back to the Future DeLorean Time Machine LEGO CUUSOO set

We now have the first image of the LEGO Back to the Future CUUSOO DeLorean Time Machine set.

I must say, the model seems incredibly messy. I find the original project design, while not perfect, to be much better at a glance. No word yet if the set will include Minifigures.

According to this store newsletter, the release date is July 18th. Considering the 18th is the first day of Comic-Con, I can’t imagine it being a coincidence.

Official Teaser Trailer for The LEGO Movie

Warner Bros. just released the first trailer for The LEGO Movie, which is coming in 2014. I wasn’t sure what to expect when LEGO announced that they were making a film. Now that I have a general idea I certainly have high hopes!

Also WOW, what a cast!

Nintendo at E3 2013 Wrap-up

As another E3 draws to a close let’s take a look at some of the coolest things Nintendo announced over the week.

• Super Mario 3D World
• Mario Kart 8
• Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
• Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
• The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
• Mario and Luigi: Dream Team
• Yoshi’s New Island

Of course, there were plenty of other games Nintendo announced/announced more information on, such as Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD, and Bayonetta 2, but either the announcements weren’t as major or, as in the case of Bayonetta 2, I’m just not very interested in the game.

I’d like to point out a trend here. For the most part, Nintendo is getting really lazy with their game titles. Super Mario 3D World? Mario Kart 8? Yoshi’s New Island? All really boring. The crowning jewel though? The Smash Bros. games: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Those are the real titles. Seriously Nintendo? That’s the best you can think of? In fact, I’d like to go on record that the sales for the Wii U would, undoubtedly, been stronger had the name been unique. There is still confusion that the Wii U is just an updated Wii and not a totally new system.

Overall I think Nintendo had a very strong showing at E3 with a LOT of their major titles, many of which I can’t wait to get my hands on.

You can watch the E3 Nintendo Direct here.

Yoshi’s New Island trailer from E3

Nintendo brought out a new trailer for Yoshi’s New Island at E3 this year.

The game will be releasing in 2014, so we have some time to practice our Yoshi riding skills.

New Mario and Luigi: Dream Team trailer from E3

Nintendo released a brand new trailer for the Mario RPG 3DS game, Mario and Luigi: Dream Team, at E3 this year.

The game will be releasing August 11th. I can’t wait to sink my teeth into a new Mario and Luigi RPG!

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds uncovered further at E3

At E3, Nintendo showed off some more of the previously untitled original Zelda game for the 3DS, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds will be released this November.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze revealed

At E3 this year Nintendo announced Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for Wii U.

The game is built in the same style as Donkey Kong Country Returns, but once again, with gorgeous HD visuals that really let you get a good look at those fuzzy monkeys.

This time, in addition to Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong is going to be a playable character! You can now wield her ponytail of epicness!

The game is releasing this November. Are you excited?
