Nintendo has revealed its exhibition line up for the 2011 rAge gaming and consumer electronics expo, which is taking place from 30 September to 2 October at The Coca-Cola Dome in Northgate, Johannesburg.
Preview Games for the 3DS
Mario Kart 7 will be available on 2 December and will include a new optional first-person driving mode that is controlled using the gyro sensor. The game also introduces new playable characters like Lakitu and Metal Mario, and a tricks system like the one in Mario Kart Wii.
Super Mario 3D Land is a new Mario game due for release on 18 November. It is a 3D Mario platforming adventure. Players can scout levels and find secrets before they play using the built-in gyro sensor of the Nintendo 3DS system. The game will also feature propeller blocks and will have StreetPass functionality.
Kid Icarus: Uprising is follow-up to the NES classic, and will feature stereoscopic 3D and features both air-and ground-based combat against a range of enemies.
Gamers will also get a first hand look at Resident Evil Revelations and Metal Gear Solid 3D.
Other attractions include the just-released graphically re-mastered StarFox 64 3D as well as Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, which were released earlier this year.
Preview Games for the Wii
The next instalment of The Legend of Zelda franchise – now celebrating 25 years – comes exclusively to Wii.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword launches on 18 November. Expo visitors will at rAge get a chance to guide Link on his journey. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword lays the foundation for the events in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and allows players to use MotionPlus technology for sword combat for the first time in a Zelda game.
Go Vacation Wii, which is available later this year, will be on show. Players can unlock 50 varying activities ranging in category from sports simulations to dance-based challenges either in single player or multiplayer mode.
