It's that time of the year where the video game industry goes absolutely bonkers for a few days and unveils a ton of new information about upcoming games for various systems and devices. In true keeping with this tradition, Nintendo of America has uploaded a shed-load of new trailers for previously announced Wii U and 3DS games.
Being the good folks that we are, we've embedded all of these in one place below for your benefit - so why not take a look and see what you've got to look forward to?
Upper Byte's action-platformer tasks you with ninja-ing your way through a fantasy Far Eastern-themed world.
Chromophore: The Two Brothers Director's Cut (Wii U eShop)
Having undergone a slight name change, Chromophore: Two Brothers Director's Cut is a nostalgic retread of the action-adventure/role-playing genres and sports a Game Boy aesthetic.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carnival (3DS)
Popular characters from the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise battle it out in the card-based role-playing game.
A puzzle-adventure game in which you use a range of wacky inventions to combat enemies and solve puzzles. There are in fact two new trailers for you to feast your eyes on.
A puzzle-platformer with a dark and twisted setting. Problem-solving and defeating bosses are the key to helping protagonist Born escape from an inevitable curse.
STARWAHL: Just the Tip (Wii U eShop)
Quite possibly the weirdest game in the list, STARWAHL: Just the Tip can essentially be described as a game about neon-magical dolphins that joust one another to death. Up to four players can join in the madness.
A sequel to the popular puzzle title on the 3DS eShop, which blends Picross-style puzzles with a fresh twist. This edition will include over 100 puzzles and a new zoom option.
Pier Solar and the Great Architects (Wii U eShop)
Previously known as Pier Solar HD, this game offers a JRPG experience and sports a traditional top-down 2D design.
Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth (3DS)
The first Persona game on a Nintendo console, this RPG has a new visual style that's unusually funky. The game will incorporate gameplay elements from the popular Etrian series.
PAC-MAN and the Ghostly Adventures 2 (Wii U)
Based on the popular children's TV series, PAC-MAN and the Ghostly Adventures 2 sees the popular pill-popper and his gang of chums set off in a new action-platforming adventure.
One Piece Unlimited World Red (Wii U)
A continuation of the popular Japanese series in which Luffy and the gang set off on a new adventure.
A hybrid of tower defence and real-time strategy, Cubemen 2 promises online multiplayer across multiple systems.
Citizens of Earth (Wii U eShop)
Top town 2D adventure RPG where you play as Vice-President of the World. As per all career politicians, you must use your charisma and negotiating skills to get ordinary people to fight your battles for you.
In this action game you must guide a small rolling creature through a series of hazardous mazes containing some puzzle-lite elements.
Defend your burrow from a horde of evil bunnies in this unusually violent animal-based fixed first-person shooter.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy (3DS eShop)
Experience the original trilogy, starring everyone's favourite blue-suited defender of justice, in this remastered edition exclusively for 3DS eShop.
A crazy single-screen platformer which resembles Mario. Bros in the gameplay department.
Already available on mobile devices, Nyamyam virtual pop-up book for a game will be appearing on Wii U later this year.

Trailers galore!
Whoa!
Give me Armillo and Teslagrad!
That's a large list.
I'm hoping this means they have many announcement tomorrow. And that lack of Nintendo directs makes me think that.
@shigulicious
Just Armillo for me.
Maybe Tengami. Price dependant.
Persona Q is really the only one that catches my interest here. We've seen most of these before also...
Them are some good looking games. look for that bunny game to be GOTY!!!
Some fun looking games there.
Holy crap, that's a TON of games!
Teslagard and Pier Solar got my attention.
I thought Nintendo's showcasing didn't start till tomorrow??
STARWAHL looks awesome to me for some reason lol.
Teslagrad looks sooo good! Persona Q will also be mine. More look interesting but I'll wait till they get released and reviewed.
Looking good!
Whoa, hoping this is Nintendo getting all the old stuff out of the way so they can show the new stuff and the more highly anticipated stuff.
Oddworld New n' Tasty!
Woah. If they have this much stuff to reveal today, then what's left for tomorrow?
My body is Reggie for the upcoming storm of news from Nintendo.
@AVahne This. It would be boring if 40% of E3 would be these games (that IDRC about.)
Starwhal and One Piece are my picks. Starwhal seems like a really frantic multiplayer game and One Piece seems to be a combination of Monster Hunter and Castle Crashers. Colour me excited.
Chromophore, Pier Solar and Tengami will all be bought day 1.
I'm too exited for Yu gi oh! zexal WDC I was awaiting for a localization for ages !
armillo, tengami and persona Q looks interesting also .
Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth LOOKS AWESOME! The soundtrack for the trailer is superb!
@Emblem You can play a demo of Starwhal here: http://www.starwhal.com.
And this doesn't even cover the whole first-party retail releases.
This is gonna be a good E3.
Chronosphere looks really beautifull, but I'm still holding out for PierSolar!
The rest didn't really catch me.
Most of them look amazing, but:
A.N.N.E (not in this list, don't miss it)
Tesla
Citizens
Pier Solar
Are absolutely must have games for me
Two Brothers still looks like it needs some work on a technical level, and the autotune song was grating (and I like autotune when done well). Shame, since I'm really digging the look of it, and the story has potential.
Teslagrad looks awesome as always, Just wish they had some sort of date set for it...
Pier Solar Looks cool, and I really do hope the HD version irons out the flaws of the Genesis version.
Persona Q Has me excited, of course.
Citzens of Earth...showed off the old trailer...it's a good one, though.
Phoenix Wright Trilogy Looks great, I can't wait to play it!
Tengami Looks more interesting every time I see it.
No mention of Flipnote?
...Guess not.
I like this Tengami game... Hmm!
lovely. Seem like a lot of console exclusives for Nintendo. eShop looking rad.
Bah ID filler games, sorry pass I want real developers games not this 5th party junk most of this games also came out for other systems!
seriously lots of games on e shop so either release a mk2 with built in hdd or a totally crazy suggestion an official hdd with some games pre installed or with a DL Code.
My picks: Teslagrad, Nihilumbra, Tengami, Phoenix Wright trilogy and Pier Solar.
In the maybe column, Two brothers and Persona Q. The rest don't interest me even a bit.
Too bad exclusives don't abound. Or even first on WiiU/3DS.
I'm liking Nihilumbra.
@Sforzando :-l
Looking forward to Starwhals and One Piece.
Use to be excited for Two Brothers but I've heard the PC version at least has a lot of problems. I'll wait for a review.
pier solar, nihilumbra, teslagrad and tengami just look amazing
Persona Q = HYPEHYPEHYPE!
Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal and Armillo also look pretty neat.
I'd so get Pier Solar if I had a Wii U.
Citizens of Earth and Persona Q look nifty too. (The narwhal game looks bonkers)
Of course Ace Attorney too, but I already have the games.
Three words - Pheonix Wright Trilogy.
That is all.
Also, Citizens of Earth seems interesting.
tengami,teslegrad,nihilumbra, are absolutely gorgeous and citizens of earth looks hilarious. Now cubemen 2 cant wait for that game.
Extremely excited for these. The quality of titles on the eshop justifies a Wii U purchase to be honest.
Just the Tip!? LOL.
The Bunny shooting game sonunds interesting. Raymond and the Raving Rabbids had a mode where you shot rabbid rabbits with a plunger gun. The idea of an FPS featuring killing bunnies sounds like a perfect balance between sadistic and hilareous.
How is the Phoenix Wright Trilogy exclusively remastered for 3DS? Isn't it just using the sprites from the HD iOS version? Or is it including just a touch of 3D too?
Persona Q and One Piece Unlimited Red for me. They be the obvious choices people should really look at those trailers again.
Phoenix Wright looks to be good!
I hope they don't show off too much of this tomorrow, oh dear... This would take too much time away from the big guns.
Yu-Gi-Oh and Cubemen 2 are the 2 biggest games for me on that list. And Pier Solar. Lots of good vareity, many genres covered for many types of gamers.
Teslagrad, Pier Solar and Citizens of Earth have my attention.
@DarkCoolEdge I second all of your picks.
Nothing interesting on 3DS...
Wooden sen sey, tislagrad, pier solar and pac man 2 are very tempting. That starwahl, though, seems like something that could really catch on...
Nintendo is about to drop the atomic bomb today. They will come out guns blazing with huge titles coming forth! The return of the King is now.
Mostly decent for a bunch of indie eShop titles.
I'm excited for a lot of these but the Phoenix Wright trilogy is my most anticipated. I would like release windows for everything though, a lot of these indie games have been shown off for way too long with no release dates.
Citizens of Earth has me intrigued.
Looks like it borrows quite a bit of tone and play-style from Earthbound, but with a satirical twist to it.
Oh, yeah. I totally forgot about Wooden Sen'Sey.
Teslagrad, Nihilumbra, and Tengami have held my interest since I first laid eyes on them.
Speaking of, that isn't a new trailer for Nihilumbra. That one's been around. I've watched it enough times to know.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy looks simply amazing. May pick it up (don't own any of the original). But I have to mention Woah Dave! What the heck? Woah Block (Pow Block), coins, jumping around, it's just too similair. But it looks a lot of fun. I can't describe it, but I love it and hate it at the same time.
