Natsume, the company behind the Harvest Moon series which has graced numerous platforms, announced that they would be showing off three new Nintendo titles at E3.

Arkham Knight Delayed into 2015
If you were hoping for a Batman-themed Christmas, you might now need to change your plans. The Bat's latest adventure, Arkham Knight, has been delayed into 2015. Rocksteady confirmed the delay last month, under embargo, and today that embargo is up.
Mario Kart 8 an Instant Success
Nintendo has an instant hit on their hands, and I'm pretty sure they - and everyone else for that matter - knew it before the game even launched. Opening weekend sales topped 1.2 million units. These numbers should not really be that surprising. After all, not only was Mario Kart 8 one of the most anticipated games of this generation, but there was also that amazing Club Nintendo promotion which gave those who registered Mario Kart 8 a free copy of another popular, Nintendo title. These titles varied by geographical location, but they all made purchasing Mario Kart 8 worth it.
Mortal Kombat X Announced
Warner Brothers have today announced the next entry in the Mortal Kombat series.

Thankfully, we won't have to wait long to find out, with details due to come out during E3.

Dark Souls is June’s free game on Xbox Live!
For the past year (and a bit), Microsoft has offered an incentive for Xbox users to sign up to Xbox Live Gold by offering a monthly free game to all those with a Gold subscription. Obviously this is a clever move by Microsoft, as not only is it a good way to advertise, but also a fantastic way to make consumers spend more money on additional DLC and game content offered on the Xbox Live Marketplace.
What We Could See, Will See, and Won’t See for Wii U at E3 2014
E3 is approaching fast, and with only a little over a week until day 1, I decided I should get my Nintendo E3 predictions out there. Be warned: I have not canvassed the Internet to find what Nintendo is for sure announcing, and I definitely did not attempt to pass off the predictions of others as my own.
