Was Battalion Wars 2 even mentioned at E3?! I smell a GameCube port with shoe-horned, semi-broken online play, which would be a shame. OK, so that’s not entirely accurate. But still, why no love at E3 — the game is scheduled for October!
And what’s with Professor Layton? Everyone and their Nintendog is talking about it. Am I missing something?
