Heading to PAX Prime? Then you’ll be among the first to play games like Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, and many more. I went to PAX East this spring and really enjoyed getting a chance to play the 3DS before it was on sale. In fact, that play time confirmed my purchase and got me to buy one for my wife, too.

So is anyone heading to PAX Prime this year? Check out the list of titles past the break.

I attended the Penny Arcade Expo at the Convention Center in Seattle for the second year in a row, booth babin’ it up for Fugazo, a Seattle area developer promoting their new WiiWare title, Frobot. So I had to spend most of the two days that I attended firmly tethered to the booth and shooting manic smiles at wandering attendees, but in the spare time that I did have, I made a beeline for Nintendo’s booth. Impressions below!

Their booth number is 352, and according to the info I just received, they will be bringing a bunch of games. That includes a brand new WiiWare title called Fluidity.

Fluidity combines an amazing physics engine that realistically models flowing water with innovative puzzle game play. Using the three forms of water – liquid, ice and cloud – players will solve challenging puzzles across multiple chapters of an illustrated magical book called Aquaticus.

If Fluidity doesn’t sound like your type of game, they’re also bringing along Donkey Kong Country Returns, Kirby’s Epic Yarn, GoldenEye 007, NBA Jam, and of course Metroid: Other M.

So if anyone going to PAX out on the west coast plays any of these games. Be sure to send us a e-mail with your impression on them!

While touring the PAX East exhibition floor, we had the pleasure of seeing two amazing games destined for much success: Limbo and Puzzle Quest 2. David labeled PQ2 a must buy that’s all but pre-ordered for his DS Lite, while I couldn’t stop gushing over Limbo, a simple black and white Xbox Live Arcade 2D platformer that deals in nothing but light, shadow and a pair of beady white eyes (pictured).

If you’re in town tonight before PAX East kicks off, you should stop by and meet up with some folks from Infendo!  We’re going to be at McGreevy’s, across the street [map] from the Hynes Convention Center, at 7PM on Thursday, 3/25.  Just stop in at McGreevy’s and look for a table with Yoshi on it! The hula-girl will not be making an appearance, sorry.

This is only for people over 21 years of age.  And if you tell me (David) that “Infendo sent me”, he might even buy you a round!

You should really follow us on Twitter, too, since we’ll be posting updates there on the fly and all weekend long.
