Nintendo Announces PAX Prime Game Lineup
In addition to a panel featuring The Wonderful 101 creative director Hideki Kamiya, Nintendo's presence at PAX Prime 2013 will offer attendees a wide array of Wii U and 3DS titles to try out.
Nintendo will be hosting a PAX panel entitled "Inside The Wonderful 101 With Hideki Kamiya," which will take place at 5:00PM on Sunday, Sept. 1, during which the Platinum Games creative director will take about his vision for the game. However, we're guessing PAX attendees will be more excited by the lineup of playable games Nintendo has planned for the show. In addition to offering convention goers hands-on time with Pokémon X & Y, Nintendo is also showing off Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, and much more.

Game Informer will have several editors attending PAX Prime, so be sure come back for hands-on impressions from the show floor.
Our Take
Nintendo was criticized for its lackluster
approach to E3, but the company knows how to do PAX right. Not only will
Nintendo be showing off a great lineup of games, but they'll be playable for
the public – a perfect way for the company to express its gratitude to longtime
fans.
