A Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification is widely considered a valuable certification for project managers seeking to advance their careers. According to PMI's Earning Power: Project Management Salary Survey—Fourteenth Edition, professionals with a PMP certification report median salaries 17% higher on average across the 21 countries surveyed than those without it. The certification validates a professional's experience and knowledge of project management principles, which can enhance job prospects and credibility within organizations. #### What are the best certifications for project managers? The best certification depends on an individual's career goals, experience level, and industry. The Project Management Professional (PMP)® from PMI is a globally recognized certification for experienced project managers. For those newer to the field, PMI's Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® is a common starting point. Other notable certifications include those focused on agile methodologies, such as the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)®, and program management certifications like the Program Management Professional (PgMP)®. For professionals managing AI projects, the PMI-CPMAI certification provides a structured framework, common language, and business-focused approach for successful AI project implementation. #### How does PMI support career growth for professionals? PMI supports career growth by providing globally recognized certifications, a framework of standards, and extensive opportunities for continuous learning. Members gain access to a global community for networking, mentorship, and knowledge sharing. The organization also produces research and thought leadership on emerging trends, helping professionals stay current with skills in areas like AI, agile practices, and strategic business management. These resources are designed to help professionals at all levels enhance their skills and advance their careers. #### What is the PMBOK® Guide? The PMBOK® Guide, or A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, is PMI’s foundational guide to generally accepted project management knowledge and practice. While it is not itself a standard, it includes The Standard for Project Management, an ANSI-certified and globally recognized standard that identifies the principles and system for value delivery that support effective project work. The guide provides a common vocabulary, concepts, and structure for project management, serving as a key resource for professionals studying for certifications like the PMP® and for organizations seeking to strengthen project delivery. #### How is AI changing project management? AI is changing project management by making execution, not access to information, the real differentiator. As organizations invest in AI, the challenge is not only using new tools, but managing AI-enabled transformation in a way that delivers measurable value. Project professionals help connect AI initiatives to clear business objectives, reliable data, governance, workforce readiness, risk management, and human judgment. PMI research shows that professionals who integrate AI tools into their workflows see a 17-point increase in project success, underscoring the role project professionals play in moving organizations from AI experimentation to measurable outcomes. #### What are the most important skills for a project manager? Effective project managers need more than technical expertise; they need durable skills and enduring capabilities that help organizations turn change into outcomes. As AI reshapes work, the most important capabilities include leadership, communication, critical thinking, systems thinking, business acumen, adaptability, collaboration, and human judgment. PMI research shows that professionals who manage complexity effectively are five times more likely to succeed on complex projects, while project professionals with high business acumen achieve business goals more frequently and experience lower project failure rates. #### How can I get involved with the PMI community? Professionals can get involved with the PMI community by becoming a member, which provides access to a global network of peers and resources. Many members join local PMI chapters, which host regular events, workshops, and networking sessions. Online, PMI's projectmanagement.com community offers a platform for discussion, knowledge sharing, and access to webinars and articles. Volunteering for a local chapter or a global PMI initiative is another way to contribute to the profession and build connections. #### What is the difference between PMP and CAPM? The PMP (Project Management Professional)® and CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management)® are both certifications offered by PMI, but they target professionals at different career stages. The CAPM is an entry-level certification designed for individuals with little or no project experience, validating their understanding of fundamental project management knowledge and terminology. The PMP is for experienced project managers and requires a combination of formal education and years of documented project leadership experience, making it a more advanced and globally recognized certification. #### How does PMI support social impact? PMI supports social impact by helping individuals, nonprofits, NGOs, and communities use project management to turn purpose into measurable outcomes. Through the PMI Educational Foundation, PMI expands access to project management education for youth worldwide, including underserved and underrepresented populations. Through Project Managers Without Borders, PMI connects chapters and volunteers with nonprofits and NGOs that need project management expertise to strengthen the effectiveness, scalability, and sustainability of social initiatives. This reflects PMI’s broader purpose: maximizing project success to elevate our world. ### Sources * Project Management Institute | [pmi.org](/c/pmi-2026-q3/home?i=92ea5f10-84a6-423f-ad12-7cb763869fe3&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Earning Power: Project Management Salary Survey—Fourteenth Edition" | [pmi.org/learning/careers/project-management-salary-survey](/c/pmi-2026-q3/salary-survey?i=92ea5f10-84a6-423f-ad12-7cb763869fe3&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Global Project Management Talent Gap" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/global-project-management-talent-gap](/c/pmi-2026-q3/talent-gap?i=92ea5f10-84a6-423f-ad12-7cb763869fe3&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Maximizing Project Success" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/project-success?i=92ea5f10-84a6-423f-ad12-7cb763869fe3&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, “Pulse Report 2025: Boosting Business Acumen” | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/boosting-business-acumen](/c/pmi-2026-q3/business-acumen?i=92ea5f10-84a6-423f-ad12-7cb763869fe3&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, “Pulse of the Profession® 2026: Driving Success in Complex Projects” | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/driving-success-in-complex-projects](/c/pmi-2026-q3/complex-projects?i=92ea5f10-84a6-423f-ad12-7cb763869fe3&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, “Step Up: Redefining the Path to Project Success with M.O.R.E.” | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/path-to-project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/more-mindset?i=92ea5f10-84a6-423f-ad12-7cb763869fe3&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI Education Foundation, PMIEF 2024 Annual Report, [pmi.org PMIEF 2024 Annual Report (PDF)](/c/pmi-2026-q3/pmief-report?i=92ea5f10-84a6-423f-ad12-7cb763869fe3&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional) ## Video: Nintendo Direct 3.3.2016 [Watch (HLS stream): Nintendo Direct 3.3.2016](https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/xmE3v2gr.m3u8) (41:24)  _Published 2016-04-18.

(Check out [our review of the game here](http://time.com/4273526/quantum-break-review/).) PC, Xbox One April 5 ### Dark Souls III After last year’s tryst with a PlayStation-exclusive (_Bloodborne_), studio From Software returns to its multi-platform _Souls_ series roots for what’s either the fourth (counting _Demon’s Souls_) or fifth (counting _Bloodborne_) in a sequence of closely related, brutally exacting action games. PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One April 12 ### Ratchet & Clank A reboot of studio Insomniac Games’ buddy platformer about a Lombax (think bipedal cat) and his robot pal Clank battling intergalactic scoundrels, timed to celebrate the forthcoming film. PlayStation 4 April 12 ### Bravely Second: End Layer In the crowded, novelty bereft roleplaying genre, _Bravely First_‘s unusual borrow-or-save battle system stood out, so sequel _Bravely Second_ keeps all of that and carries on the story. 3DS April 15 ### Koi The first China-developed video game for PlayStation 4, _Koi_ looks a bit like _Flow_, or maybe the opening stage in _Spore_. You play as a fish in a polluted lotus pond, solving puzzles and collecting bits and bobs to remove the taint and restore harmony. PlayStation 4 April 19 ### Pollen It’s an alt-history sci-fi game (designed from the ground up for virtual reality) where Kennedy was never assassinated and NASA and Russia established a permanent moon base before expanding to the outer reaches of our solar system. In Mindfield’s _Pollen_, you explore the Saturnian satellite Titan, sleuthing for clues and solving puzzles to learn what hides beneath the moon’s surface. PC April 20 ### Battlefleet Gothic: Armada Fling capital ships the size of star destroyers at your foes in this epic-scale real-time strategy game staged in Games Workshop’s indefatigable _Warhammer 40,000_ universe. PC April 21 ### Star Fox Zero Delayed from last November for some extra polish, the newest installment in Nintendo’s longstanding space shooter about a squadron of chatty anthropomorphic animals has to win over Wii U GamePad skeptics nervous that having to fiddle with a second screen while pulling off precision maneuvers might be too much to juggle. Wii U April 22 ### Offworld Trading Company Developer Soren Johnson is probably best known for his design contributions to some of the most acclaimed _Civilization_ games, and of late he’s been chipping away at this much-praised (based on early access betas) economic real-time strategy game, where “money, not firepower, is the player’s weapon.” PC April 28 ### Battleborn Space fantasy _Battleborn_ is mostly a team-based first-person shooter, but with smaller groups (five versus five) and goals tied to map control logistics that might see a match swing back and forth repeatedly. PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One May 3 ### Stellaris Imagine all the crazy complexity of studio Paradox’s grand strategic history simulations extrapolated to the farthest reaches of space and you get _Stellaris_, a mind-bogglingly vast game of space exploration and empire management. PC May 9 ### Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End _Uncharted_ fans get one last chance to play as (and say farewell to) series protagonist Nathan Drake, in the fourth and final chapter in studio Naughty Dog’s acclaimed treasure-hunting series. PlayStation 4 May 10 ### Doom This reboot of id Software’s formative shooter welcomes us back to Mars by way of fiery foundry levels, long, steaming corridors garnished with hellfire, demons and screams, and all the evisceration-slash-spatter fans of horror-themed run-and-gunning adore. PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One May 13 ### Homefront: The Revolution The sequel to 2011 first-person shooter _Homefront_, which imagined what might happen if a unified Korea invaded the Western U.S., takes place four years later (in 2029) as you struggle to retake an open-world version of Philadelphia from the Greater Korean Republic. PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4, Xbox One May 17 ### Valkyria Chronicles Remastered If you missed this fantastic World War II-era turn-based tactics game when it landed on PlayStation 3 back in 2008, this is your chance to make amends by way of beautifully remastered, high fidelity visuals. PlayStation 4 May 17 ### Mirror’s Edge Catalyst _Mirror’s Edge Catalyst_ reboots EA DICE’s 2008 first-person parkour game, dealing with why original protagonist Faith became a surveillance-evading “runner,” delivering messages under the nose of her city’s dystopian overlords by zipping acrobatically (but surreptitiously) across urban skylines. PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One May 24 ### Overwatch Blizzard’s latest idea lets teams of six players shoot it out in a kind of post-_Terminator_ scenario, where our evil robot overlords have been defeated by a global peacekeeping force, but where the force’s remnants have apparently become factionalized. PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One May 24 ### Total War: Warhammer Does a franchise feel better suited to adaptation for Creative Assembly’s 16-year-old _Total War_ real-time tactical series than Games Workshop’s celebrated _Warhammer_ fantasy-verse? PC May 24 ### Hearts of Iron IV What might’ve happened had Japan opened up a second front when the Germans invaded Russia? What if Germany had acquired a nuclear bomb first? What if the Allied invasion of Normandy in 1944 had failed? Paradox’s newest all-around improved version in its series of award-winning World War 2 grand strategy games promises to let you find out. PC June 6 ### Kirby: Planet Robobot Leap between foreground and background as Nintendo’s pink puffball Kirby in the second full Kirby game for Nintendo’s handheld system, this time using the coopting the robotic technology of your foes to use against them. Nintendo 3DS June 10 ## Transcript [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ MUSIC ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] Hi everyone, Bill Trinen here from Nintendo to deliver some new information about upcoming games. You may think you know all about our 2016 lineup, but we have a few secrets left to reveal About some games you may have heard of. We'll begin with star fox zero. So let's kick it over to someone who knows all about shooting for the stars. Shigeru Miyamoto. [ FOREIGN ] Hi everyone I'm Shigeru Miyamoto. A game producer at Nintendo. I'm here today in New York City. It's 3 degrees fahrenheit outside, so it's very cold. I'm so sorry for keeping you waiting. Star Fox Zero is finally ready. We made this game to be an authentic action game. The kind I haven't worked on for a long time. It turned out to be the type of game where the more you practice the more fun it gets. The plot and the game structure are similar to the Star Fox on Nintendo 64, but the story and map structure here are completely new. This time there are teleporters that appear in the game. The teleporters play an important role in the story line and also have a big impact on the branching paths in the map. Now I'd like to talk about a stage that we haven't shown yet. This is Fortuna. It's packed with dangerous bioweapons and will prove pretty challenging, so enjoy going up against all new enemies. Some pretty giant ones, too. [ MUSIC ] There are also a lot of alternate paths in the maps. You can see this looks like the Corneria stage at first, but there's actually a branch in the path on the right. When you take this path, it leads to a new level. If you go through here, you'll be confronted by a never- before- seen boss. This boss is also worth defeating, and once you win, you'll be taken back to the map, where even more paths will open up. Just like that, Starfox Zero is a game, but once you defeat Venom in normal mode, many new and alternate paths will appear. As you explore this different paths, you'll encounter Starwolf and his 4 man team. They'll provide a really tough challenge. They player can use the new target mode and various maneuvers and other new attack strategies to battle Starwolf throughout the game. Special delivery, pigma bomb. The goal you are shooting for is Venom and Andros, but of course the game play is completely new. On the way you will realize there are multiple paths available for you to reach the final destination. Please try it out for yourselves to see how many paths there are. [ MUSIC ] There's also a two player mode. One player can fly the r- wing while the other player aims and shoots. You can play this way cooperating with your friends and aim for high scores. Or you can get together with your family and just have fun clearing each level. Now, to those who have the Smash Brothers Fox Amiibo, yes, you can use it. With it you'll be able to play with the R- Wing, from the classic super NES game, and there might even be some other bonuses waiting for you. I hope you try it out. One more thing, I want to talk to you about a new game. Some of you may remember I showed a game to E3. Three years ago that was called project guard. This game is now complete and is called Starfox Guard. Slippy's uncle Grippy is busy with the job of gathering rare metals in space but is under attack from all kinds of enemies. In this game you use Slippy's newly invented security system to ward off these enemies. The player uses twelve cameras, setting them up in various places to find and attack the enemies to protect the mining site. There are about 100 missions to play. But that's not all. You can also edit the placement of enemies, and then you can upload these enemy patterns online so others can play them. You can play other player's creations. Or have others play yours to earn precious metals. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] I hope you'll play Star Fox Guard with people from all around the world. Get good at changing those cameras. Speaking of changing cameras, let's switch it back over to Bill. Thanks, Mister Miyamoto. I'm happy to announce that both games, Star Fox Zero and Star Fox Guard, will come packaged together as a set. Those who purchase the digital versions can buy them separately at Nintendo eShop Or buy both games for the same total price as the packaged bundle. StarFox Zero and StarFox Guard both launch on April 22nd, 2016. It's about time you showed up Fox, you're the only hope for our world. You know there's another Wii U game that's received a number of updates and I think its fans may want in on a little Secret. It ain't over yet for Splatoon. First, we'll be releasing an update that aims to balance some of the gear abilities and address various systems in the game such as match making. For gear, these changes will improve some of the lesser used abilities to make them more appealing Additionally we'll be making some changes to match making and team assignments for ranked battle and adding a couple of elements to the Splatfests to improve the overall user experience. This first update will be released next week on March 8th. The second update we have planned will pertain mostly to weapons in the game. In the game. In addition to adjusting some already existing weapons, we'll be adding new weapon set recommendations. These combinations will feature a selection of some of the most popular and underappreciated weapons chosen by the owner of Ammo Knights himself, Sheldon. We'll be dividing this update into 2 parts, and the first will be arriving in April We'll also be releasing information about these updates on our website and by our official channels, so make sure to check it out. Next, a [ INAUDIBLE ] game you're all expecting that comes with some unexpected twists. Here's part of the opening movie in Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic games. [ MUSIC ] [ APPLAUSE ] [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] [ APPLAUSE ] [ MUSIC ] [ SOUND ] [ MUSIC ] [ APPLAUSE ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] A new event is making its debut in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, rugby sevens, and it's a lot of fun. It's also a series first, as is rhythmic gymnastics club. Not to mention every olympic games event in the game takes place in venues modeled after the actual venus in Rio. Mario and sonic at the Rio 2016 olympic games launches on wii u June 24th. We'll keep you updated on the other events and more game details down the line. We'll get back to more wii you games in just a sec But remember that you'll first get a change to earn your place on the podium besides two gaming powerhouses in Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games launches on the Nintendo 3DS system March [ UNKNOWN ] Next, let's see what's new in Super Mario Maker. It's been about six months since the game arrived on Wii U and players around the world continue to upload exciting new courses every day. In fact, there are more than 6. 2 million courses for players to jump into at this very moment. Since launch, we've added new course elements on two separate occasions. And here we go again. It's update time. Now when you shake a [ UNKNOWN ] it'll transform into a skewer from Super Mario World. [ UNKNOWN ] were already pretty beefy, but these are an even bigger pain In a good way. Also, when you shake a p switch it will turn into a key plus shaking a door will now make it a key door. Yep, you guessed it, can't open one of those without a key. Hide one in a bar or make an enemy hold one and you can make levels where you can't advance without a key. Which means you can now make courses with mandatory boss battles. Yeah. And if you shake a coin, it'll change into a pink coin. Collect them all and a key will appear. That way, you can make an adventurous level where you have to find all the pink coins to win. These new course elements definitely expand your puzzle- making horizons We're also adding new elements to online play. The update will let you play 100 Mario Challenge on a new Super Expert mode. It'll unlock after clearing Expert mode and it'll dish out a volley of six extremely tough levels for you to beat with 100 Mario's. Your prize for winning? New Mystery Mushroom costume. Snips. So even if you think you have them all, gives this new mode a try, and see if you can get them all. Additionally, the Super Mario maker bookmark site will see additions such as ranking categories for world records, and the number of first clears on courses. Inspiring new ways to create and play in the main game. This new update will be available for download on March 9th. Sometimes one of the best parts of an RPG is its style. And no one understands that quite like Atlus, the makers of this next WiiU game. Tokyo Mirage Sessions # FE is a brand new IP that takes inspiration from Atlus' own title, And the fire emblem series. It's an energetic fusion of the deep RPG game play you'd expect from an atlas game, a nd the adrenaline fueled fun of a huge pop idol concert. Every inch oozes style, from the in game music videos and commercials, To the got new tracks from AVAX, the company behind some of the biggest pop stars in Japan. And speaking of, the game is based in Japan so we're keeping its original VO track and adding in English subtitles. [ FOREIGN ] [ MUSIC ] If you consider yourself a JRPG fan Or just someone daring enough to try something new? Look no further. Your summer is now complete. Tokyo Mirage Sessions # FE will arrive stateside June 24th. You may remember this next title from Nintendo Direct last year. Lost Reavers is Bandai Namco's latest free to play, online. And co- op action game. Team up with other adventurers online to fight zombies and solve puzzles as you search for valuable treasure in the most diverse locations on the planet. You'll need the wits to solve puzzles, the expertise to kill bosses and the firepower to fight legions of undead guard. Acquire treasure and successfully make your way back to complete the mission and receive your share of the spoils. As you go on missions, characters will level up, unlock more skills, and increase their funds so you can acquire new weapons. Each map also has a variety of different routes, puzzles, and enemy spawn So levels can be played and enjoyed multiple times. You can look forward to playing Lost Reavers in the open beta version coming soon to Wii U. [ MUSIC ] Next let's paint the town red, and just about every other color. In the Paper Mario series we always challenge ourselves to bring something fresh to the action adventure genre. And this time in Paper Mario Splash The theme is colors and paint. As such, the game takes place in a colorful paradise called Prism Island. But something is very wrong. Prism Island is being drained of its color. To make sense of all this it's up to Paper Mario to do like he does Was sent off on a journey to bring color back to the land. And his new paint hammer is just the ticket, it splashes paint on anything he hits, restoring the island's color bit by bit. He can even splash on colorless toads to revive Guys. A splash of color will even liven up a toad house. In battle you'll paint cards like this and then flick them to start the battle. There are special cards too, they'll unleash the satisfyingly powerful task. The latest entry in this beloved series Paper Mario Color Splash. Is currently planned for release in 2016. Pikachu, [ UNKNOWN ] the Champ, [ UNKNOWN ] and many more of your favorite Pokemon are about to face off in Pokken Tournament for WiiU. In the [ UNKNOWN ] league, players will start at the bottom tier facing off against relatively easy opponents But as you move up in the ranks you'll encounter skilled opponents worthy of your absolute best. Winning a fight in any mode earns in game currency that allows you to change the appearance of your avatar. Battles will require quick reflexes and the ability to read your opponent. Some Pokemon are fast and can use their speed to rush in and deal damage. Other Pokemon rely on their brute power to dominate the competition. Each main battle Pokemon and pairing of support Pokemon change the way you approach the fight. So find your favorite combination to suit your play style. The help you determine which Pokemon you should try first, here's a few highlights of main battle Pokemon Lucario uses powerful aura based attacks to create attacking projectiles from far away. After activating burst attack mode, Lucario can unleash a massive beam of aura energy to get back into the battle, or to finish it off. [ MUSIC ] Machamp capitalizes on brute strength by rapid fire punches, damaging throws, and more to send opponents reeling. This Pokemon is a real heavy hitter and a force to be reckoned with when up close and personal. Last but not least, Gengar pulls out every trick in the book to keep opponents guessing.

To see the full length trailer of this collaboration head over to twitter. com / monsterhunter. Monster Hunter Generations will be available on Nintendo 3DS in Summer 2016. At E3, there was one game we introduced that left fans with some questions. Today, Kensuke Tanabe, the producer of the Metroid Prime series is here to help you understand how Metroid Prime Federation Force will become an integral part of the Metroid Prime universe. Tanabe- san? Hello, everyone. I'm Kensuke Tanabe. I started from the Game Cube version. So it's about 15 years since I first began to producer the metroid prime series. Today, I want to introduce you to the newest installment in the metroid prime series, metroid prime federation force. Being a new title in a series we deeply love. As the development team reapproach it with great passion and effort. Development on this game started in 2009. At that time, we started the idea of developing a new online multiplayer Metroid Prime title for a handheld system. [ MUSIC ] Early experiments began in collaboration with our [ UNKNOWN ] partners at Next Level Games, who I had worked with on Mario Strikers for GameCube and on Punch- Put for Wii. We kicked off official development with them But at that point we were working on the Nintendo DSI and with the DSI it became clear that we wouldn't be able to achieve the type of performance fans would expect. When we saw the new Nintendo 3DS a few years later, for one thing, we knew that the 3DS would address our performance Issues. And we were also excited about the expanded control options provided by the c- stick. At that point, we decided to restart the project. We wanted to use this new game to tell the story between the Galactic Federation and the space pirates. I had always imagined battles between these two within the universe. But we had never really explored that in the previous games. I'd been wanting to do it for over 10 years, so I was ready and excited to try. But given the focus on the Galactic Federation and Space Pirate battle, while Samus would appear in the story, it meant that she couldn't be the main player character this This time. So using the Galactic Federation soldiers as the main characters, was the natural course of action for this game. Another theme that we wanted to add to the game system was the idea, like an RPG. Of players having the ability to choose their own distinct roles in the game, like a healer, a warrior, a mage. And so on. You receive certain types of sub- weapons from the federation in each mission, and players must divide them among themselves based on a weight limit before taking them on a mission. So, for example, if you carry a lot of repair capsules, then that player becomes a sort of healer in. In the game. And if you take on all of the missiles, then you become a warrior. I would love to explain more about that aspect today, about the character's art style. And why we created blast fall, and so on. But let's save that for another time. What I can say for sure, is the [ UNKNOWN ] Prime Federation Is a game that absolutely belongs in the Metroid universe. That, I promise. Please take a look at this video. Samus Aaron's solitary war on the space pirates terminated their phazon experiments on metroids. But the galaxy is not at, Recognizing a need to combat the space pirate menace the Galactic Federation launched Project Golem, a top secret program to develop mechanized battle armor based on the technology in Samus Aaron's power suit. The most elite members of the galactic marines were chosen and put through intense training to form what would become The federation force. [ MUSIC ] Their first mission is to survey the three planet Bermuda System and reclaim an abandoned federation outpost on the resource rich planet, Excelcion which was devastated by a meteor crash 20 years ago. Plunging it into an ice age. [ SOUND ] On Excellcia all that stood int he way were meer Ice Hoppers, but then the team came face to face with a well known threat they weren't expecting, space pirates. Now the only way to survive is to work as a team. [ INAUDIBLE ] to master their mechs and to take down the space pirates against all odds. [ SOUND ] The mission isn't over yet. [ SOUND ] [ SOUND ] Stay tuned for more information on this next chapter in the Metroid prime universe. We'll also be hosting several hands on opportunities, starting with WonderCon in late March. So I hope you'll try the game out for yourself. Metroid Prime Federation Force releases on Nintendo 3DS Systems late spring 2016. Next I'd like to announce a game that combines some great selections from some great games. Rhythm Heaven on Nintendo DS, Rhythm Heaven Fever in Wii and more. Introducing Rhythm Heaven Megamix which will be coming to North America this year.

Now let's take a look at one last game, it has a lot of my co- workers tickled pink. Kirby is headed back to the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, this time invaders have mechanized Dream Land. To restore his home to its original form, Kirby must rise up. At first, the game may look familiar. The pink puff will travel through stages by jumping back and forth between the foreground and background while using more than 25 copy abilities. Of course, there will be new copy abilities. But here's the kicker, in this game Kirby will use his new enemies tech against them. [ MUSIC ] His robobot armor is extremely strong to the point where it can actually destroy obstacles that stand in Kirby's way. And taking a page from Kirby himself, the robobot armor can copy enemy abilities and use powerful modified versions Of them called modes. The robobot armor can use more than ten modes. No matter what, Kirby and his robobot armor will deliver two types of action for twice the fun. There's also a separate mode include in this game called Team Kirby Clash. It lets up to four players join forces to battle against powerful bosses. [ MUSIC ] You'll select one of four roles and participate in a co- op quest to defeat a boss. Supporting your team by utilizing each role's abilities is the key to victory. While you play you'll find tablets, and if you collect them all your team can activate a powerful team meteor To inflict major damage. For the first time in a Kirby game, when you complete a quest you'll gain experience points. And as you level up your abilities will grow more powerful, that way you can take on more difficult quests. Team Kirby Clash is available for download play as well, so you can play with friends Don't have the game yet or you can play alone with sidekicks. [ SOUND ] In addition, this title is compatible with Amibo. Tap them to give Kirby copy abilities in the game. [ SOUND ] Some amibo will even give you character specific abilities.
