NINTENDO REVEALS LAUNCH-DAY LINEUP OF 18 NINTENDO 3DS GAMES

With More Than 30 Games Total Launching by Early June, There's Something for Everyone


REDMOND, Wash., Feb. 22, 2011 – On day one, new Nintendo 3DS™ owners will have plenty of video games to keep them busy. Nintendo and its third-party publishing partners have made sure that people who buy a system on March 27 will be able to choose from a variety of experiences that leverage the system's new features. A steady and diverse stream of games of all kinds will keep the fun going, with more than 30 Nintendo 3DS games total launching before the E3 Expo in early June.

"Seeing 3D visuals without the need for special glasses is just one aspect of Nintendo 3DS," said Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. "The real test of any system is whether the games and applications draw you in and keep you engaged. Through the launch window and beyond, Nintendo 3DS delivers."

On March 27, new Nintendo 3DS owners will be able to choose from the following Nintendo-published games, each available at a suggested retail price of $39.99:
Pilotwings Resort™, an aerial adventure featuring airplanes, hang gliders and rocket belts. Players soar above tropical Wuhu Island in 3D as they complete missions or snap pictures.
Steel Diver™, a submarine game that involves strategy and combat. The 3D visuals give players the sensation that they are looking into a miniature aquarium as they control the sub's speed, depth and pitch, and fire torpedoes.
nintendogs™ + cats, a game that lets players interact with realistic puppies – and kittens – in a variety of fun ways. There are three versions of the software, each with different starting breeds: French bulldog, toy poodle and golden retriever. But in each version players can unlock and enjoy more than 20 different breeds.

Other Nintendo 3DS games in the works for 2011 from Nintendo include The Legend of Zelda™: Ocarina of Time™ 3D, Star Fox 64™ 3D, Kid Icarus™: Uprising and new installments in the Mario Kart™ series.

Third-party publishers also have a strong slate of games ready to go on March 27. These include:
Super Street Fighter® IV 3D Edition from CAPCOM
The Sims™ 3 from EA
Madden NFL Football from EA SPORTS
Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 3D from Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.
LEGO® Star Wars® III: The Clone Wars™ from LucasArts™
RIDGE RACER® 3D from NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc.
Super Monkey Ball™ 3D from SEGA
BUST-A-MOVE UNIVERSE™ from Square-Enix, Inc.
SAMURAI WARRIORS®: Chronicles from TECMO KOEI AMERICA Corp.
Asphalt™ 3D from UBISOFT
Combat of Giants™: Dinosaurs 3D from UBISOFT
Rayman® 3D from UBISOFT
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon® Shadow Wars from UBISOFT

Nintendo 3DS also comes pre-loaded with a variety of fun games, applications and features, such as the Nintendo 3DS camera, which can be used to take photos in 2D and 3D as well as be used in other games and applications. For instance, the built-in Face Raiders™ game asks users to shoot at funny depictions of their own photographed faces, while the Mii Maker™ application lets gamers use the camera to take a picture of a person and have an automatic Mii™ character created. The system also comes with six AR Cards, which, when viewed through the outer cameras, bring to life fun and interesting animations and images. For example, when used with nintendogs + cats, users might see their puppies or kittens sitting on their coffee tables or in the palms of their hands. With Nintendo 3DS Sound, users can enjoy sound-manipulation tools or rock out with their Nintendo 3DS system while listening to their MP3 or AAC music files.

Nintendo 3DS is also able to play nearly every game in the massive Nintendo DS library, except those that require use of a secondary Game Boy™ Advance slot.

I forgot to include in the title "for NA".

Thanks!
This is more updated 'cause DOA isn't in.
And there are loads of more games.
Time to edit my thread . . .

 

[machomuu]

...So they announced 18...but only listed 16 of the 18

.
God, I hope DOA is one of the 2 not listed

Meh, nothing really exciting.

Pilotwings has seemed pretty uneventful for being the actual sequel to one of then N64 launch titles and a pretty memorable SNES game. Seems like it could easily be a miss.

Steel Diver's impressions from people came off saying it feels like a flash game that you're paying $40 for. I'll pass.

Nintendogs + Cats is pretty unappealing in general. I have a dog and a cat, I don't need a virtual one.

For third parties, the only thing that looks decent is SSFIV, but even then I may as well just play a better version on a console. Rayman 3D looks good but only if it's a good port.

 

[TheTwoR's]

I'm getting Nintendogs+Cats and SSFIV3D at launch.
Then like a few weeks later ('till I make some money), I'll get Pokemon Black, the Pokemon Black guide, and Super Monkeyball 3D
I reset the "The 3DS Game You'll Get" poll btw, so guys, revote. Sorry for the inconvenience but I had to add the games.
I like the new launch list, it's way better.

 

[Bladexdsl]

i think i'll be holding off at getting a 3ds at launch

 

[rockstar99]

Im getting it this christmas with Oot, Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 and Hopefully Pokemon Grey

 

[Sausage Head]

I am definitly™ not going to buy it at launch™. Maybe I™'ll buy it later this year™.

 

[Ikki]

That's a generally boring lineup.

I guess it doesn't hurt that much that I can't get it at launch anymore.

 

[Windaga]

Super Street Fighter® IV 3D Edition and Samurai Warrior's on launch is awesome. I'll have to play Pilot Wings and Steel Diver before I actually purchase them. I can't wait for March.

 

[shakirmoledina]

just getting the 3ds would be the most exciting thing... again pes if i really do buy a 3ds at launch but unlikely
40$ huh... reminds of the tv interview with the nintendo man who said nintendo games are full of stuff, still doesnt beat some games on the iphone tht are big and cheap and not disposable
imagine the speed of asphalt in 3d

 

[Maedhros]

I am definitly™ not going to buy it at launch™. Maybe I™'ll buy it later this year™.

Did you recently learned how to do ™?

Anyway, I'll be getting this later, when Mario Kart 3DS/Zelda OoT is released. I would get SSFIV and Pilotwings If I bought it on launch.

 

[notmeanymore]

Looks like I'll be getting Rayman 3D. (Unless trailers make the game look shit. In that case, Asphalt maybe?)

 

[Sterling]

Gonna get Pilot Wings, and a copy of White to satiate my 3DS for a while.

 

[indask8]

I will probably buy it with pilotwing.

But I'm disappoint, there is no mario game or castlevania at launch...

 

[Disturbed1]

There are three versions of Nintendogs+Cats launching with the system. The other two versions are the last of the eighteen.

Well that really mess up. :/

Just have to wait. I still want to buy DOA over SF4. So I guess it Pilotwings Resort...

 

[SPH73]

Definitely going to buy Pilot Wings 3DS. Its a lot of fun and its the best entry in the series. Definitely a good launch title.

Also going to buy at least one of the two racing games. Ridge Racer looks better but Asphalt is a lot more fun. So I'm kinda torn on that one.

Will pick up Super Street Fighter IV (thank God 3DS has better diagonals than the DS Lite) and Bust-A-Move just for some puzzle action.

It will be cool to see what Virtual Console stuff they have available at launch. So far I've only heard Super Mario Land and Zelda DX. Will definitely buy Super Mario Land, and you should too other wise all the kids are going to laugh at you.

edit: Forgot about LEGO Star Wars III. That's a definite maybe.

It won't be cool because the Virtual Console won't be available on launch. Nintendo already said it won't be available until May.
