Thirty titles should be available by early June. Nintendo added that The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time 3D, Star Fox 64 3D, Kid Icarus: Uprising and “new installments” in the Mario Kart series are scheduled for a 2011 release. Installments? Like, more than one? Interesting.
Will you be diving in with a day-one purchase? Let us know in the comments…
I guess I’ll double dip on SSF4. I’ll probably end up with Monkey Ball, too, as long as it doesn’t totally suck. (Which is a likely possibility.)
The rest of these games can go to hell.
I’d buy it, but I don’t have any extra cash. God dammit.
Man, when they give me glimpses of Ocarina of Time, a new Kingdom Hearts, another Bloodrayne, Blaz Blue, Etrian Odyssey, Final Fantasy, Kid Icarus, Mario Kart and remake of Metal Gear Solid 3…that’s pretty disappointing.
Because this is Nintendo, in a year they are going to release the 3DS Lite/XL/XLi/Supersize version of the 3DS, I’m going to sit this one out for now. Especially since the games are going to be more.
I think it really does have to be the worst launch ever… MonkeyBall is the one I’m getting, but it’s not exactly like I’m interested in it that much.
lol, Nintendo.
Seriously, they can’t go screwing round any more like they did last gen. From what I’ve seen and heard, if the NGP is <$300, many people will be willing to buy it.
