3DS Launching With Layton, Nintendogs, More
One of the interesting nuggets to come out of Nintendo's Space World 2011 event in Tokyo was the reveal of the system's Japanese launch lineup. Aside from Nintendogs + Cats, it's noticeably light on first-party games. Pilotwings Resort and the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time port are coming sometime in the spring, and Kid Icarus is slated for a summer release.
At any rate, here's the lineup according to Famitsu:
Nintendogs & Cats ¥4,800 (~$57.60)
Winning Eleven Soccer 3D ¥5,800 (~$69.60)
Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition ¥4,800 (~$57.60)
Samurai Warriors: Chronicles ¥6,090 (~$73.08)
Puzzle Bobble 3D ¥4,980 (~$59.76)
Ridge Racer 3D ¥6,090 (~$73.08)
Battle of Giants: Dinosaur Strike ¥5,040 (~$60.48)
Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracles ¥5,980 (~$71.76)
While these prices may seem steep to our sensitive North American wallets, keep in mind that ¥4,800 is a fairly typical price for DS games.
