  • So that's when the 3DS version of All Stars Racing Transformed comes out. Well good.

  • I'm super pumped for Rayman Legends!!! I absolutely loved Origins and I can't wait to pick it up... Sadly, I've really been lacking any game funds recently so I probably won't be able to preorder it.
  • See that list for 3DS and how amazing it is? THAT'S the reason they are combining their handheld and console division, so the console division can take some notes on how to kick butt and chew bubble gum, and the handheld division is all outta gum.
  • Strong year for the 3DS with these titles, as well as Pokemon and Animal Crossing launching later this year. I'm hoping that GTA 5 will be announced for the Wii U.
  • It's that all for the Wii U? Really? And they expect to sell 4 million by march? This is just... Well, this just confirms I'm not gonna get a Wii U any time soon.
  • No Virtual Console lists? Too bad. It would be awesome if Nintendo released SMB3 for the 3DS's VC in the USA. I don't understand why it's only available in Japan.
  • well not much for me there
  • There is something amazing about seeing Commander Video all rezed up like that.
  • I cant wait for monster hunters 3 ultima

  • I would have expected a much stronger line up for the Wii U at the start of the new year, but obviously not. I guess they're saving most titles to compete with the other next gen consoles.

  • Glad to see that the 3DS is doing well and seeing more games on the Horizon.  Definitely looking to Castlevania, Luigi's Mansion, and Fire Emblem.

  • Game & Wario for Wii U is also scheduled for a Q1 release this year. Really looking forward to that one.
  • STARFOX 3! STARFOX 3! STARFOX 3! I WANT STARFOX 3!!!!!!!!!!!
  • For some reason I was thinking I would see a new Mega man game since it was the 3ds that was getting Mega Man original 1-6 games on the system! oh well
  • Pretty sad list for Wii U users. I feel for you :(
  • Only the 3DS line interest me.

  • The lack of incoming Wii U games is disappointing, and the lack of games (especially indie games) on the eShop is alarming. Either Nintendo's approval process is to strict for the eShop or the development tools are sub-par. I don't see any other reason not to develop indie games for the Wii U. Indie games are pretty innovative (most of the good ones anyway,) and the Wii U is an almost untouched platform, so it seems like a good match.
  • so many games in March. :O
