Nintendo Releases A Rough Look At Its Upcoming Schedule
Nintendo laid out a rough idea of what it's planning to release in Japan, Europe, and the United States from July onward as part of its earnings report. There aren't any revelatory details in the document, but the list does provide a glimpse at the differences of both timing and release dates between the regions.
In particular, it's a nice reminder that Japan and Europe are getting the 3DS XL a few weeks before it hits our shores. You know, in case you're interested in that kind of thing. Most of the interesting stuff is followed by the dream-shattering letters "TBD," including the upcoming 3DS Super Smash Bros., Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, and Animal Crossing.
