Damn, I thought Dream Trigger was next month!

Thanks for this, plan to keep it updated?

[token2k6]

damn, things look..decent. I wonder if Splinter Cell will be in the same vein as Conviction (the first one I actually could figure out and enjoy) or all pretty much hardcore stealth..

It's a port of Chaos Theory(SC3). It's the best of the "hardcore stealth" Splinter Cell games. From what I've heard, SC3D not a very good port, unfortunately.

May 17th cannot come quick enough. I cannot wait for Dead Or Alive: Dimensions. A couple of years ago, I daydreamed about a DOA game on the DS that was pretty much what DOAD is going to be like. No doubt about it, Dimensions sold me on the 3DS.

Yes, I will try my bestest to update the OP whenever I can, so please feel free to post in this thread if a new 3DS game title becomes U.S.-bound (or gets delayed ).

[dallow]

DoA looks to be the first visual stunner for 3DS.
Too bad I'm not a huge fan. :(

[M-PG71C]

I love Dead or Alive and there hasn't bee a new installment in a very long time. So needless to say I'm picking this one up day one, especially with online and all! I was hoping it was a launch title since I wanted it more than SSFIV but maybe it is a good thing it is being spaced to May, where it practically has it all by itself.

Besides it, there's Zelda in June and Resident Evil in July, not too shabby so far. Then there is Cave Story and Devil Survivor too to look into.

[confoosious]

Pinball hall of fame could be awesome. And a "budget" title too.

Anyone know what tables are on it?

DOA is a fun series to just pick-up and throw down in, but it isn't for everyone.

I was hoping it was a launch title since I wanted it more than SSFIV but maybe it is a good thing it is being spaced to May, where it practically has it all by itself.

It's hard to believe that the last DOA fighting game came out right after the Xbox 360 launched. Feels like forever! Looking at the May 3DS releases, it is arguably the biggest 3DS game of the month. The delay could actually work in DOA's favor since people impressed with SSFIV3DE might be interested in picking up another fighting game to play on the 3DS. I'm hoping that DOA: Dimensions' free 28 costume launch DLC will be released over here, as well.

Pinball hall of fame could be awesome. And a "budget" title too.

I'm guessing that every table from the Wii version(10 tables, iirc)and maybe the 360-exclusive tables.

That one is on my radar as well, but I'm a bit played out on it if it's just the same tables. Which I suspect it will be.

[Ultimate Matt X]

Animal Crossing 3DS $39.99
Kid Icarus: Uprising $39.99
Mario Kart 3D $39.99
Paper Mario 3D $39.99
Star Fox 64 3D $39.99
Super Mario 3D $39.99

Which of this group does everyone think will actually get released this year? I can't see them all launching, as it seems like too much Mario at once. I think Super Mario 3D will go into next year along with Paper Mario or Mario Kart. I think one of the 3 will make it this year, maybe two. The other games should be good for this year though.

[strife18]

Well, after seeing the 3DS potential in a few videos and checking it out in store I was thinking of picking one up. But after looking at the launch titles and the games to come...I think I will have to wait it out until probably summer/fall. Only things of interest to me are much later releases, and even then, are not 'must-haves'.

[Rocko]

I might give Pinball Hall of Fame a look. Never played a DOA game so that's also on my radar, my roommate is really excited for it, so at least I can try his first. OOT is a definite, and Cave Story is also something I want to try. RE:M I'm kind of meh about.

[confoosious]

Medieval Madness is specifically the one that matters. That's gotta be the best pinball game of all time. Or at least top 3.

[2DMention]

Who would think they'd give us yet ANOTHER reason to buy Hall of Fame

Wii - nudging the table motion controls, first release
360/PS3 - Newer tables
PSP - Portable
3DS - 3D

I wonder how the 3D'll work on that?

Animal Crossing 3DS $39.99

paper mario 3d is the only game on the entire list that i would even be looking at playin (that is why i have no interest in the system until fall or even next spring)

[M-PG71C]

I see Kid Icarus, Mario Kart, Paper Mario, and Star Fox coming out this year given how far along they been in development. I think Animal Crossing and Super Mario 3D would be delayed into early next year, probably Spring or later. Who knows though, Iwata did say they have a lot of 3DS content that has been in development for a long time, a lot of what we know nothing of. So it's difficult to anticipate in some sense.

[Traitorious]

Dream Trigger, oh you will be mine. Though I would like you to be out next month instead of SUPER early May.

[FaintDeftone]

I really really REALLY hope that Zelda doesn't get pushed back. I'm actually looking forward to that more than Skyward Sword.

[2DMention]

The only games I'd be interested in are Paper Mario, Mario Kart, and PHoF

I believe the demo for DOA4 is still on the Xbox Live Marketplace, if you want to give it a look before DOA: Dimensions comes out. They've changed the counter system from the 4-point "press-forward-to-block-medium-kick" system from DOA4 to the 3-point system from DOA3 for DOA: Dimensions. It's a change for the better, IMO.

Pinball:HOF is excellent. If you like pinball games it's a must-buy(if not on the 3DS, than the home consoles).

I was meh on RE:M too until I watched this trailer.

My big concern is if the 3D causes it to have a lower framerate how that will affect being able to enjoy the game. If the ball is moving really fast it might get to difficult to keep your focus on it. I was going to pre-order it, but instead i'm going to wait for some previews before deciding.

[FatBoyInside]

Updated with 3DS game announcement from Natsume and other minor 3ds news overseas....Tales of Abyss RPG pushed back .

[BlueSwim]

BlazBlues:CSII was confirmed in Nintendo Power to be coming out here in the U.S. Spring 2011 from Aksys Games.:D:D

[FatBoyInside]

Updated the OP with the fresh 3DS info from today's Nintendo Press Release article.

[M-PG71C]

Blazblue and Dead or Alive for May? Not too shabby at all and then I get OoT3D and Cave Story too in June. 3DS is looking pretty keen for the next couple months really.

DS looks dead, why can't they bring Solartorobo over here like Europe damnit?! And the Wii, absolutely nothing....I'm truly surprised. This is the first time ever I'll be not buying Wii games this year, with the exception of Mario Sports Mix. I'll just stick to my PS3 for console gaming for now.

And yes, there are haters out there that claim the Wii had no games since 2008, but the they know. It was a pretty good console and I bought over 55 games and counting for it, but I guess a drought was inevitable eh?

[2DMention]

PHoF got pushed back to May?!

Weak.

[BlueSwim]

Tecmo Koei has announced Dead Or Alive: Dimensions' release date......It's going head-to-head with BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II on May 24th.

[utopianmachine]

Although I own Nintendogs, Pilotwings, and Steel Diver, I still want to play Rayman and Bust-a-Move.

I think we'll see the future months fluff out as developers reveal games they've been working on. Likely, a lot of titles that were originally slated for DS are being revamped for 3DS. The original DS horizon looks bleak, while I feel the 3DS horizon is geared to explode.
