Nintendo has been talking a lot about first-party content on the 3DS eShop, but what about third-parties? It sounds like we’ll be seeing their games on the store soon, too.

During a Q&A analyst session at E3 2012, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime highlighted the titles shown in the graphic above. He said that these are “all coming to stores both in physical and digital formats in the second half of 2012.” In that case, yo should be able to purchase Castlevania, Scribblenauts Unlimited, and more from the eShop before the end of 2012.

It’s no secret that the 3DS had a rough start at retail. The system’s poor sales led to one of the fastest price drops we’ve seen for a Nintendo system in the company’s history.

That being said, president Satoru Iwata believes the 3DS’ newfound success and ability to outsell the DS isn’t a result of the $80 cut. After all, the 3DS still costs more than the DS did at launch.

This is just one element Iwata touched on in a meeting with investors at E3 2012 last week (and published today). He also talked about 3DS launch mistakes and how Nintendo will be “doing our utmost to avoid a situation where we have to cut the price of the Wii U hardware shortly after its launch”.

Go! Go! Kokopolo could be getting a sequel on the 3DS eShop. The game’s creator, Keith Webb, seems to have significant interest in making a followup.

Webb is currently gauging interest for a possible sequel. The new title would feature new bosses, levels, and more.

It also sounds like the game would be available for a lower price than its predecessor. Go! Go! Kokopolo can be purchased through DSiWare for 800 points ($8).
