Nintendo 3DS launch game roundup
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Features | 0 comments
With the imminent release of the Nintendo 3DS (though since this article is posting late, it’s probably already out in Europe) I thought it’d be a good idea to go over all the games releasing alongside the new console. So in preparation for the launch of the Nintendo 3DS on March 25th in Europe, the 27th for North America and 31st for Australia, here are your launch titles. Given that the only game I’ve played on the console is the 3D version of Ocarina of Time (which isn’t even a launch game) I’ll try to keep my opinions away from the actual discussion of what’s coming out.
In terms of first party titles, Nintendo are releasing three launch games (or five if you want to count different versions of Nintendogs + cats, which you really shouldn’t). As well as the long awaited sequel to Nintendogs —the game that sold thousands of DS units whether you like it or not— Pilotwings is also finally being revisited, with Pilotwings Resort switching the setting to Wii Sports Resort’s Wuhu Island. Rounding out the trio is Steel Diver, an odd submarine simulator that started life as a tech demo for the original Nintendo DS. Steel Diver will only be a launch title in North America, so I’m predicting we might have another Excitebots on our hands, where Nintendo releases an incredibly niche title in the US only to never bring it anywhere else. That’s not to say that Steel Diver will sink, though, as previews of it so far have been fairly positive.
What do Reggie and Jimmy Fallon look like after face merging?

Somewhat similar to what the DSi offers, the 3DS’ camera capabilities allows you to merge faces of two different people. Nintendo President Satoru Iwata and Shigeru Miyamoto demonstrated this a few months ago.
Nintendo of America boss Reggie Fils-Aime will be appearing on tonight’s episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, so Joystiq took it upon themselves to merge both of their faces in a couple of photos. You can check out the results above, and make sure to tune in to the show at 12:35 AM EDT.
