My Garden date listing pointing to 2011 release for 3DS
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 8 Comments
The image below comes from EA’s My Garden page…
As you can see, My Garden is apparently going to be released in Spring 2011. EA stated in a press release earlier today that the project will be a launch title for the 3DS, so unless the listing above is inaccurate, that would indicate that the the handheld won’t hit store shelves until 2011 in North America and Europe. Still, an official confirmation from Nintendo would be nice!
