3DS

This is interesting. Nintendo will be holding an all-day 3DS event for the media in just two weeks, according to IGN editor Rich George.

George tweeted a few minutes ago:

Nintendo actually doesn’t have much 3DS software in the pipeline for North America for the second half of 2013. LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins is coming out this month, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is coming in May, and Animal Crossing is due in June. Beyond this, it’s unclear what else is in store. Maybe there will be an announcement or two? Or perhaps this is a chance to highlight more 3DS eShop games?
