These are probably the largest screenshots we’ve seen of a 3DS game thus far. I have no idea why they’ve been blown up like this, though they do look quite good!
Even though two full months in 2011 have passed, there really aren’t any Wii games to look forward to that have been announced by Nintendo of America. We know Skyward Sword will be released sometime this year… but what else? Well, we’re still not sure, but more software is definitely coming.
IGN’s Rich George, who participated in the latest Game Scoop podcast, briefly discussed a recent conversation he had with Reggie Fils-Aime. Basically, Nintendo of America’s COO said that more Wii games are on the way. Reggie’s full response is expected to be posted on IGN sometime within the next few days.
This year, Nintendo has only launched Mario Sports Mix for Wii, and have yet to announce additional software for the console. A couple of titles could be revealed through a simple press release, although the heavy hitters will most likely be saved for E3. It’s possible that Nintendo will localize two well-received RPGs for the system – Xenoblade and The Last Story – and/or release the new Kirby Wii title before 2011 ends. It’s likely that the company has a few secret titles in the works as well.

I hope you guys like playing your games on handhelds, because this month is full of games to play on the go. As well as a string of promising Nintendo DS games, March sees the release of the new Nintendo 3DS console, a portable powerhouse with more launch games than I have time to write about. So hopefully you weren’t looking forward to reading about those any time soon.
