“We are very confident of the Nintendo 3DS. We also have a strong line up of titles, including Ridge Racer 3D, Duel Pen Sports and Pac Man/Galaga. We see it as one of the most important launches in gaming history and we’re very confident of all of our new titles.” – UK marketing boss Lee Kirton
Bandai is bringing a really awesome Galaga title to 3DS where you actually move the system around to steer and look around in a first person spaceship shooter. Pacman looks kinda lame, but it’s packaged in for free with Galaga. Talk about awesome!
Nintendo has listed this game for a Spring release in Japan, but has officially said that it won’t arrive in North America until after E3. It’s possible that the game will be delayed in Japan, though we’ll have to wait and see if that actually happens. If it doesn’t, we should be seeing more footage of Ocarina of Time 3D soon.

PES 2011 3D will be released along the Nintendo 3DS on March 25th across Europe, and is a truly immersive football title for the new format.
