That is most probably because publishers aren't really sure about how good the system will do, so they are currently only offering games that they know are safe bets (which maybe encouraged by Nintendo as well to push the system)Nirolak said:
fake edit: after listing the games, I believe this is not a thing to worry about at all!
however, despite this, at least in Japan, we already got a new IP from Capcom (that sound game which didn't sell), we got Still Diver from Nintendo which didn't sell and was panned, we are getting Kid Icarus which already is being panned because of the control, we are getting a new rhythm IP from Sega, there is this Mii rpg that has already been forgotten; a Theatrhythm, etc
there are usual doze of console games revived as well, Harvest Moon and Rune Factory both getting an installment on the system, frogger coming back, Shinobi is also, RE:R going back to RE roots after almost a decade., Luigi is revived, etc.
There are also new IPs that we don't know much about: fantasy life, time travelers, beyond the labyrinth, heroes of ruin, Rodea.
Streetpass and Spotpass are practically useless at the moment (because of the low penetration of the hardware) and so it is not worthy for publishers to focus on them in their games (although launch titles, such as SSF4 did, most probably because they thought 3DS will sell like pancake)

I hope I get a job soon so I can pick up Mario Kart 7 at least.
Isn't "Jap" widely regarded as derogatory?
I think "JPN" is more commonplace as a P.C. abbreviation.

A lineup that rivals and seeks to exceed previous Nintendo handhelds would be nice.
I'd love to see some original titles that give me the same sense of excitement of those great franchises that started on the DS.
I'd love to see some of the magnificent indie titles on Steam remade for the 3DS for portable play - such a shame Nintendo doesn't see fit to open discussions on this.
I'd love to see some more exposure for Nintendo's less saturated franchises: Pikmin, Donkey Kong Country, Eternal Darkness, Mother, Sin and Punishment and others.
I'd love to see gaps in the DS library plugged - a 2D Metroid, a 2D Zelda, a Smash Bros that's more than a vague assurance that "its coming..",
I'd love to see a virtual console service that's not treated like some sacred dripping tap with all the releases coming slowly over time. There should have been a library from day one to choose from.
I'd love to see some exciting new IP by Retro Studios.
I'd love to see indie developers being encouraged and supported to release their upcoming titles on the 3DS. Minecraft with the touch screen interface could be amazing.
And while we are here, I don't object to more ports if they support an impressive library of original software. 3DS remakes of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Zelda: Majora's Mask, F-Zero GX, Rogue Squadron and Wind Waker DX would be nice lineup. A remake of Metroid 2 may very well sell the system single-handedly.
I know that all might read like a pipe dream, but compared to what they could be doing, the 3DS lineup is poor. Its not just when you compare the release list to my above ideas, if you juxtapose the 3DS listings with Nintendo's previous handhelds it just does not compare favourably.
Nintendo need to convince me to buy a 3DS, and as a Nintendo fan this shouldn't be too difficult. I've owned every Nintendo system. However, their lack of boldness and effort with 3DS titles and the disappointing hardware means that at present, they're failing.

EDIT: But the graphical upgrade is nice. Still, for $40 it would have been nice to see some new content.

Lot of good shit coming out. Really excited for Kid Icarus and as a day one Shinobi fan, I think I'm going to get the 3DS game.

There are many signs that Kid Icarus might not make it out this year. The November thing in this thread is completely wrong.ShinUltramanJ said:
The only absolute must for me is Mario Kart VII: Advent Koopa. Beyond that I'll probably grab Bit.Trip Saga since I really liked the first two on Wii but kind of stopped paying attention to WiiWare stuff. And I'll likely end up with Super Mario 3D Land but I think I'm going to wait a week or two to hear real impressions and see some more vids.
I'm really hoping TGS and the mystery September conference gives me some more third-party games to look forward to (beyond vague promises and series logo announcements; I will buy a new Etrian Odyssey right away, but give me some details!).

if I decide to buy a 3DS rather than DS (which solely depends on how good DS games look on it), I will get the following till the years end:
- OoT: never played it.
- DoA or SSF: Never played a DoA and last time played SF wasn't in this decade, or the last one
- Steel Diver: Will sell it after finishing the game
- Bit. Trip: without 3D, it was trippy. I really want to see what will happen to my mind after playing on 3D for more than an hour.
- FIFA 11 DS: yes, 11. it is a fabulous game, it has online as well; and I always wished DS had an analog solely for this game
- SM 64: didn't get it for DS cause the lack of analog
- Ridge Racer or NFS: if NFS comes with online and is good, I'll get it; otherwise it is RR
on eShop:
- Picross: I always wondered why it wasn't released on DSiWare?
- Tetris (DSiWare one, never got it)
there are lots of games on DS that I have to catch up as well, but no one cares if I list them.
if 3DS had a DD like PSV, I would get the following games on it as well:
- Tetris
- Pinball Hall of Fame
- OoT: never played it.

Did we ever find out if PAL games work on US systems or is it a hard region lock?
Kinda want One Piece.

Wow. After looking at that list, the 3DS doesn't look nearly as bad as people are making it out to be. I'd go so far to say that it has the best line-up of any system for the rest of the year. They've got all the bases covered. That is impressive to say the least.
On another note. Handheld gaming seems to be the last place for pure gaming. I love console and PC games, but it's nice to have a system that doesn't require an internet connection and constant updates, patches and micro transactions. People have harped on Nintendo for their online stance, but this gen has taken it way too far. I'm almost at the point where I don't want online in my system at all. This could probably serve as another topic altogether, but the online capabilities of 3DS and the stance taken by Nintendo might just be a blessing in disguise.

I generally try to limit myself to one game a month for any given system, but SM3DL, Sonic Generations (depending on what my console situation is at that point I may get the handheld edition), Kid Icarus (?), and Tales of the Abyss are making that really difficult.
And Mario Kart 7 obviously.
Between all this and Skyward Sword, I'll be a happy gamer come Fall.

2 games for the rest of the year, and they both star a plumber. Some of those games look really bad like DS graphics bad, a lot of those games look worse then PS1 games
