The 3DS Lineup For 2012 is HUGE... Best Lineup for any system next year

Best lineup for any system next year? lol

Edit: are we really at the point where we know about ANY system next year besides 3DS?

If this is true though, the 3DS will kill the Vita in Japan.

It'll be a Dragon Quest VII remake that kills Vita. Not the Mario, Pokemon, Resident Evil, Kingdom Hearts, Monster Hunter, Inazuma Eleven, or even other Dragon Quest games. It's a remake of that specific one that seals the deal. Any reason why?

I think he means it'll be the straw that breaks the proverbial camel's back.

That is what I meant. This, in addition to the fact that the 3DS already has big hitters like the ones you listed (plus others like Mario Kart and Super Smash), will be what kills the Vita. Like, this will be the final nail in the coffin.
Should have worded my post better though.

EDIT: StreetsAhead gets it :p
 
That's a great line-up. But I find it funny when people say stuff like "Best Lineup" when the inevitable delays and additions will occur over the year. But yea, next year for me is definitely amazing for some one interested in 3ds and vita.

He's a pretty swell guy in my books anyway.
I'm only really interested in Paper Mario and Kingdom Hearts for sure since I have confidence in IntSys and S-E Osaka's BbS team. Including SM3DL that'd make three games I'd buy for sure. I can see my-self buying a 3DS by the end of 2012, especially if a revision with a second stick is released. If there isn't one I think three games I have confidence will turn out really fun for me personally might be good enough to pick up a system.

That being said, while line-up looks decent some of those games could be awful and you can only hope that they turn out alright (Resident Evil, Bravely Default, Beyond the Labyrinth) and/or are even confirmed for localization and released in 2012 (Fire Emblem, LaytonVsWright). With all of that I think you'd still need some more surprises announced and released in a timely fashion too for the thread title to even possibly be true. The line-up won't hold a candle to the HD console line-ups with all the multi-platform games, and it won't even be able to capitalize on being able to get multi-platform games like Vita might.

If Vita somehow survives through that list I posted before, I don't think another Dragon Quest would be a huge blow given 3DS is already getting them. Now, if it loses a real MGS, Final Fantasy, and doesn't get any of those franchises on 3DS it'll be toast.

OP forgot the best one.

Well, best third party one anyways. LM2 will be GOTY, I'm sure of it. Unless a 3DS Pokemon comes out.

Hyperbole at its finest.

It might have the best known line-up right now, but it's not even 2012 yet. Let's wait a little while before we make outrageous claims.

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
Where the hell creamsugar said that? I can't find it. A link, please.

P.S. If this is real, a friend of mine will explode for joy, since he loves DQVII

Ah, ok. He said it on his Twitter. I hope he's not joking.
 
A couple of those looks good, like Luigi's Mansion, Kid Icarus (even though it looks like a bitch to control) and Paper Mario, but doesn't look like the best lineup of next year.

It really is looking good, I'm after 5/6 of those. I just hope they have a good amount of non RPG games in the long run, I'm not a huge fan and looking back at the DS library, at least 50% of the entire catalogue is full of RPG's.

Yeah there were only a few games that you can really be sure they'll be great in the OP.
Game's that will quite likely be good/great, unless something goes horribly wrong: Luigi's Mansion 2, Kid Icarus (maybe the on-foot sections won't be all that hot, but the Sin & Punishment like flight sections seem awesome), Resident Evil: Revelations, Paper Mario, Time Travelers, Professor Layton & The Mask of Miracle, Bravely Default, Fire Emblem, Theatrhythm, Kingdom Hearts 3D, Layton vs Phoenix Wright, Monster Hunter 3G, Animal Crossing.

+ games like Rhythm Thief, Beyond the Labyrinth, Mario Tennis, Tekken, Fantasy Life, Heroes of Ruin, Rune Factory 4 have the potential to be at least somewhat decent games.

That's more than a few.

At the rate Level-5 pumps out games it's impossible this is not 2012.

You don't know much about Level-5 then.

Apparently it's in this week's Famitsu. I dunno, though, such a huge leak definitely would have been more talked about, and...

Famitsu would never get a Dragon Quest game. If the rumor was it was in this week's Famitsu it's fake. Those games only get announcements in JUMP, which was released Monday, and it's a bit too early for info to be leaking from next week's issue.

The rumor never specified from where it should come from...so, if it's real, it's from Jump.
And however, we already had very early leaks. One of these is even featured in this thread: Theatrhythm Final Fantasy! XD

I just don't think it makes much sense to announce an avalanche of 3DS Dragon Quest games.

I'm sure the remake is coming eventually, but I don't think it'll be announced now.

I honestly forgot about a few games in the OP.

This list makes the 3DS promising for the upcoming year. Nowhere to go but up!

Unless you count ShockingAlberto's rumor from September, which was relayed from a source he considers reliable but turned out to be wrong (at least about the timing of the announcement), no.

His rumor was Castlevania, Contra and Fire Emblem right?
I remember him saying "oh so that's what he meant that this was a departure from previous fire emblem", linking it to multiplayer.

DQ7 3DS? Can't wait for port begging! ;d

meh i'll wait for the revision
