Hopefully they're all spaced out so I can play most of them...

The 3DS Lineup For 2012 is HUGE... Best Lineup for any system next year
- Thread starter pramath
- Start date
Not anytime soon. From the looks of things, it is clear that Nintendo money hatted Capcom for Monster Hunter exclusivity, at least for the time being. Maybe there'll be a Monster Hunter game on the Vita two, three years down the line, but for the foreseeable future, the series is 3DS exclusive.
Everyone who is in desperate need to play something on their 3DS should check out the 3DSware game "Freakyforms":

I'll also post some impressions later.

It feels like the 3DS's own Metroid Prime Hunters.
I was interested in the game to begin with, now I just want it to be released already so that Sakurai can start work on the new Smash Bros.
Oh okay.

HEROES OF RUIN
Really? This is only good for Street Sharks jokes.
METAL GEAR SOLID 3D: SNAKE EATER
Dear god no.
FIRE EMBLEM
Chances don't look good for this one. Of all the Nintendo TGS trailers released, this was the only one not released on the 3DS trailers in North America. They're probably pretending it doesn't exist. I'm just glad I've racked up many years of Fire Emblem experience to play this blind folded. They even changed the stats up screen so you won't understand what stats are going up unless you can read Japanese.

This thread is just... wrong!
Everyone knows 3DS was DOA at the hands of smartphones and Vita. Have I entered an alternate dimension where Nintendo is un-doomed????

Mmm, Paper Mario and Tekken look so luscious.
Forgot about Kid Icarus. My interest has fell significantly after seeing more gameplay. But I'd still like to try it I guess. Maybe after it bombs.
Lol, I'd eat the headphones I'm wearing if Versus and Xillia make it (to the west) next year.
But yeah, I'd agree. Between the exclusives and multiplats, I'll probably be wearing out the PS3 again next year.

Don't forget the lovely region lockout. I don't have much hope for FE 3DS in NA. At best it will be released in EU (which still means region lockout).
It might not look too hot graphically, but it seems like it could have enough going for it as far as loot-whore hack 'n slash RPGs go, what's with the seemingly strong support for all of 3DS's features (drop-in/drop-out online coop, Street Pass and other such stuff) and the whole Borderlands-like random-loot generator. As long as it offers a decent length campaign and well balanced New Game+, it could be a game to look out for, at least for fans of the genre.

Revisionist history yet agin. Everyone and his dog were saying how the 3DS would be THE biggest launch since the PS2.
Maybe you can join AceBandage, who kept repeating that doomed meme until he got banned.
Now, where have I heard that before?
Honestly, what are the odds that Nintendo gets rid of the region lock anytime soon? I could see them patching it out with a firmware update if they really had to...
Except that when it failed to meet those (rather unrealistic) expectations, it was immediately proclaimed as a failure destined to a slow death at the hands of smartphones and the Vita. Denying that would be revisionist history.
EDIT: Sorry for the double post

Hot damn...and that's just what we know about right now...
Was he the guy who was doing that? I specifically came into this topic to see somebody do the same and I wasn't disappointed.
I don't think anyone seriously believes (believed?) the Vita will destroy the 3DS. Isn't it always about how the DS cannibalizes the sales, and how modern cell phones have taken the casual market? Anytime someone voices that sentiment, I recall people bringing up DS vs PSP all over again.
What I've noticed is that people personally feel that the Vita has outed the 3DS, not that that will also be the same for the mass market as a whole and transfer to more sales.
Unlikely, they maintain it's required for the different regional online services and publishers seem to like it. They probably could remove it for cartridge games, but the money's telling them not to.
It will be a painful wait for KH's localization.

Or somebody to hack it soon.
er, at least here in Europe it was already confirmed that the GBA ambassador games will come sometime in 2012, maybe America wins this time and you get them earlier?
Well its the best looking mario kart yet, a GOTY contender mario, and a really good remake of one of the best games ever released.
I'm not saying that next years lineup looks bad, it just looks like a bunch of A - B tier games, whereas this year had a couple AAA releases.
I mean, I'll get layton, it will be fun, FE might be good, Luigi's Mansion 2 has the potential to be quite good, Paper Mario will be fun... these all look like good games but none are really going to blow me away.
I'm SUPER hyped for bravely default, but AFAIK, it doesn't have an actual release date. It's likely it will come out next year, but not for sure, especially in NA.
Some people are really defensive about their console of choice...
I personally just can't wait for the Analog Pro Plus thingy add-on majig.
The 3DS is so small and thin it really cramps my hand. I actually play with it in the charger dock just so I have something to hold.
I'll pick up one of those Analog-add-ons for games that don't use it. I have big hands!
This peripheral is my most wanted thing on 3DS. I also know it'll make Resident Evil, Kid Icarus, MGS3, and other games that much better.

Luigis mansion 2 is still coming out in February?
From the German Site
Nintendo.de said:
bolded means "Available next year" and upon doing some search in google.de, many sites reported it officially.

I guess America wins then, which is odd because I thought the NES games launched within a day of each other in each region?
edit: Oh I got it. Releases December 31st in NA, January 1st in EU. The only explanation!
If Fire Emblem doesn't get localized, Nintendo is dead to me. They can't release some of my favorite games ever and then dump support of the series. UGH.
The only game that really interests me on there is KH and it shouldn't since I'm sure it's another dumb side story with too much emphasis on Nomura characters. Would consider Fire Emblem, but I don't have a lot of trust in NoA bringing over games these days
Would buy a 3DS for Majora's remake though.

It's a direct sequel to KH2.

I think it's not a very interesting lineup tbh, wouldn't surprise me if it's one of the weakest of the year when all is said and done (Vita has an unusually good launch lineup)
In the back of my mind is the region locked nonsense with the 3DS, which really dampens my enthusiasm for it. I'll probably not be picking it up til KH releases in europe.
