Please tell me that Paper Mario game won't be a repeat of Super Paper Mario.

I was a big 3DS skeptic but it's turning out to have some fantastic games. That lineup is incredible. Should be a great console for JRPGs too.

 

[Gospel]

Maybe you can join AceBandage, who kept repeating that doomed meme until he got banned.

I'm almost positive he got banned for hotlinking to an image that later expired and turned into a porno gif

Paper Mario on 3DS is indeed a new original RPG, like Paper Mario, and TTYD, and not a platformer.

 

[GTP_Daverytimes]

Great lineup, i might pick the 3DS up.

It was Fernando Rocker that got banned for the Dooooomed thing.

In any case, used ironically or not, it's obnoxious.

 

[theBishop]

A few too many bug-eyed anime cartoon games there, but it's still night and day better than 2011. Best for any system? Doubt it.

 

[Lumpy Onion]

Kingdom Hearts, Bravely Default, and Paper Mario really make me glad I bought a 3DS.

 

[Oni Link 666]

I'm looking forward to Kid Icarus the most. I'm really interested in seeing how it turned out after all this time and I just love on-rails shooters.

 

[Instro]

Ace Attorney vs Professor Layton is probably 2012. Same with Rune Factory 4. I wonder what is going on with that Ninja Gaiden game too.

 

[overcast]

Wow... that's a hell of a line up. Not to mention, Nintendo will definitely announce something at E3 for the holiday season. I need a 3DS.

 

[LOCK]

And this obviously doesn't include things that will be announced at E3. So yeah, great second year.

 

[GSR]

Resident Evil, ToTA, Layton, and Paper Mario for sure; maybe Rayman, MGS3D, Time Travellers, and Beyond the Labyrinth (though I don't know if those latter two are confirmed for a US release); Fire Emblem for sure if it ever comes out over here.

Really wishing Nintendo's decision to region-lock their handhelds hadn't coincided with my learning Japanese. I will be in agony if Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney never makes it over here (and yes, I've seen the article, but I'd like a little more solid confirmation before calling it for sure.)

 

[KennyLinder]

I played Luigis Mansion 2 at E3, it was lovely. Could really do with dual stick control though, but it sounds like it will support the Frankenstick add-on.

Need Paper Mario so badly, hope it's not end of 2012!

 

[TheAtomicPile]

This is the best part. Nintendo always saves at least one big game per system for an E3 announcement.

 

[Hellish]

I do not need this ... I DO NOT.

 

[Criminal Upper]

Pretty good so far! Can't wait for more to be announced.

 

[BY2K]

That's... Wow, that's actually a pretty solid line-up.

 

[shaneskim]

Any word on whether SSX is coming to 3DS?

 

[MDX]

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)

Wii will have the weakest of the year.

[Version 3.0]

If that's the best lineup of next year, I'm going to have a ton of cash lying around unspent.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

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

I'm not agree with that.

You apparently agreed with the "Reply to Thread" part.

 

[Fodder76]

Ace Attorney vs Professor Layton is probably 2012. Same with Rune Factory 4. I wonder what is going on with that Ninja Gaiden game too.

I'm glad someone had the good sense to mention Ace Attorney vs Professor Layton. It should have been #1 on the list in the OP.

 

[ghibli99]

Woah, that's quite a list! I'm just happy to be playing something - ANYTHING - on my 3DS right now that isn't an N64 remake (SM3DL).

KID ICARUS: UPRISING

BEYOND THE LABYRINTH

Angle, pose, etc. kinda look like the same game reskinned!

 

[dc89]

We'll probably get the rest of the Ambasador stuff next year too.

It's going to be great.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

What is the name of the Level 5 collection with the Matsuno game on it?

Does that have a date yet?

 

[Alligatorjandro]

This makes me want a 3DS.

 

[Electivirus]

Holy shit, that lineup. *drools*

 

[Bullza2o]

That lineup reminded me of how my wallet will still continue to be sad next year. Awesome stuff!

 

[Labadal]

From that list 5 games are especially interesting, including Bravely Default and Fire Emblem. The question is if these two games will get a European release.

[Reluctant-Hero]

I pray that Fire Emblem is released in the US. If NOE releases it and Reggie/NOA fuck us over, I'll be devastated.

 

[Tetraeon]

Classic 2D Metroid on a 3D enabled system? Sounds amazing - hoping for a pseudo-3D-but with classic gameplay. But we all know that's never going to happen.
Thanks Nintendo.

*crosses fingers*

 

[BGBW]

I'm actually looking for to Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy. Probably a first for me when it comes to FF. DS really got me into quirky rhythm games on a portable.

 

[Trojita]

New system has a big lineup of games the year after release while all of the other systems are at the end of their life cycle.

[To Far Away Times]

3DS is already having an awesome second half of the year, and 2012 looks great.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

Guild 01

Thanks. I hope it is coming sooner rather than later

 

[Amir0x]

well actual lineup definitely failed to live up to the title of this topic, that's for damn sure.

I still definitely want Paper Mario, Bravely Default (probably), Resident Evil Revelations, Fire Emblem and MAYBE Kid Icarus, if the flight segments are enough to make up for the mediocre on foot segments. Oh and Beyond the Labyrinth, dungeon crawling ftw.

Other than that, sequel to the worst franchise of all time Animal Crossing, sequel to the mediocre crown king Luigi's Mansion (skill-less hide-and-seek borefest that lasts about 2 hours, pass), mediocre port of Metal Gear Solid 3, Time Travelers superior on Vita, Rayman Origins I already own, Heroes of Ruin looks ugh-tastic, Tales of the Abyss is a port of an old PS2 title, I'm tired of the Professor Layton 99 cents puzzle formula, and KH can go shove it at this point.

Kind of a meh lineup all around, certainly not the best of any system next year. We'll see what gets announced at E3, you know how Nintendo loves to announce things last minute.

3DS has no gamez.

Btw. Layton V is confirmed for 2012 in Europe .

 

[soultron]

I'm definitely getting a 3DS this year, and am excited for a lot of games on that list, but it seems like a very niche list. There's not a lot of mainstream offerings on there outside of some solid Nintendo stuff. I'm not claiming doom and gloom at all, but it just seems that the OP is being generous in calling it the best line up for any system.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I think I'm gonna trade in my DS to Gamestop and get one of those 3DS bundles.This thread is what pushed me.

 

[Sadist]

Can't wait for RE Revelations.

 

[thepotatoman]

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=445374

Handhelds have had 2 straight years of real mediocre showings, so its great to see it resurge on both systems for 2012. Consoles won't have it quite as well next year compared to 2011, which makes it look even better.

Don't bank on Kingdom Hearts though, Square always waits until everyone forgets about their game before they launch it.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Can't wait for RE Revelations.

Any news on the "Slide Pad"being released in the US? Or should I just import one from Japan do I have it ready to go when RE:R is released?

 

[Smithy C]

I don't know, I think I would rather play a bunch of the launch PS Vita games than most of these. The only ones that really interest me are MGS3 and Mario Kart, and I could just play the HD remake of MGS on the PS3.

 

[GSR]

Forgot about the 999 sequel. That's day one assuming Aksys manages to work something out with Chunsoft.

 

[Marco1]

That's a great line-up and the only problem I have at the moment is should I buy a wii or 3DS?
What puts me off 3DS id the fact you have to look straight at it for the 3D to work but congrats to nintendo for trying it but I can't help but feel that a DS with the specs of vita mixed with the nintendo franchises would have been a far better handheld console.

 

[Deleted member 81567]

And not even one unique, appealing IP.

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

not sure about other systems' lineup but this one is rock-solid. Still needs some more games.
PES coming out this year amirite?
