Following the disclosure of Nintendo 3DS’ release date in North America, the domain has been buzzing with new game unveilings for the console. The manufacturer now appears in a mood to streamline all the titles for the system. The company has divulged a roster of 18 games which will release alongside the Nintendo 3DS next month.
Back in late December, the official Nintendo World 2011 website listed out games which have been confirmed for the 3DS. Affirming the previous announcement, the company has now uncovered that 18 titles will arrive in the terrain with the device. It is also being stated that the string of releases for the hardware will continue to serve its palette with 30 games until the E3 Expo.
“Seeing 3D visuals without the need for special glasses is just one aspect of Nintendo 3DS,” explained Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. “The real test of any system is whether the games and applications draw you in and keep you engaged. Through the launch window and beyond, Nintendo 3DS delivers.”
Amongst the numerous games which will advent into the realm this March, Nintendo-published Pilotwings Resort, Steel Driver and nintendogs + cats titles are touted to extend varied experiences. An aerial adventure in the skies of the tropical Wuhu Island, Pilotwings Resort has been crafted with airplanes, hang gliders and rocket belts. Steel Driver combines the strategy and combat genre in a submarine whereas nintendogs + cats unfolds an interactive pet game. Additionally, the company will later launch games such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Star Fox 64 3D and Kid Icarus: Uprising for the 3DS.
Third-party publishers who have been designing their offerings for this system too will add zing into this space. These include Capcom’s Super Street Fighter IV 3D, Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs 3D, Rayman 3D and Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Shadow Wars from Ubisoft. Besides, Ridge Racer 3D from Namco Bandai Games, Sega’s Super Monkey Ball, Bust-A-Move Universe by Square Enix and Tecmo Koei’s Samurai Warriors: Chronicles too will release alongside the hardware. The Sims, Madden NFL Football, Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 3D and Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars have also been scheduled to land with the device.
The Nintendo 3DS is slated to hit stores in North America on March 27, 2011. The company’s Pilotwings Resort, Steel Drivers and nintendogs + cats will be available on the same day for 39.99 USD (approx. Rs. 1,806). The pricing details for other games have not been unveiled as of now.
