A Look Forward to 2012!

2011 is finally over and it's been a crazy year for the 3DS. The system first launched back in March and the months following it's release we've seen the 3DS not performing to the expectations Nintendo had set, even with the release of Ocarina of Time 3D. Then came the game-shaking price cut and Nintendo's first annual profit loss in threedecades! This lead many to believe that Nintendo would go 3rd-Party or even go bankrupt as a company...but this was not to be the case. Fast forward to the release of Monster Hunter 3G, Mario Kart 7, and Super Mario 3D Land; the 3DS proved itself to be the dominate force in the handheld market. Now 3DS sales have been skyrocketing with 12 million sold worldwide with half of that coming from the past two months!

Let's look at what 2012 has to offer the 3DS :)

Paper Mario 3D

Resident Evil: Revelations

Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance

Kid Icarus: Uprising

Animal Crossing 3D

Luigi's Mansion 2

Metal Gear Solid 3D: Snake Eater

Mario Tennis 3D

Tekken 3D: Prime Edition

Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle

Monster Hunter Tri G

Beyond the Labyrinth

Fire Emblem: Awakening

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy

Fantasy Life

Time Travelers

Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney

Monster Hunter 4

Resident Evil this month :D

Has Capcom said that Monster Hunter 4 is coming out in 2012 in Japan? Sepewrath

Will we ever get MH: Tri G in the West, I don't see the point of not bringing it out here in Europe.godfather_1

considering how much the game sells and that it's already been localized before I would say that it's highly likely we'll see Western releases

I beleive there is a good chance of Both MH: 3G and MH4 both coming to the west, though I highly doubt it will be in the same year.

The 3DS will take almost all my gaming money this year!

I'm kinda worried about Tekken 3D edition. We haven't got much information about it from Namco... :|

Theres a ton of games coming this year for the 3DS but I only want, Paper Mario, Animal Crossing, Luigi's Manison 2 and Professor Layton

[QUOTE="Sepewrath"] I think most of those will be released in the US, I'm not sure about 3G though. I think Time Travelers and Fantasy Life are the least likely. Haziqonfire

If Animal Crossing and Paper Mario even come out in 2012. Seems like Nintendo doesn't care about them at all anymore.

I think I'm the one that's gonna go bankrupt this year. :P

Every time I see those Resident Evil Revelation screenies i'm just astonished at how brilliant those graphics are. It looks like it will be (visually) the best game on a handheld to date.

No need to argue all of that. I am very excited for both games, but I say they don't care about them because it's getting frustrating how they announced both titles back in E3 of 2010, but they still don't even have a vague release date. Yet, first party games that get announced months, even a year later, get released immediately.

It's just annoying, because those two games were the games I was the most excited for from the beginning.
