So...the Nintendo 3DS. Biggest news of the Nintendo presser, perhaps even the biggest news of E3.
But what about the games? We know that the big N has some of the strongest first-party brands anyone could ask for, but it seems that the 3DS is going to have a full slate of real heavy third-party support.
Expect some really huge games on the platform, including a Metal Gear title from Konami, a Kingdom Hearts game from Square Enix, music titles from Activision, something from Harmonix, an Assassin's Creed game from Ubisoft, and even an all-new Resident Evil game from Capcom.
Hell, even THQ was listed as a publisher, right alongside a Saints Row logo.
This little portable looks to be going off big.
[Update: Nintendo has sent out a massive list of upcoming 3DS games, and boy, there are some big names on here. First-party highlights include Animal Crossing, Nintendogs + cats, Kid Icarus: Uprising, Mario Kart, something called PilotWings Resort, and Star Fox 64 3D.
On the third-party side, we've got stuff like: DJ Hero 3D from Activision; a Persona game from Atlus; Resident Evil Revelations and Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition from Capcom; Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D from Konami; a Sonic game from Sega; and a Batman game from Warner Bros.

![E3 10: Nintendo 3DS getting a crapton of games [Update] photo](http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/176534-3rd-party.jpg)
HEY-O!
No, but seriously, I NEED a release date now so I can plan to lock myself away for a week with this thing
Also curious as to whether any of these publishers will do anything with Grasshopper.
I'm content.
Barring bad hands on experience reports, I'm pretty much sold.
*audience laughs*
One hell of a show. I can't wait to get my hands on this and see how it works.
New Metal Gear is tempting, if it plays my DS import games, I'll trade up. Otherwise I'd have to keep my DSi and find money for this, which probably won't happen.
.... it's odd, but the MS conference seems like what Nintendo did several years ago with all the motion control stuff - and now it seems that 3D is going to be the next big thing. In addition to the cool features of the new DS it was nice to see a fairly solid line up of old favorites coming back for the Wii. A nice mix in there of different genres too.
