Just like Papa Smurf, you have your favorites. You can’t help it. You can love them all (or say you do), but you can’t properly show your love equally. That’s how it went down last night when all the news and announcements from Nintendo on the 3DS console and its games dropped.
From our news postings last night, you might have a good idea of what games you’ll pick up for the 3DS after its March 2011 release date, but we didn’t want to leave the lesser loved game announcements out. Sure, there’s Zelda, Pit, Ryu and all those other popular guys, but we can’t leave out the ratty pound puppies of the bunch. We can’t leave out Jokey Smurf. That’s why we’ve created this roundup of the 3DS games we shunned yesterday and others we just plain missed.
I’m a glass is half full guy. I bet Papa Smurf even had some love for Azrael.
Read on for our list.
First off, here’s the 3DS game announcements we covered:
- Metal Gear Solid 3DS: Snake Eater
- Mega Man Legends 3
- LovePlus 3DS
- Super Street Fighter IV 3D
- Resident Evil: The Mercenaries
- Resident Evil: Revelations
- Puzzle Bobble
- Kid Icarus: Uprising
- Super Paper Mario 3DS
- Driver 3D
- Super Monkey Ball
- Chocobo Racing
- Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle
And now, for the less loved games. This list isn’t even bothering to try to be complete as there are a lot of games coming. More 3DS announcements will continue to follow as we get closer to the release today. Even today we hear that Sega has four other 3DS titles beyond Super Monkey Ball 3DS.
