3DS launch games: The best of the rest
With limited time, 3DS systems and eyes capable of processing 3D, we couldn't deliver full reviews for the full 3DS launch lineup. However, we've got the next best thing, a ton of impressions on some of our favorite releases we couldn't get enough quality time with for a full critique. Between the cheat sheet after the break and our bevy of full reviews, you should have all that you need to be a 3DSpecialist at your local electronics retailer. Happy hunting! ... And, umm, sorry about saying "3DSpecialist." It was a long weekend.
Ubisoft releasing six 3DS games for European launch
Ubisoft announced an impressively large lineup of 3DS titles during Nintendo's 3DS event, all targeted at the period between launch and E3 in June. Today, during an earnings release, the company narrowed down the release dates for many of those titles, at least in Europe. According to the document, Asphalt 3D, Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs 3D, Rabbids 3D, Rayman 3D, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 3D, and Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars will all be released in EMEA territories in the quarter ending March 31. Since the 3DS will be out in Europe on March 25, we can safely call all six of these "launch games." As for North America, the document says only "US 3DS line-up to be confirmed later." However, if all of these games are done in time for the European launch, we can probably expect to see all of them in North America around late March too. This list leaves off two announced Ubisoft 3DS titles: James Noir's Hollywood Crimes and Driver Renegade. Couldn't get all eight games ready at once? We're disappointed, Ubisoft. Only six is an embarrassment.
3DS UK launch lineup revealed, Pilotwings makes the cut
Here's a thing that is weird: Nintendo has announced the software lineup set to drop day-and-date with the UK launch of the 3DS -- and it blows the handheld's Japanese launch titles right out of the water. There are 15 games due out on March 25, including four first-party offerings: Pilotwings Resort (which isn't listed on the Japanese launch roster) and three different Nintendogs and Cats games. Ubisoft's also making a strong showing on the launch lineup, providing Splinter Cell 3D, Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars and Rayman 3D on day one. Check out the full list after the jump, and keep your fingers crossed for an equally attractive North American launch list. Heck, you could even wish for a more attractive list, if you're feeling particularly optimistic.
