Looks pretty bad really.
They better launch something decent with the Wii U. Thinking Mario at the least.

That's pretty horrid. Only one I'd be particularly interested in is VVVVVV but I got it for dirt cheap for PC and knowing Nintendo, they'd probably charge some bs price for it.

So 3DS looks like being pretty much a 2-3 game console for probably another 6 months? Damn.

Devil Survivor 2, Kid Icarus and Resident Evil are all titles I'm interested in. Rhythm Heaven is a maybe as the DS game was nowhere near as good as the GBA one, but I'll give a Wii version a chance if it's on the cheap.

Resident Evil should be pretty good. I'll probably bite on Kid Icarus too, but the ground levels are nowhere near as fun as the flight levels, which are really awesome. MGS3DS would have been an instant buy if it wasn't clear Konami doesn't give a shit about it.
A weak three months but that's to be expected from a system that seems to have bugger all games. Oh well.

The 3DS currently feels like the Gamecube, waiting months on end just for those handful of good games. Which is incredibly disappointing considering every generation, the Gameboy has always delivered.

Wii U really feels like it will flop. I think Nintendo should go back to the drawing board, I don't see what the extra screen will go the next console.

I could see the Wii-u being awesome if everyone got an extra screen. Crystal Chronicals on the cube really convinced me that having a small screen on your controller can be fucking awesome for multiplayer games.
As it is though, with only one controller with a fancy screen thing it just seems... fucking pointless.

Level-5 can take their time with Phoenix Wright vs Professor Layton, but I still hope that Capcom will localise Ace Attorney Investigations 2 for the west. If they translated all the previous AA games and even Ghost Trick, why not this??

Because of Ghost Trick, that game bombed hard in the west.

Which is an absolute tragedy.  I'd have loved to see a sequel, it's such a great game and concept.
As for the European release list, it's no better than the U.S one if you ask me. Being reminded of the lack of Devil Survivor 2 does nothing to make me feel better.  Time to import, as usual.

I know, game was fucking amazing, some of the best animation in games this year and it was on a hand held.

Can back this up.. although, may have just been temporary/pre-order boxes, I didn't look too closely.

Doesn't seem like the kind of thing they'd bother with preorder boxes for, but considering the limited 3DS library, you never know
