Nintendo World 2011's 3DS games unveiled

by Ben Gilbert on Dec 28th 2010 11:00AM

Nintendo's official website for Nintendo World 2011, next month's public showing of the 3DS in Japan, has been updated, now highlighting the full list of games to be shown during the Tokyo event. Playable versions of everything from MGS3: Snake Eater to Pilotwings Resort will be on hand, though, bizarrely, some demos that were playable at this year's E3 will be for display only, including Starfox 64 3D.

Nintendo has also announced that the 3DS will make an appearance at next month's World Hobby Fair (also in Japan) and at two Japanese outlet shopping centers, according to 1UP. We suspect you'd find the shortest lines at those outlets, but, personally, we'd rather take our chances at the Makuhari Messe event to check out the long list of titles (found after the break) than watch a few demos at the local Uniqlo.

Cant wait to get all the lauch info from pricing to what games will be available at launch.

@SgtDookie

I wonder if Nintendo is hosting this Nintendo World with such focus on 3DS (and altogether announced it at last years E3 so suddenly) in order to clear way for the headlining announcement of Wii2 at this years E3?

So many games! Games! Games! Games!

@BenX02

Games! Games! Games! Monorail!

I haven't exactly been following the 3DS, have they announced a price for it yet? Or what the closes guess?

@dudes113

No price for the US yet but it'll probably be between 250 and 300.

Nintendo 3DS: The System of the Forever™

Wow. Bringing back OoT? That I did not know.

Whar's me wallet.

Wow. Thats a very impressive line-up.

I wonder will Nintendo launch the 3DS around Pokemon Black/White. That would be an interesting day.

THROWING MONEY AT YOU NINTENDO!! GIVE IT TO MEEEEEE!!

The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time wow just with that i'm convinced.!!!

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D

Whoa, how did I not know about this? Almost worth buying a 3DS for alone.

@jchan - Ocarina was the final seller for me. Starfox, Kid Icarus, Resident Evil and MGS were just shock-and-awe moments, one after another.

I hope Ocarina isn't just a graphical overhaul, but they add in a ton of other stuff (things they cut from the original) in a secondary playthrough/non-canonical way.

@jchan
Why would Ocarina of Time get you? Is it not the same game you've played numerous times, just with a 3D effect added?

@Railgun

Rumors speak of extra features, though i don't recall seeing that personally

@Railgun

Not just 3D, but enhanced graphics with tons more detail than its original form. It's enough to make even the smallest fan of the game squee.

Or in your case, probably not :P

Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D "The Naked Sample"

I don't see a *. That's really the official title of the game? Can they even fit that on a game box?

They will find a way :D

@Poor Tom Did they ever confirm that it was going to be a retail title? All I've heard was "it's just a hypothetical demo"

@hxczuner
Yes, Kojima confirmed that it will be an actual game, but probably not a launch title.

@Poor Tom

"The Naked Sample" is the title of the on-show demo.

"Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D" is the name of the actual game being released and will be developed from scratch rather than just a direct port.

I Love what Nintendo I'm glad they are getting the 3rd party support they deserve....and MGS3 SNAKE EATER 3D WOOT~!

I want a new borderlands on it. Borderlands in my pocket would ruin my life but I still want it. I mean the 3ds is powerful enough to handle it and out it will have wifi. Am I missing something here?

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RACER

Not that I actually care about it.

I just wanted to say it.

Aw Kingdom Hearts won't be playable? Dam! Any information I can get I'll take, I guess.

Nintendo, if you're listening... if you release a 3D F-Zero X with slightly improved graphics, you have all the money that can fit in Soundwave's cassette player. And that's one HUGE cassette player, man!

@Shockwave

....this, Majora's Mask, and SM RPG: Lot7S. I needs meh 3D Mallow...

Wow 3d Titled in almost every game. I guess this is the new 'Super' or '64' in every title for Nintendo.

@BlueTights another example that now one remembers the wii

WiiSports
WiiPlay
WiiMusic
WiiFit
New SMB Wii
blahblahblahWii

@BlueTights
It helps differentiate the games from their predecessors.

Or DS with the DS, including games like Dual Strike there were a ton that ended with DS.

@BlueTights

I prefer it that way. Do you know how many people a Xbox game with a PS game, or a PS2 with a PS3 game, or even a PS2 console with a PS3 one just because the name is not clear enough to make a difference?

At least they'll have a robust launch library, unlike the Wii's launch.

@False

That's a dumb statement. Which system do you remember as having a stellar launch lineup? Remember when the 360 just had Call of Duty 2 and Kameo? Remember when the PS3 had ... uh ... did they actually launch that with any games?

@A Sandwich
Well, unlike any current-gen consoles, the Xbox and Gamecube both launched with at least one killer app (Halo and Super Smash Bros. Melee, respectively). But yeah, I don't think there's ever been a system launch lineup quite as robust and varied as this.

@gatotsu911
The Gamecube didn't launch with Super Smash Bros. Melee. Melee released about a month later.

Gamecube had Luigi's Mansion. That was a great game, despite the criticism it recieved because it was the only mario-related release game and didn't hold a candle to the platforming genre.

Greatest Handheld EVER, if you say other wise i'm just gonna laugh at you.

I cant wait to find out the launch details. Gamestop wanted 50 bucks to preorder this thing, I wanna know how long my 50 dollar wait will be. Also looking forward to seeing some tales and doa action.

Anyone else hoping those 2 Resident Evil games are just combined into one TOTALLY AWESOME GAME ???

already taking the lead. that's a dream line-up

Wow most of the list is rehashes and remakes of old games. Is Nintendo creatively bankrupt these days? Are people dumb enough re-buy the same thing over and over again with an added gimmick? I guess we'll all see how it pans out in March 2011.

@miacosa Hell yes. I even do that for my psp.

They should of skipped goldeneye 007 on wii and made Goldeneye 64 3D and maybe some battle tanx 3D?

Can't wait for the new Bloodrayne...

@LENSconcept

It wasn't mentioned here, but there was mention of it in a back issue of Game Informer, I believe.

As much as I've enjoyed the DS' lineup, this is one of the most unimpressive lineups I've ever seen. It's full of ports, remakes, and 3D iterations of popular Nintendo IPs. And they're using the Pilotwings name on a port of Wii Sports Resort, which should show how far they're going to get as much content out for this system to avoid the first year slump that the DS had at first.

@CrashTunoku
Handheld launch/first-year lineups consisting primarily of ports and spinoffs is hardly a new trend. Just look at what came out for the GBA, DS and PSP in their early days (hell, this is still the majority of the PSP's library). Besides, working with familiar IPs allows developers to experiment with the capabilities of the system in a safe context, and what they learn can hopefully then be applied to more original games. And between a launch lineup consisting of tons of enhanced ports and remakes (and a few sequels), and a launch lineup consisting of one or two such games and otherwise low-budget garbage, which would you prefer?

The system is a purchase for sure but not a Day one with a line up of nothing but ports which I already own 90% of.

Layton? Nintedogs? Animal Crossing? I WANNA GO TO JAPAN.
