Who's got the free time to keep an eye on every single piece of software due out for the Nintendo 3DS? Certainly not us -- that's why we're so pleased the video below came our way: It's a demo reel of almost every single 3DS game announced so far, and it only takes a scant five minutes to view.
[Thanks, David!]

Is that just a remake of Kingdom Hearts 1? Looked a lot like the first trip through Twilight Town.

@piratenab D'oh! I didn't even think about that. I just saw Twilight Town crawling with Shadows. Hopefully this one is more like Birth By Sleep and less like 358/2 Days.

The sub game looks fun but certainly nothing cutting edge.
I noticed during movie previews last night not one for a 3d movie. I think the fad is dying, nintendo being on the back end. 2 gil

Awesome games.
Now, having seen the graphics are similar to Wii, I really really really want Super Mario Galaxy 3D!

The racing games reminded me of some bad iphone titles. That's certainly a genre that is not meant for handheld gaming..

@Arkard Racing games play fine on handhelds that have physical controls. I spent more time playing Ridge Racer on the PSP than probably any other title.
Asphalt 3D looks like an iPhone game, because it's a long-running series that's existed on phones since before even the iPhone. Ridge Racer 3D is looking better every time they show it, and it will probably run at 60fps like the console iterations.

@Arkard yeah mario kart looked good, and I'm not even as big a fan of the series as I was during the SNES/N64 games.
Also, motion controls work well in some of those racing games. It takes time to get used to them, but once you do, it's not a detriment like getting used to virtual analogue sticks on a shooter. Some games have more accurate control than others. I also think that most of the iPhone racers just suck in general, so it shouldn't be attributed to the input.

@182
The first one is a remake of the PS2 RPG "Tales of the Abyss", the second is "Cubic Ninja".

@182 The first game looks at it from the tales series I do recognize the second one.

So. Now we need a sequel to The World Ends With You. This time you have to battle enemies in 2D and 3D at the same time.
Really though, please let this happen.

Nice to see new footage from a lot of these games... except MGS3D. For one of the most heavily promoted titles on the system, it doesn't appear to be very far along in development.
Lately I've been shifting more and more toward the "wait for the inevitable second iteration" camp, but if any game of the ones announced so far has the power to sway me, it'll probably be Paper Mario. Just looking at those few seconds of it had my nostalgia glands flaring up. (bizarre metaphors FTW)

This game lineup actually looks really good. I'm totally buying one if I can afford it when it comes out. If I can't, I'll just wait for the inevitable nicer looking, more portable 2nd revision. 3DS Lite.

A few decent games spread out between a bunch of shovelware, is this the new trend Nintendo?
Posted: Jan 9th 2011 12:40PM isotrex said
Great lineup. I'd wait for a 2nd gen of this one for better battery life or something. haha. Unless, I can't hold myself just buy it. The temptation. lol.

There's only a few I'm excited about from the video: Super Street Fighter IV 3D, Super Monkey Ball 3DS (any game that has kart racing AND Smash Bros. Brawl fighting is a win -- now Sega needs to do a proper Super Smash Bros. Brawl Sega game with ALL their characters), Blazblue Continuum Shift II, Raving Rabbid platformer, and Professor Layton & The Mask of Miracle. Pilotwings 3DS, Mario Kart 3DS & Kid Icarus: Uprising look great, Kid Icarus especially. That game looks like Sin & Punishment and that's always a good thing.

The graphics in some of these games look really good. Resident Evil looks almost identical to the console version in terms of graphics. I'm excited for the next generation of handhelds! Now Sony just needs to announce the new PSP.

ummm when does this come out in america?

3DS does Gamecube level graphics, no? I have a feeling the new price for games is gonna be $39.99, with some reaching into $44.99 territory.

Was that a Shin megami Tensei game I saw at 3:31? I can make out characters from Devil Survivor for one second but it's a dungeon crawler (from what I can tell).

I was really hoping for some footage of the new Bloodrayne..

Man, I hope they bring the port of Tales of the Abyss over to Europe so that we finally get a chance to play it.

There seems to be a large disparity in graphics quality in these games. Some games look Gamecube quality, and some high-end Wii quality, and some games look borderline 360 quality (DOA, Resident Evil, SSF4). Even Kid Icarus looks a LOT better than it did at E3 last year. Starfox looks ridiculously cool. I have no doubt that by the end of this systems life-cycle we will be seeing games at near 360 quality or on par.

I'm really excited for this. I really want to play games like star fox because my older brothers did not let me have more then five minutes to play back in yhe day because they always took the remote away from me. Now they can't do anything, right?

Had no idea they were doing a Splinter Cell game for this - as long as the controls arent as awkward as the last DS version, I'm sold!
Not that I wasnt already sold - as soon as I can pre order, this thing is mine! Since they announced the 3DS there have been at least 10 games I've seen that I'm already in love with. March can't come soon enough

For serious? No Gamestops? I know they have em in Germany, so it seems strange they don't have em in the UK.
