It's release date madness today, as Nintendo's American and European wings have announced countless release dates for Wii, DS and 3DS games.
For North America, the biggest news is Kid Icarus: Uprising's release date of 23rd March, but there's a bit more to discover in the list below; Rayman Origins is on course for a release in the first quarter, for instance.
As before Nintendo remarks this is a partial list of upcoming games, so if your favourite game — let's say, just for instance, Animal Crossing — isn't there, don't panic.

Uh-oh..
and Ubi said Rayman Origins 3DS would release in 2011 but when it wasn't even included somewhere on the official Rayman Origin's website I had my fears.. Good to see it will be available soon (:
if the NCIS game is any good, that would be a day one buy for me
Where is my Animal Crossing??
Heroes of Ruin and Monster Hunter Tri G are the 2 im most looking forward to.
Won't you take me to.....Funky Barn!
@JayArr
Hahaha so I am not the only one who thought that
Can I just say one thing?
...nintendolife... YOU'VE BEEN ON A ROLL WITH NEWS!!!
O_O WHAT HAPPENED?!!!
With all this news, you'd think it was e3 or something!
I played the original Crush on PSP a few years ago. It was good, but not $40 good. I think I got the original for $7. Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, and the Circle Pad Pro have me the most excited.
Sweet, thats good that tekken 3D and snake eater are coming out in Q1of next year. All the games on this list sound good, cant wait for next year. Im hoping that Roller Coaster Tycoon 3D comes out in Q1 too.
@Skotski That's what happens when two branches of Nintendo announce release dates for the next four months
will kid icarus need the circle pad pro? cause i don't want to spend extra money on a asceserie
yay for tid itarus
Hear come the shovel ware : (
@Kitty_hime1 Nope, not required at all.
Uh...Paper Mario...where are yooooouuuuu...? But I'm not panicking, luckily...
Man, I was hoping Kid Icarus would hit in February. Ah well.
What were's the new Fire Emblem 3ds game and why haven't Nintendolife commented on this upcoming game??!
@tactical_Crow Because there's nothing to comment on: it was announced in September but that's all we have so far. When there's more, we'll post it, I assure you
Sigh... No Kingdom hearts 3d... I wanted to see Neku in 3D by my birthday. (March 31st, which is ever so conveniently located at the EXACT end of the first quarter). Oh well. Soon enough I guess.
Tekken is on that list Resident Evil and Tekken will be the next 3DS games I get.
Kid icarus comes out on my birthday! Sweet!
Hrm... no Animal Crossing.
The only one that's one my radar out of these is Resident Evil. I wish we had at least gotten vague release dates for Animal Crossing, Paper Mario and Luigi's Mansion 2.
Looking forward to Tekken, Kid Icarus, Heroes of Ruin, Mutant Mudds, Rolling Western, Paper Mario, Monster Hunter 4, and I'm sure I'm missing others. The 3DS is on a roll.
Also, the guy in that photo is super cute.
February 14th is a day to remember.
ill be buying NONE of these. sorry nintendo, but sony has earned my money
Sweet, I was thinking of getting the Wii version of Rayman Origins but I might wait and see if the 3DS version is any good.
I was hoping that Animal Crossing and Paper Mario would be announced (and they still might be) but I didn't expect it. Gamestop predicted August of 2011. Judging by what I've seen, I would expect they will be Summer of 2012 games. Animal Crossing looks complete but it is a very text heavy game and that will take a while to translate. Paper Mario doesn't look complete to me judging by the trailers I've seen and Paper Mario will also need to be translated. Maybe they are already ready and translated but I still think it will take a while. MK 7 is going to have to last me a while because there isn't much coming out in the spring.
I want Paper Mario!!! Hurry up IS!!! xD
I'm getting Rayman for Wii. I'll get this one if it gets a 9 out of 10 (or better) and it has multiplayer.
@19 it was practically announced a month or two ago...
lol only 4 are shovelware
Tekken Prime and Kid Icarus are insta-buys.
Went ahead and got the Wii version of Rayman Origins.
Of course it's not a complete list. Theres no Animal Crossing.
it will be
resident Evil Revelation
Tales of Aybss
Kid Icarus
for me on that list
In the picture, is that guy using a 3DS with a new colour?
That definitely isn't Aqua Blue, that's for sure...
...
No.
Give me Kid Icarus now!
I could have sworn Paper Mario and Luigi's Mansion were coming in January. Come to think about it, I don't recall seeing any 1st party titles on the list.
@StarDust What do you call Kid Icarus?
AWW! I thought Kid Icarus was coming out on my birthday...Ah well...that leaves room for a game that is already out that I want.
Tekken and Kid Icarus for me, Revelations is a maybe right now. And I will get the Jak and Daxter collection in February.
Luigi's Mansion will still take some time I see.
i heard they were making an anime of kid icarus for nintendo video i hope that's not just in japan (im still jealous of how the british got shaun the sheep on nintendo video T.T)
Ahem! Paper Mario and LM2? :/
Sweet! Resident Evil, Tales of the Abyss, and Tekken all in the same month. looks for money
@36 That, my friend, is what us photographers call lighting.
Anyways there's no must have title for me in there. Revelations and Icarus are maybes, Abyss is an eventually.
Monster Hunter 3G please.
Nice...
But what about the Ambassador GBA games?! It's just about that time, Nintendo.
lots of lovin' in February, eh? hopefully all these games will help me pass my loneliness
I'm guessing that Animal Crossing will be formally announced (with a real name) at E3 2012, and will carry a Holiday 2012 release date. A release before then is just unrealistic; a game like this takes a lot of work.
No, never. Never ever ever.
Slight disappointment at not seeing Paper Mario, but I'll live. I want it to be good, not rushed.
Looking forward to getting funky with Funky Barn.
I have to disagree with James line about Animal Crossing and such because this likely IS the complete list of 1st party titles.
Now games like Heroes of Ruin still have a chance to release in Q1, though.
That's good and all but i want Super Smash Bros. Universe man
