Nintendo has promised more than 30 new 3DS games between Mar 27 and early June. Currently, Nintendo has 20 listed on their website. It’s unclear what the other 10+ may or may not be.

That said, of the 20 listed, which are you most excited to play? Having got my hands on many of the games listed, I’m going with Steeldiver, Zelda Ocarina, and Pilotwings in that order.

  1. I thought Zelda Ocarina wasn't out until after E3? Anyway, I'm exited for pilotwings.

  2. Buy:
    Pilotwings Resort, nintendogs + cats

    Rent first:
    Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition, Steel Diver, Kid Icarus: Uprising

    But overall I'm really excited for the 3D camera and the AR games.

    And 3D Miis!

  3. Definitely Pilotwings. I can't believe they never made a Wii version. The N64 version is STILL a beautiful game.

  4. Nintendogs, Star Wars, PilotWings, and Super Monkey Ball. Maybe Street Fighter, but I'm undecided.

    Still hoping Nintendo manages to squeeze Ocarina in before E3, or at least before September.

  5. Looking forward to a lot of the software!

    Nintendogs + cats, PilotWings, Street Fighter, Steel Diver, Kid Icarus…

    And eventually I'll get my Star Fox. <3 I'm crossing my fingers that they'll announce a new version for Wii using Wii MotionPlus at E3.

    Looking forward to the system functions, too. I'm wondering if my mom might have fun taking 3D pictures. I'm planning on taking it to a wedding and taking some 3D shots, too. 🙂

    Of course, I'm curious how the 3D will look/work and if it will help create new games that can bring in a lot of people. I'm skeptical that it will have the impact of the DS's touch screen and mic or the Wii's motion controls, but I'm taking a wait-and-see approach.

    More than anything, I'm looking forward to StreetPass and SpotPass, though. I really hope they deliver on the original promise of WiiConnect24. 😀

  6. Nintendogs, Pilotwings, Steel Diver and Starfox top my list. The "Maybe" list includes Ocarina and Street Fighter IV. DOA only if it gets unexpectedly spectacular reviews.

  7. Wait…OOT3D is a launch title now?! Alright, I definitely have a reason to get a 3DS! =P I wish they'd release a Zelda themed 3DS with the Triforce plastered over the front though.

  8. Looking forward to some Kid Icarus, SSFIV 3D and Some OoT 3D

    @John from Leicester OoT 3D wont be available at the launch of the 3DS, but is slated within the launch window and should be ready shortly after E3 2011 if there aren't any delays between now and then.

  9. Steel Diver is my most highly anticipated game. I tried the original DS demo at the San Diego Comic-con years ago, and I've since downloaded that demo and put it on my R4. In fact, it's my absolute favorite DS game (or at least in the top 2) even though is just a super short demo.

  10. Dead or Alive Dimensions, Super Street Fighter 4 3D, and Blazeblue Calamity Shift (I think that's the full title of it).

  11. well zelda goes without saying but im hoping ubisoft gives us a quality port of rayman 2 because i have never played it but being a fan of platformers its always been on my to do list

  12. Street Fighter and Resident Evil

    Doesn't seem like a strong launch though, but then again most launches aren't. I'm really excited for future titles like Paper Mario and Mario Kart
