So, when do you think the next big 3DS boost will be? I'm thinking that the Q1 games will provide small boosts with bundled hardware (like the special Metal Gear and Kingdom Hearts 3DS's), and we'll see a huge year over year around summer, when Animal Crossing may come out.

Kingdom Hearts will probably bring a boost to America and Kid Icarus (going off of old NES game) will most likely bring a boost to Japan. Luigi's Mansion will probably bring a boost to all Coutrt's since it's part of the Mario series. When do you predict Animal Crossing will come out?


Based on how EAD Group 2 hasn't released a game since 2009, sooner rather than later. I'm thinking the 3DS will have Kid Icarus in March, Luigi's Mansion 2 in the Spring, Paper Mario and Animal Crossing in the Summer, and Fire Emblem and Mario Tennis around the holidays, along with some currently unannounced title.

This is based partially on fact and partially on guesswork.

You're right KI actual has a release date: March 22nd in Japan and the 23rd in America. EAD 2 has had quite a while to produce another game. Spring seems like the right time for both AC and LM2 in my opinion. With all these 1st party titles and 3rd part titles for the 3DS in 2012 the 3DS's dales may never go too bad. What do you think?
