stop overreacting, the 3DS probably has the best upcoming line up of any platform. Fire Emblem is being localised by the end of the year, we're getting KH and Castlevania too. Paper Mario looks awesome. I'm pretty hyped about Shin Megami Tensei IV, though I'm expecting a PAL release by Ghostlight in late 2013/early 2014, so a long wait. Etrian Odyssey 4 looks pretty awesome too, but I haven't played any of the others; same with Layton 5. Project X Zone looks amazing. Luigi's Mansion 2 is pretty high up on my most wanted list too. Though it's not announced yet, I'm expecting NoE to announce a MH3G localisation for Q1 next year. Soul Hackers looks ace and I hope it will come westwards.The US is getting Code of Princess, I'm hoping NoE will do the honours for PAL regions. DQ Monsters will come over in the next year too. Also, there's that Lost Planet spin off that I like the looks of. And that's all assuming that nothing new gets announced at the 3DS conference.

Myself, I'm most excited for Fire Emblem coming over later this year. But the upcoming 3DS line up something for everybody and is just generally awesome.

Well it was a rage thread right after yesterdays E3. I have re-evaluated the day, and now I am not as sore over it as I was. In fact I would probably put it at a 7/10 now, compared to yesterday.

But you have to admit that Nintendo has neglected the West with the 3DS so far.

I wouldn't say they've neglected it, just launched too early and then this year failed to plug the gap which I assume was originally meant to be filled by Mario Kart 7 (I believe it was moved forward to 2011 when the 3DS had it's initial post-launch problems).

In January they started the year by localising and publishing Resident Evil: Revelations (and did a fantastic job too, with 5 language audio iirc).  February saw Dillon's Rolling Western.  March saw Kid Icarus Uprising.  April was kind of empty and then last month saw Mario Tennis Open.  I wouldn't call that neglect, just reflecting a low point in Nintendo's uneven spread of releases.

In general I would say that NoE has handled the 3DS very well so far, from the excellent localisation of RE:R to giving out free downloads of Excitebike and Kid Icarus.  The Wii has been neglected (in many ways IMO rightly so), the 3DS is not and is benefitting from it.
