Where are all the new 3DS games??

[Vinniegambini]

Okay long post here incoming:

Firstly, I am very disappointed with Nintendo of America. I have bought 3 games for the 3DS and have yet to own the system (Kingdom Hearts, Mario Kart and Super Mario 3D). I am anxiously awaiting for a white 3DS XL and not the 'kiddie' colors they have released here. Furthermore, Nintendo of Europe is getting the Pikachu 3DS XL and a white Mario 3DS XL bundle while here in North America we get.....wait for it, nothing. Furthermore, NOE is having a promotion that gives any buyer of 3DS XL a free game.

Seriously, Iwata may be disappointed with the 3DS numbers in NOA but c'mon, show some support and give us the incentives that Japan and Europe gets and people will buy the console.

Now on to your question,

I am baffled on how many games were pushed to 2013 as I would think Nintendo would like to capitalize those Christmas shopping sales for 2012.

- Smash Bros will most likely be out by late 2013
- Pokemon remake of Ruby and Sapphire for 3DS (most likely) by year end Japan
- Bravely Default NA release

Out of the 5 titles you listed I am getting Animal Crossing, Monster Hunter and Fire Emblem. 2013 for 3DS is going to be a beast.
