Looking at the upcoming releases for 3DS, I don't see any must have games until September for Starfox64 3D, which is another remake.

What happened to the 3rd parties games?

Well Resident evil Merceneries is coming next week!

Which leaves July - August empty?

It's something after OOT though but I can't say any games for August...

Unfortunately the 3ds was rushed to the market for some reason. Terrible launch line up and average online infrastructure.........friend codes again?Come on Nintendo.

Welcome to owning a system in its launch year!

I guess that sales won't rise until Christmas then, right?
Luckily there lots of great DS games out there for those who bought a 3DS and didn't already own a DS, who might not be many.

This Christmas we will see it rise with super Mario 3D and Mario kart 3D, can't see it not going higher for these games.

The Japanese release calender looks a bit better.
Tales of the Abyss in June and
Super Pokemon Scramble, Starfox 3D, Unchain Blades Rexx and Doctor Lautrec in July.
It's true there could be more releases, but it isn't so bad. I guess most publishers will aim for the winter holidays.

wel a persona game is coming in august lol and still no word on tales of the abyss western release, but at least its this year.
