You complain about Japan only releases, so somebody posts all the US release dates, then you complain that they're not Europe release dates. You're shifting the goalposts.

Last time I checked they had no release dates outside of placeholder dates which aren't really dates, if these are actual dates I was mistaken about japan only. My original point of a weak lineup still remains, those games are mostly average at best with only one or two standing out, if they aren't worldwide the line up can still be called weak. |
The whole point is that, for the hardware to keep up the hots, it needs consitent must haves or 2 to 3 like-to-have. For reference, check up on PSP releases in Japan. It has constant stream of new releases that people actually want to buy.
Last year E3, we saw so much support for 3DS that we thought it would do gangbuster as soon as it's released because of so many games are announced and developers pledged support.
I'll chart it up to 3rd parties just teasing Nintendo again like they did the Wii. Many broken promises.

| Xxain said: No No No Nintendo is not the victim, they may actually be the badies( in the sense of teasing) and fans for believe the fake list alot of that is just ideas with no blueprint on real hardware choice.. the "We pledge are support" list is a old age gimmick to help Xxcite, Fans,other Developers not quite on and investors, Those are just a list a ppl they approached and the developer said sure .. and NINTENDO MS and SONY add them to the list... doesnt actually Mean anything is production though..just a confirmation we will support it... when and how much wasnt clarified. Basically you jump the gun |
It doesn't really affect me since I don't have the time for 1 new game per week. At most, 1 per month (but still ended up buying more than I could possibly play).
Dry spell may be an exaggeration, more like occasionally drizzle :)
Back on "the list", didn't 3DS have one of the biggest list of support ever?

Shinobi and Sonic Generations are coming out this year.
Wouldn't be surprised to see a COD before Christmas.
Dk when Nano Assault is releasing but im almost certainly getting it.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
well that mario game. Whenever that comes out. I'll buy a 3ds. Starfox and Ocarina.

Hold on, as far as I can tell, only 2 games were confirmed, then cancelled. Nothing else has had release dates confirmed or anything.

you damn right it did... and even more reason to question it. Look at Kinect, Kojima nearly feinted at the tech... wheres Kojima's Galaki? Wheres SE, Namco Bandai? you know all those developers the "pledged" support? MS is the only person makin kinect games Vita had 79 Japanese developers .. why was there only 3 Japanese games one from SONY if they had so many hmmm? phony thats what.. not to say those developers wont they jusy dont have anything now |
The manufacturer's obviously compile a list of all the developers that have dev kits. They then list these developers as supporters and name their projects as TBA or list what the publisher developer tells them to list. Having seen the list last year I am not all that suprised most of the games promised on that list are coming to reality. Heck I never dreamed I would own a platform with Dead Or Alive, Street Fighter and Tekken and the new rumour that one of NamcoBandai's products could be a new Soul Caliber.
The only thing is the list of say 30 confirmed projects from last E3 hasn't grown this year. The developers are still making the games and as such the games haven't been revealed. To call 3DS launch weak would be insaine during the launch months several multi-million unit franchises came to 3DS. They may not have sold those million units but the franchises were strong.
I think the same thing will happen to Vita. Sony announced tons of projects but they won't all be in the launch window and many will take a year or two to develop. Sony will have a choice launch all of its big guns (First Party games) in the launch window, or spread them out like Nintendo is doing. Both strategies have their advantages.
Anyways I don't think the line-up lacking for two or three months is anything to whine about. The line-up is good enough for me!
