Not a terrible list, but it lacks some of the "oopmh" of last year's lineup. Not to say that this will be a bad year, I mean, look at the list, but I doubt that NSMB2 a few months later can match Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land in rapid succession.

If anything, I'm reminded of Fall into holidays 2009 for the DS. You had a bunch of good and great games (Bowser's Inside Story, Spirit Tracks, Layton 2, Scribblenauts, Kingdom Hearts, etc.), but no huge system sellers. And coincidentally or not, this is when the DS began to decline.

I'm probably just being pessimistic. Pokemon Black/White 2 is easy money for Nintendo, and will even sell some 3DS's. I just think they could have been better off if they were 3DS games.

Also to note, Guild 01 might come over to North America since two of four included games have been registered trademarks for a US release. Probably just those two games alone and a eShop release.

True.  No way they were gonna top last year though, especially in Japan (MK7, SM3DL, and MH3G).  I expect more big guns for next holiday though.

Seriously? LM2 2013... SERIOUSLY?! Really nothing to push hardware besides Mario. Even Nintendo is biased towards Japan obviously :(

But yeah, at least gives us more money to spend on the Wii U!

Wow at that Layton trailer!

I've never seen the 3D city before! This is a must buy among must buys

"Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon will now be available in the first half of 2013 in the Americas."

Since the game got delayed, that gives me plenty of time to play the first game, which I didn't!!


(lol, people say this all the time, most likely I'll never play it... even though I would like it for sure)

BTW is this confirmed to be US only, or it's a worldwide delay?

See the charts below for a partial list of upcoming games and software for hand-held Nintendo systems (details subject to change).

Just US at the moment. I'm guessing this is also worldwide as well since I don't see Europe getting it much sooner than us. (No, I'm not just so you guys can suffer too!)
