If you would kindly remove games "announced" at E3 2010 that we haven't heard anything about since then. EG, "Persona 3DS." They may not be vaporware, but if they were announced 3 years ago and no one has mentioned them since, it's safe to assume they're not coming any time soon.

The 3DS's real third-party library is decent enough to stand on its own without support from imaginary games.

Quite a turnaround I must say, sales wise and game wise. I'm still not quite interested in getting one yet, but I'm getting there. I'm hoping for one more price drop, or a job, which ever comes first lol. Then I might get one. To me the issue isn't the cost of the hardware so much, but the cost of the games. $30-$40 is just too much for handheld games. $20 should be the average IMO.

Anyway, the big question is, can they repeat the same turnaround with the Wii U?

The last Nintendo direct was far more impressive and that was exclusively for the Wii U, so I don't get all the hubbub.

The 3DS didn't need that kind of ND. It already had a great line-up for 2013 before today. Now it has an even better one.

I wish they would have made a new DKC rather than just making it 3d. I already beat DKCR

LOL, it's NOT vaporware:

Dragon Ball 3DS was announced on April 2010 and again in 2013, that's practically 3 whole years later for any new info........same goes for Batman 3DS, but yeah it's best to wait later during 2013 for more news about Dragonball (which we got some) & batman & ninja Gaiden & persona new.

I forgot to mention Assassin's creed 3DS (NOT Lost Legacy, but the one they mentioned after they said they where canceling this one)

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

It has Ace Attorney 5 & Professor Layton VS. Ace Attorney, and both are getting Localize.

Are there any other games you would also want on the 3DS?
