3DS looks to be pretty set for the rest of the year in Japan with Rhythm Heaven Plus & Fire Emblem If in June, Yokai Watch Busters & Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer in July, Dragon Quest VIII in August, Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon in September, Monster Hunter X & Yokai Watch 3 for the holidays.

The west however does not look nearly as stacked, so far we know about Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash, Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer & Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon (2016 in Europe) for the fall. There is also Return to Popolocrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale getting localized which basically serves as a Fantasy Life replacement so not a huge title but a nice addition nontheless.

I can't see Chibi-Robo being a big seller and I'm actually kinda surprised it's not a $10-15 eShop title, seems like a way to sell Amiibo's to  collectors. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon is a relatively big series although the most recent entry sold quite a bit less that previous entries but if this one is received better perhaps it can sell better than Gates to Infinity. Animal Crossing is typically a huge series but this one is more of a spinoff that seems like there is much less to do (that may change as we get more info on the game) but Amiibo cards could perhaps push units as well.

I could see some games already released in Japan getting localized like Style Savvy 3 or Rhythm Heaven Plus from Nintendo &  Final Fantasy Explorers from 3rd parties. None of these titles are likely to be huge but a combination of a bunch of small-medium sized games could perhaps do the trick. This is also going to be the New 3DS first holiday so we could see them push it heavily with deals/bundles or perhaps the smaller version coming to the states.

E3 is just about a week away, will Nintendo announce a big title for the fall or will they focus on these small-medium sized games and deals/bundles for the holidays? And what potential big hitters do u see releasing?

Don't think it will have one. Nx will be the next handheld in my mind and it's coming next year. No need to waste a major title on a handheld nearing the end of its life

Pokemon Z. Youkai Watch.

Ya I think u may be right, I am expecting at least one more moderately big game to be announced for a worldwide holiday release, perhaps a new Mario & Luigi? But I'm not expecting any mega sellers, a few mid-size 1st party titles, some Japanese localizations, kid-friendly western titles & discounts/bundles will probably be what we see this fall.

I thought Yokai Watch wasn't coming west until next year? And I'm not sure they would release a mainline Pokémon & Mystery Dungeon so close together, but perhaps they would.

Oh, maybe.  I remembered reading in 2014 that it was coming "next year", but it seems like that was pushed back to 2016.

Weird.  Wonder what's taking so long.

Ya I was thinking that would have been a nice title to have this holiday but 2016 is looking pretty nice so far with Fire Emblem, Yokai Watch & Bravely Second all confirmed.

With this being the 30th anniversary of Super Mario, I guess a new Mario title of some sort would be logical, maybe a new Super Mario Land? A new Mario & Luigi? A new Paper Mario?

I for one want Love Plus

Has that series ever been localized?
