Nintendo 3DS Launch Day Games Lineup Revealed

Nintendo today revealed the sixteen games that will be available for the Nintendo 3DS on the very day it launches in North America, March 27. The company had previously muddied the waters a bit with talk of a "launch window" lineup that actually included all titles released between the handheld's lanch and E3 in June.

Nintendo itself is publishing three of the launch day titles, each with a suggested retail price of $39.99, while the other thirteen are from third-party publishers.

Nintendo-published titles

• Pilotwings Resort

• Steel Diver

• nintendogs + cats

Third-party publisher titles

• Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition

• The Sims 3

• Madden NFL Football

• Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 3D

• LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars

• Ridge Racer 3D

• Super Monkey Ball 3D

• Bust-a-Move Universe

• Samurai Warriors: Chronicles

• Asphalt 3D

• Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs 3D

• Rayman 3D

• Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Shadow Wars

The 3D-supporting Nintendo 3DS will cost $249.99 when it launches in North America on March 27. The European launch will come on March 25, with no set price due to regulations. Left to create their own prices, many European retailers are duking it out between themselves to see who can offer the biggest bargain.
