New Nintendo

Last night, Nintendo streamed the lastest in their series of online conferences, in which they talk about upcoming games and reveal new trailers and release dates. While many were lead to believe this Nintendo Direct conference would feature both Wii and 3DS announcements, news concerning the Wii was absent. Perhaps the console is in more trouble next year than we thought when it comes to its software line-up.

Anyways, while the reveals were not as big as those at the conference back in September, a lot of new information was tossed around.

Unfortunately, due to ZeldaInformer being down, and half the staff being gone for the holidays, we were unable to cover the event as it aired last night. However, I have done my best to arrange all the important information into one post.

First of all here are the Japanese release dates:
1/12: Ghost Camera
1/12: Ace Combat 3D
1/19: Rhythm Thief R
1/19: Beyond the Labyrinth
1/26: Resident Evil Revelations
2/24: New Love Plus
2/16: Tekken 3D Prime Edition
2/16: Theatrhythm Final Fantasy
2/23: Harvest Moon: Hajimari no Daichi
3/1: Mario and Sonic at the 2012 London Olympic Games
3/8: Metal Gear Solid 3D
3/8: Hatsune Miku and Future Stars Project Mirai
3/8: Girl’s RPG
3/15: Dynasty Warriors Next
March: Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance
3/22: Kid Icarus: Uprising
4/19: Fire Emblem 3DS
