Eight 3DS Launch Day Titles Named
While Nintendo and many third-party publishers are remaining painfully vague about which 3DS games will actually be available on day 1, MCV claims it has confirmation of eight games due alongside the 3DS on March 25th.

Four of them are a pretty safe bet, having come direct from a Ubisoft release schedule: Asphalt 3D, Rayman 3D, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Shadow Wars 3D and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 3D (we're hoping publishers' need to put '3D' in the name of every 3DS title will evaporate soon).

MCV states that retail sources have also confirmed Nintendogs + cats, Street Fighter IV, PES 2011 and LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars for day 1 launch as well, however. While only eight titles were named, MCV is claiming that there will be '10+' titles available.

Nintendo is claiming 25-30 titles will be out for the 3DS over the 'launch window'. That window, however, is an unhelpful two months long. According to Nintendo it runs from the 3DS's actual launch on March 25th right through to E3 in early June. A list of those titles can be found here.

Most of these games are remakes. There is nothing really new that's coming out at launch. I've preorder my 3ds already. But I was hopeing for a brand new IP. Would have been nice to have a good FPS at lunch. This must be the last year for the Wii. There is only about 25 games coming out for Wii from what I saw in Nintendo Power this year. E3 will be interesting for Nintendo this year. Hope Smash Brothers comes to the 3DS this year or next.
