Nintendo dropped a rather large press bomb of releases, and it paints an interesting picture. WiiWare and DSiWare are not getting much support from Nintendo (which anyone who has been following the downloads can attest to) but the 3DS eShop is, as is the 3DS retail section.
We’ve got a couple of interesting release dates, like Mario Party 9 for the Wii on March 11th, Rhythm Heaven Fever for the Wii on February 13th and Kid Icarus: Uprising for the 3DS on March 23rd.
Now remember this is only a partial list of early 2012, but it’s an interesting look at what we’ve got coming.
