LEGO City and Luigi's Mansion are both scheduled to come to NA in 2012 from Nintendo. Luigi's Mansion and Professor Layton 5 are coming to Europe in 2012. Animal Crossing and Paper Mario are both listed as 2012 in Japan, but as TBA in EU/NA Pokemon Black/White 2 are due this fall. New Super Mario Bros. 2 will be available at both retail and download. NSMB2 will have download codes available at stores, prices will likely be close for physical and digital copies. Most Nintendo published titles after NSMB2 will be available as both retail and download. Nintendo has other first party titles lined up for this year, but aren't announcing them now. We'll likely see some new titles at E3.

This was a meeting to discuss their financial results for the year, and give their investors a glimpse into what they are planning. They'll have these quarterly, and they usually have some interesting tidbits inside like those we got last night.

Was this just to announce release dates? I assume they will be releasing most of these games before the holidays, like SM3DL and MK7.

Online was barely even a thing in the console space when Wii and DS were in development, and Nintendo didn't see it exploding like it did. Therefore neither console were built with that in mind. It also doesn't really seem to have hurt them either.
Really my only complaint is that the eShop and stuff like this wasn't up at the launch of the 3DS, but even then its not something I'm hugely concerned about either way.

^That and Nintendo is slow with giving us these nice things.
Really like how Nintendo are making their games after NSMB2 digitally available. Kinda confused as to why they haven't done it sooner though, with Sony and Microsoft having already been doing this for years.
Probably because the Wii's online store has redicoulosly small data size limits.

Kinda wish they'd given us a definitive release date for Black and White 2 too. Japan already know the release date, but I guess until localisation is significantly underway they have no way of knowing the exact release date for it.
Lol'ing at how AC and Paper Mario are mentioned together. My insignificant other and I are having a small debate as to whose game is going to come out first (I vote AC and vice versa). Can't wait to rub it in his face when I'm right. :P

Me as well, I'll likely go retail for most games as it gives you more rights as a consumer and 1-2 gigs worth of downloads is slooooooow.
The only games I see myself downloading are niche titles that don't get a localized retail release, like Unchained Blade Rexx. Hopefully more titles like this will get translated and sold this way since it involves less risk.
