Nintendo Q1 2012 release line-up features Mario Party 9, Kid Icarus: Uprising
Nintendo and third parties reveal what's coming soon
What's in store for Nintendo console owners in the first quarter of 2012? Quite a bit, actually. 3DS users have plenty to look forward to, including Metal Gear Solid 3D Snake Eater, Tales of the Abyss, and the long-awaited Kid Icarus: Uprising. Nintendo's eShop is getting its fair share of notable titles such as VVVVVV, Nightsky, and Mighty Switch Force!
Less titles are showing up on the DS and Wii though there are a few worthwhile games to pick up. Wii owners will want to get their hands on Mario Party 9, Rhythm Heaven Fever, and indie platformer La Mulana from WiiWare. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 for Nintendo DS should be a highlight for RPG fans everywhere.
