Nintendo 3DS has potentially amazing, wallet-crippling launch line-up, our pennies start to weep

Well kiss our grits and call us Sally May. We’ve already been told the Nintendo 3DS launch date and price, but now we’ve got a pretty firm idea of what games will be accompanying the system from day one, too. Below, you’ll find a video of the launch line-up, which includes The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Kid Icarus: Uprising, and Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3DS. Safe to say, next March is going to be pretty harsh on our impoverished wallets.

If all the games in the above video really do make the launch we’re screwed. C’mon…

Kid Icarus Uprising
Mario Kart 3DS
Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D: The Naked Sample
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
Pilotwings Resorts
Paper Mario 3DS
Resident Evil Revelation
Resident Evil: The Mercenaries
Star Fox 64 3D
Animal Crossing 3DS


Above: Damn you Nintendo! DAMN YOU!

Yeah, if even half of these live up to their potential, we’ll be in organ-harvesting territory. We’ve offered them before, but if anyone’s in need of some semi abused livers, we’ll gladly listen to offers.
