Plus the full title for the upcoming Jett Rocket game!

Not to be outdone by Europe, Nintendo of America announced the dates for their upcoming software in the first quarter of 2012. Among the casualties are Kid Icarus Uprising, Mario Party 9, PokePark 2: Wonders Beyond and Rhythm Heaven Fever.

There aren't many suprises found on this list, although two things on the Nintendo eShop list deserve a mention. First off, there is Kirby's Block Ball, a Game Boy classic that we will possibly see pop up on the 3DS Virtual Console in the months to come. Next to this, we found a listing for Jett Rocket Super Surf, which could be the new Jett Rocket title mentioned by developer Shin'en earlier in the year.

February 27 I know one Dinosaur of an Alaskan will be excited.
On the 3DS there are a couple games I might pick up.  Wii not so much.

[Retro Deckades]

Glad to see that La Mulana still exists. Bloody hell.

Glad to see that La Mulana still exists. Bloody hell.

Oh man, I think I first read a preview about that game 2 years ago.  2. years. ago.  A Wiiware title!  Mario platformers have taken less time to develop.  Console platformers!

On another note, did I read that correctly, where it says Devil Survivor 2 is Wiiware?

No, it's under the "Nintendo DS Family" section, Daan just didn't bold it. La Mulana is the only WiiWare game on the list.

When I first saw MP9, I was like"What! I'm so gettin that!"And truly am getting it! It comes out a day before My Birthday!

[Killer_Man_Jaro]

Two retail games (RE: Revelations and CRUSH3D) and a handful of eShop games are on my radar for Q1. Good that the momentum built up this month seems to continue on into early next year.

[Fatty The Hutt]

Is "Night Sky" Nicalis' former WiiWare "Night Game" that never came out, retooled for 3DSWare? If so, hooray. I have been waiting for that game since the fist very cool looking trailer I saw on IGN several years ago now.

[nickmitch]

Is that Kirby's Block Ball as in VC or 3D Classics or maybe a new game? I'm assuming VC.

[Mop it up]

Yeah, it's the VC.

[TJ Spyke]

I good way to tell the difference between 3D Classics and regular retro eShop games is that the 3D Classics have that in their name (i.e. 3D Classics: Kirby's Adventure). Also, the Classics line is limited (so far) to NES games and Block Ball was a Game Boy game.

[TrueNerd]

Sooo is that Sakura Samurai game a big deal?

EDIT: Just watched the trailer. It could have potential...

I really hope DSiware dies within the 1st quarter of next year. I don't have room for anymore DSiware games unless I start deleting stuff because of stupid restriction.I got plenty of room on 4 Gig SD card.

What are the odds 2K Sports does a decent job on MLB 2K12?  Probably not good but I can hope, it's been disappointing that there haven't been more good baseball games for Wii.

[NWR_insanolord]

What are the odds 2K Sports does a decent job on MLB 2K12?

Based on previous Wii entries in the series, virtually nonexistant.

And while I liked Nicktoons MLB on DS enough to give it an 8, I wish they'd made a full fledged MLB game for 3DS instead of another Nicktoons game.
