Nintendo’s big conference shown us quite a few new titles, but the previously announced Animal Crossing was one that many might have looked over. This latest title in the franchise will be landing on the 3DS sometime in 2012, and will also feature many returning faces from past installments as neighbors.

The clip shown was on the short side, but one thing that was confirmed was that this title will have the same sphere-like perspective on the world that we seen in Wild World and City Folk. Aside from the new addition of swimming, we still have quite a cloak of mystery surrounding the interactivity and online functions for the 3DS version of Animal Crossing, but if one thing is for certain, this returning sim franchise will be making quite a splash on the handheld next year.

*UPDATE*

Thanks to some translating by Nintendo, we have now learned that houses in Animal Crossing 3DS will be fully customizable, both inside and out. Streetpass functions have also been confirmed via Nintendo’s twitter that will let players share houses.

When it was announced earlier this year, Nintendo said that Kid Icarus: Uprising would be released sometime this year. Unfortunately that won’t happen anymore because during the 3DS Conference 2011 that Nintendo held earlier today, they announced that the game had been pushed back into the early months of 2012.

Despite the game’s delay, Nintendo is going to promote the game by hiring plenty of anime movies that players can watch on their Nintendo 3DS. The studios involved are Production I.G., Studio 4C and Shaft and the videos will be available all over the world. Although the delay is a bit depressing to see for those eager to see Kid Icarus again in his own video game, whenever a game is delayed for extra polish is always a good thing.

During Nintendo’s pre-TGS 3DS conference, they have announced that a new Fire Emblem title will be making it’s way to the Nintendo 3DS during 2012.

Not much else is known regarding the upcoming Fire Emblem game besides it’s vague release date of 2012. This will be the first Fire Emblem title to hit the 3DS.  What do you think of this mammoth announcement? Leave a comment below letting us know.

Monster Hunter 4 being developed for Nintendo 3DS

The Monster Hunter series is a huge series all around the world, not only is it popular here in North America, but it is extremely popular in Japan. So it only makes sense that during the Pre-Tokyo Game Show event held today, Satoru Iwata announced that there is a Monster Hunter 4 game being developed exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS at the moment.

Unfortunately no details besides the game’s announcement was made at this time. There was some gameplay footage shown off which showed the player’s character being chased by a monster through many obstacles and dodging attacks. Perhaps more news will be revealed in the next few days during the actual event or at least in the coming months. Still it is an interesting move for Capcom to make a Monster Hunter title exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS as many were expecting a PS Vita announcement related to the series during Tokyo Game Show.

Paper Mario to be released on the 3DS next year

While it may have been known that there was a Paper Mario title in development for the 3DS, no one actually knew when they should be expecting this interesting title. Well, that release window was just narrowed down until next year at some time for Japan at least, as during a Pre-Tokyo Game Show held specifically for Nintendo 3DS games they announced the 2012 release of the game.

Along with a little bit of gameplay footage not much else was revealed for the title. Though it does appear to follow the first Paper Mario on the Gamecube title closer than the sequel which was released a couple of years ago on the Wii. Which would you prefer?

Mario Tennis in development for the 3DS; releasing next year

At Nintendo’s Pre-TGS conference held for the Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced that they are currently working on a Mario Tennis game for the handheld. There were only a few details given at the time of announcement, besides that the game would be coming out next year.

Also announced was that the game would use the gyro sensor for controls and that the game most likely won’t be released under that name. It can be anyone’s guess as to which Mario sports title will be coming next, as the Mario crew have done everything from tennis, to golf, to hardcore soccer. What do you think will follow Mario Tennis as far as Mario sports games go?

Misty Pink 3DS announced for Japan

During an event held today pre-Tokyo Game Show, Nintendo has announced that they will be releasing a new color of the 3DS in an effort to push more of their newest handheld. However this one will be marketed towards the finer of genders, as the color is called Misty Pink.

The handheld will be released on October 20th in Japan but currently there is no news whether or not this color will be available in other countries outside of Japan. Still if you are looking to get your sister or girlfriend a present perhaps this Pink 3DS will make them take the jump from the normal DS. Or you know, if you are a guy who loves pink like Dustin. It’s cool.
