Let's Face It: Kid Icarus isn't coming out in 2011.

It's a shame, but if it were going to be released this year it would definetly have a release date announced by now. Otherwise i would already have a 3ds

Well I don't really want it to come out at the end of 2011 anyway, since I have quite a few 3DS games I want at that time. Q1 2012 would be good though.

my 3ds' paint is chafed already... i hope Kid icarus comes out before my blue 3ds turns colorless... anyway ... the tactic "standing" on its own hasnt been very fruitful for nintendo lately ... even though theyve been doing it for god knows how long... other consoles have releases the saturate the market so folks get confused in which to buy ... and there isn't only one type of person so choices are very good to have... Kid Icarus coming out with ohter titles will salvage the 3ds ... asap

In the grand scheme of things, it won't make much difference if it isn't released this year. 2012 sounds realistic, so I'll go with that.

I never expected it to come this year. Infact, for some reason I seem to recall the creator of this game, w/e his name is, stating that it was coming early next year.

Nintendo has to make sales from their games. Mario, StarFox, and Mario Kart will make cash, but you need more than just cash over the holidays you need lots of cash. Any retailer will tell you that is the end of the fiscal year to get out of the red.

For instance, I only plan to buy one game right now. Super Mario. Nintendo is not making lots of money off me for one game. Retailers anticipate over the year you buy a little and in the holidays spend more than you usually do.

I expect there will be more games out in December, January, and February.

This game should have been out for launch. The fact that its not done and still looking iffy does not bode well

I think you have it about right. Though lets not forgot that the Wii U is launching next year so it might conflict with Animal Crossing and Paper Mario (yes I am assuming the Wii U is launching in the fall/ holiday season of next year). Im just saying.

Personally, I think they can take all the time they want with Animal Crossing (though I would like it before December of next year). I sooo want this animal crossing to be way better than City Folk. That game was such a let down. It seemed like nothing more than a Wild world port with the added bonus of the city. So far, Animal Crossing 3D is indeed looking better than City Folk. You can swim, be the mayer, benches around the town, bushes!, you can even hang things on your wall besides wall paper. I just hope this game is the head liner for the series.

Really? from what I saw the game doesnt look iffy at all. People seem to like the multiplayer aspect of it.

[QUOTE="Rod90"]I'm more worried about Animal Crossing to be honest.darth-pyschosis

Animal Crossingis said to come out in January. Kid Icarus Uprising is supposed to be December, but could be January. Also, in December is supposed to be Sonic Generations but that could be pushed into January too.

Paper Mario is supposed to be Spring next year. I would expect Luigi's Mansion 2 to come out alongside Paper Mario.

Again, you have to look at through the retail world. Nintendo games sells Nintendo systems.Nintendo makes more money off their own games than second party titles.And Pokemon I would not consider a major title.

Nintendo wants money from a consumer like me (20-40) that has money and works. And most people in my age range want Mario games or some game that they can relax after college classes or work.

November-Super Mario 3D Land

December-Mario Kart 7 and Kid Icarus Uprising

January-Sonic Generations and Animal Crossing

Spring-Luigi's Mansion 2 and Paper Mario

Fall-Wii U

Next Holiday Season-New Smash Bros., Wi Utitles, etc...

Alot o this comes from GameStop and the Internet. And seeing how far in development these games are.

Are you making an educated guess? or did you find this info somewhere?

Also I doubt smash bros (for 3DS and Wii U both) is coming next year. The last smash bros got delayed and delayed to the extent where it was in developement for years. I hope this smash bros doesnt take that long, but I still doubt a game that probably hasnt even started developement will launch anytime next year.

Not all titles are placeholders. I knew when Super Mario was coming out before it wasannounced because GameStop has accurate information.

Why would you need to play AC to know its not along it's way? It could be away head of Luigi's Mansion 2.

January will probably be Animal Crossing or Luigi's Mansion 2. Which one, we will just have to wait and see.

Sonic Generations and Mario Kart 7 are for December then.

Well Super Mario was the only accurate month. So you are righht they are placeholders.

Also, AC usually comes out Nov-January. In all it's years, it has never came out any other time because of the Animal Crossing calendar. January and christmas is the best time to start playing because it goes year round with things to do.

And I have googled both games and I find alot of people estimating January for AC. Also, AC was announced before Luigi's Mansion 2.

I expected this to be near launch, since it was the first game that they showed and it has seemingly been in development for awhile.

I'm sad but my wallet is happy.

I'm next to certain that game is launching the same time as console counterparts.

Moreso on topic, I refuse to believe that the biggest reason I bought a 3DS isnot releasing this year. There is no date probably because developement isn't done yet. They are still trying to add online. Hopefully it launches this year, but if it doesn't because they want to ensure Online is in there and good, then I'll wait, I'll get Mario 3DS instead.

On the Animal Crossing topic, I think it would be terrible to release Q1. Many people who would buy it will still be busy with both mario games released in nov.dec

1) In Europe, AC Paper Mario and Kid Icarus are expected to release.

2) AC was announced before Luigi's Mansion 2

3) We have plenty of pics and videos of AC

4) AC in the past releases Nov-January

5) It's not too late where they could some how have a demo or something

I just think Luigi's Mansion 2 and Paper will be after Animal Crossing. We already have a big Mario game coming out this Holiday season. It would be dumb to have two come out at the same time. Sonic Generations and Kid Icarus I think will be out in December and January along with Animal Crossing.

Nintendo has to start making cash off, and that means selling the games and not the system. All of these price games with the 3DS and the "20 free games apology" are all to get people to buy games. If there arent any good games people wont buy.

January is always a big month for games.

Mario Kart 7 and Sonic Generations will be the big games for December.

One thing we know for sure is that Animal Crossing, Paper Mario, Kid Icarus, and Luigi's Mansion 2 all come out in 2012. When is a big mystery.

Kid Icarus and then Animal Crossing is my guess. I'm not changing my mind. Why would you need a demo anyways? All AC games are pretty much the same. There are some new additions, but its still the same as all the others.

I got rid of my DS and Wii a while ago, so I'm waiting to play some of these games again.
