System won't be seeing lull experienced by past Nintendo systems.
Game consoles usually see a post launch software lull. But this won't happen with 3DS. Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata told Japan's Nihon Keizai Shimbun newspaper that plans are in place to make sure the 3DS gets a constant stream of software.
Said Iwata, "It's important that you be able to supply software with no pause. With the DS and Wii, following the titles that were released at launch, the momentum dropped when there was a gap in software releases. We're making plans so that this type of thing won't happen."
The 3DS is launching in Japan with eight games: Nintendogs + cats (available in three varieties), Winning Eleven 3DSoccer, Samurai Warriors Chronicle, Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition, Puzzle Bobble 3D, Ridge Racer 3D, Combat of the Dinosaur 3D and Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask.
We already know of two games that are due out shortly after launch in Japan Sega's Super Monkey Ball 3D will arrive on March 3. Tecmo Koei's Dead or Alive Dimensions will arrive on March 24.
Many of the games we sampled at Nintendo World, including Zelda Ocarina of Time, Steel Diver, Kid Icarus, and Pilot Wings looked pretty far along. With Iwata promising a constant software supply, perhaps we won't have to wait too long for these.
