Nintendo has announced a string of new 3DS titles and also dated some of the platform’s biggest titles coming your way over the next few months.

First off Nintendo confirmed a March 28 release date for Luigi’s Mansion 2, but also showed off a number of other games featuring the evergreen plumber. A new Mario & Luigi RPG, Dream Team, is coming this summer to 3DS, as is Mario Golf: World Tour from Camelot. Then there’s New Super Mario Bros. U DLC, New Super Luigi U, which transforms the Wii U title with over 80 new courses designed to be tackled by Luigi.

A UK release date for Animal Crossing: New Leaf has been set for June 14, a month after Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity is launched on May 17. The summer will also see two Inazuma Eleven games come to 3DS.
