Nintendo is finishing 2011 with a strong line-up for 3DS – Ocarina of Time 3D, Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7, and it looks like 2012 won’t disappoint either.

Third-party titles bolstering the line-up include Resident Evil: Revelations, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D, Tekken 3D Prime Edition and Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
