Since the relatively weak launch line-up for the Nintendo 3DS is done and dusted, gamers will probably be wondering when new
Mario and
Zelda titles will be arriving on their shiny new handhelds. Speaking to the Official Nintendo Magazine today, James Honeywell- manager of Nintendo here in the UK- noted that he knows the remade version of
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time confirmed for release on the 3DS last Summer is "the game that everyone wants to play", assuring fans that he remembers how "on the sampling tours the game everyone ran to was
Zelda" and that he expected Satoru Iwata to make an announcement on the game's American and British release dates within the next month. On the
Mario Kart front, Honeywell confirmed to CVG that the title announced at E3 2010 as
Mario Kart 3D is still set for a release later this year, but did warn that "things can always change, and until we actually make a firm announcement about the release dates, it's good to wait and see what those dates might be". We have, however, been assured that both franchises will make appearances at E3 this June before their worldwide releases, along with the recently announced
Super Mario game out for 3DS in 2012, plus
Star Fox and
Paper Mario too. Worried that the Wii isn't getting enough attention? Honeywell says Nintendo has realised its release schedule for the home console has very few big contenders for Game of the Year, and that "there's still lots to come that I'm sure you'll see at E3. For anybody who has a Wii, they can rest assured that we'll be bringing some fantastic new experiences to them..."
