There are a fair few titles of interest in there, but we already new about some of the biggest ones including The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and Star Fox 64 3DS. Unfortunately, there are no firm release dates for the likes of Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7, beyond November and December launch windows - unless you live in the States.

Still, for anyone who wants a detailed look at what's on the Nintendo horizon, here's the full list:

    It's a pretty rubbish list really!!

    This has Skyward Sword and Xenoblade, and frankly that's all it'd need to make me happy. The 3DS line-up (whose dates will hopefully become more specific soon) is just the icing on the gateau.

    whats with all the GB games? they could have had colour NES games from the start.. or even SNES for that matter.

    Super Marioland 2 for the virtual console is welcome news :) Gargoyle's quest is one of the better gb-games too, worth checking out (although frustratingly difficult in places).

    I was sort of hoping there would be a gap between the release of skyrim and skyward sword, 1 week isn't much of a gap.

    Actually Skyrim Sword would be an awesome idea. All the characters and creatures from Skyward Sword would be in it but it will be set in Skyrim and look like an Elder Scrolls game.
