Over the next three months, Nintendo is promising over 50 new games for the company’s current family of consoles — the 3DS, DS and Wii. Of that number, Nintendo’s first-party headliners are Wii Play: Motion and Mystery Case Files: Dust to Dust for the Wii and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D for the 3DS.
All three titles are launching in June, beginning on June 13th with Wii Play: Motion, a new collection of 12 mini-game challenges which will ship in a bundle with the Wii Remote Plus controller.
Next up will be the long-awaited release of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D which is set to bring Link’s fabled N64 adventure to the 3DS on June 19th, complete with enhanced graphics, a new touch-screen interface, new motion control elements, and a remastered version of Master Quest.
And last but not least, Mystery Case Files: Dust to Dust brings Big Fish Games’ popular hidden object series to the Wii for the first time on June 27th.
On the third-party front, notable upcoming releases include Conduit 2 for Wii and a promising run of 3DS games, such as BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II, Dream Trigger 3D, Cave Story 3D, Dead or Alive: Dimensions and more. Sadly, it looks like the DS is fading into oblivion faster than expected, with Duke Nukem: Critical Mass (if it actually comes out this time) the lone game of interest amongst a sea of licensed shovelware.
