Nintendo 3DS offers a whopping 18 games

NINTENDO’S upcoming 3DS gaming system will have a whopping 18 games when it is launched next month, said PC World.

Slated for a March 27 release, the 3DS will offer gamers the option of purchasing three Nintendo-published games for US$39.99 (S$51) each, comprising Pilotwings Resort, Steel Diver, and nintendogs + cats, said PC World.

Pilotwings Resort is an aerial adventure in which players soar over the tropical Wuhu Island in 3-D,  completing missions and snapping pictures.

Steel Diver is a strategy and combat game set in a submarine. Nintendo said the 3-D technology makes players feel like they are looking into a mini-aquarium as they control the sub.

Meanwhile, nintendogs + cats might just be perfect for Singaporeans longing for a puppy or kitten, but who just don’t have the time for them.

There are three versions, which will have players interacting with realistic dogs and cats.

Each game can unlock more than 20 breeds, said PC World.

Other gaming options from third-party publishers include Super Street Fighter 3D Edition, The Sims 3, and Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars.

“Seeing 3-D visuals without the need for special glasses is just one aspect of Nintendo 3DS,” Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime said in a statement.

“The real test of any system is whether the games and applications draw you in and keep you engaged.”
