Nintendo is planning to host an all day 3DS event in just a couple of weeks in San Francisco for selected members of the press, ourselves included naturally.
Major titles arriving in the coming weeks include Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and the hotly anticipated Animal Crossing: New Leaf, so we can only assume that these titles will be playable for attendees of the event.
No other hints were given regarding the showcase; information is being kept under wraps. Perhaps new titles may be shown, but with it being so close to E3, it's unlikely that'll happen.
What are your thoughts on this? What do you reckon this mysterious 3DS event will be about? Let us know your thoughts by posting in the comments section below.

sweet.
Is it a physical event in Redmond, WA?
Well gang looks like we have a mystery on our hands
All day event doesn't sound news related to me. News comes out of a press conference or announcement videos. This sounds more like something where press can go play games in development. Would love to be wrong and see some new games announced though!
The 3DS XXXXXL will be announced.
Zelda 3ds. You heard it here first
Country please
Flood of speculation of a redesign with dual analog coming in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...
3ds XL Ver.2 with 2 Analogs, 2 Front Cameras, 2 Screens, 2 Shoulder buttons, 2 Eyes to Play 3D and MORE. This is a special offer only today so buy now and get one free.
Yum! I hope there will be more New Leaf news! Unbelievably excited for that one!
probably just going to have 3DS games to play, maybe a contest and hopefully some release dates for mario golf, mario & luigi dream team and maybe another game. i just hope there is something in this for people who can't attend this event...like maybe a mii.
Miiverse announcement?
Lots of speculation, but I just hope it's something good! They've really got my curiosity aroused now...
Wishful thinking for another Nintendo Direct?
The next gen DS is going to be announced.
@FernandoMachado We can hope.
@NinGamer85 But those already exist. After all, what would this be sitting in my pocket?
@FernandoMachado that's what I'm thinking too.
Miiverse for 3DS is all I need. Bring it on Nintendo!
Yes, I agree with everyone that says Miiverse for 3DS it NEEDS TO HAPPEN!
Super Mario Sunshine 3D? More footage of Mario & Luigi: Dream Team? A new 3DS-exclusive Zelda? Kirby on 3DS? Games from third party companies like a new 3DS Sonic or Mutant Mudds 2?
I'm excited, but at the same time not expecting any big surprises. E3 is almost just around the corner after all.
@ocarinadude14 No. It won't.
Let there be Legend of Zelda 3DS!
If Nintendo wants to hold a mysterious 3DS event, then I say why not hold it at a place like Nintendo World Store in New York. It only makes sense imo, unless they decide to do it from NOA headquarters, then that's OK. I just want to see if Miiverse shows up sometime soon for 3DS this time, if not then we wait until E3 2013.
I wouldn't get my hopes up, atfer all,its from a tweet.
All titles for Super Mario main series games coming out this year and next year:
New Super Luigi U
New Super Mario Bros. 3: Nostalgia Strikes Back! Again! Again! Again! Again!
New Super Mario Bros. 4: Yeah, we're really running out of Ideas.
New Super Mario Bros. 5: We just fooled you into buying the same game again!
New Super Mario Bros. 6: Yep... you people must really hate us now.
Shouldn't Nintendo be spending more time focusing on the WiiU than the 3DS?
The 3DS has DKCR3D dated for May, AC:NL dated for June and Pokemon X+Y dated for Oct. The WiiU has a bunch of TBAs and a Gamecube remake in "autumn".
MIIIIIIIIIVERRRRSE!!!!
@rjejr no they should focus on both, welcome to the launch period for a new console, new games are few and far between at first, so dont expect much wii u stuff happening untill in needs to (christmas)
hopefully they'll announce something that's so amazingly good that it'll make me happy
Maybe more info on Luigi 2013.
Probably playable versions of upcoming games, but perhaps new localization confirmations.
well, it has to be an extremely amazing announcement!
then im sure i would be able to be happy
hmm maybe miiverse or more new 3ds apps? i doubt it hmmm maybe some new list of demos that they still not finish making idk.. =[
Please, and I mean PLEASE go back to the old-school Zelda formula, Ninty Give us a new Zelda title full of greatness, once more!
I hope they release the oracle games on the eShop as well. That and the ambassador GBA titles :3 It's not much too ask, now is it?
Would love to see some new rpg coming to the system too.
I only hope it's something REALLY new...
We probably aren't getting some crazy, crazy stuff announced but I probably won't get shocked if we at least get a new release or two announced or(hoping for) Miiverse 3DS like others have mentioned above.
Release a Black or Charcoal Gray colored XL unit! c'mon....
^ Still waiting on my orange one. :/
I would love an all black or all silver one!!!
You know what's not going to happen? 2nd Circle Pad built into the 3DS and a battery life that isn't terrible.
=(
^ Why the sad face about that? I would snap up one of those in a heartbeat if it means not having to use a rather unattractive attachment for games that make use of it.
I do get the general "hate" but feck knows I would love yearly iterations of New Super Mario Bros.
... What could it be?
3DS Miiverse and NNIDs!
Snes games on the Virtual Console...?
@mumof2kids82 People who can't attend the event would be almost everyone. It's only for the press.
3ds miiverse I hope and animal crossing
What about FFV & VI remakes?
MIIVERSE
Please...
All I want is three things:
@Chriiis
It's a sad face preciously because it's not going to happen.
@DarkKirby
and I am glad for it not happening. Just saying.
3DS XXXL with quad analog please! lol
@Knucklesfanguy
Better control options and being able to play games in 3D for a decent amount of time is a bad thing?
http://tinyurl.com/d3go9rr
You guys better bring back some juicey news
Anything new for 3DS would make me happy.
Perhaps Miiverse on 3DS I suppose, and news on upcoming games.
Also, the fact that this article says "in the coming weeks" and "Animal Crossing: New Leaf" in the same sentence makes me so excited!
Crossing my fingers now and beginning to chant: "Silver / Black 3DS XL. Silver / Black 3DS XL..."
If I do this continuously for two weeks, it will surely happen.
Hmm....I'm curious as to what they are planning on showing during this "secret" event. They could show one or two secret titles and save the rest of the surprises for E3.
@Ark_Sin Sorry I meant a new Zelda game on 3ds...although I envy the contents of your pocket.
@NaotoDS
That comment made me laugh....
I love Scooby
Zelda 3DS
Zelda Oracle Series
Super Mario Bros 2
Super Mario Bros 3
Super Mario Bros 4
MiiVerse
XL Cradle + Circle Pad Pro
Zelda, Zelda, OH LET IT BE ZELDA!!!
@ClassicSonicFan Oh, wait, you forgot to mention Mario and the Black Knight and Mario Unleashed, where Mario turns into a werewolf... Oh wait? I distinctly remember another beloved video game hero (cough cough blue blur) getting dragged through that mess...
I wonder... any news should be exciting, though. I'm still dying for Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
I kinda figured we'd be seeing a Nintendo 3DSi pocket Light Color Advance SP micro lite XL mini this year.
A new console for the 3DS VC? SNES & N64 would be nice.
But, one can dream!
I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that I would rather have a mystery Wii U event...
@DJDALLYDEE It would be a mystery cause no one may be there .
Nintendo will announce that every time you open up your 3DS, a picture of yourself is sent to Nintendo HQ, then sent to Facebook, to upload crazy photos of you without you knowing it. >8D
GBA games on 3DS eShop.
@MariovsLuigi101 That'd most likely be an E3 reveal. Would be fantastic, though!
A new game in the wuhu island would be awesome! I love Pilotwings Resort!
Something big enough to get hype going for E3 may not be the worst idea.
Could just be a new remodel of the 3DS though, who knows.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET IT BE ZELDA!!!!! I'm just crossing my fingers hoping they will add at the end: "Oh yeah, by the way, we saved the best for last: THE LEGEND OF ZELDA (INSERT TITLE HERE) 3D!!!!!, and it will launch on september XX". AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@NinGamer85
I hope you are right, It would make my day.
Go Have some fun guys! I want a full report!
It is going to be the NA release of the circle pad pro.
