I haven't played Street fighter for years, and was weighing up that with DOA, so I guess thats made it for me. SMB, Lego star wars and ridge racer might be worth a look in case there isn't anything good to follow in April. I'll wait on the reviews of pilot wings though - looks nice, but not sure if it's just an extended demo. What happened to Steel Diver? I thought that was a shoe in for day one, not that I'm too fussed.
I think nintendo are just giving the launch limelight to third parties. They only have 900000 to shift in Europe so why waste that boost with LoZ or Mario. I'd say Zelda appears around easter along with some more hardware stock. Gives third parties like capcom a chance to get some good early sales and proves the 3ds is a good platform.
Not that you'd announce plans for a smaller version in 12 months, but I can see a lower unit price without the cradle. Original ipods shipped with wall chargers, and docks. I could see this ending the same way, down to just the unit and USB charging, with the other stuff optional purchase.
