A better than 3DS launch is already practically guaranteed if for nothing more than third party ports. I don't think Nintendo need many must have launch titles either first party or exclusive third party to have a successful launch. Pikmin 3, perhaps a NSMBs, and one or two other titles would be more than enough along with the ports. What's more important than the launch titles themselves is a steady stream of titles afterwords. The lack of a steady stream of titles after launch is why the 3DS couldn't maintain any momentum at its original price not the lack luster launch software. Most launches are lack luster in selection and quantity.
i agree somewhat. my problem is nintendo is rumored to be going after the hardcore with this console. over the past two generations( gamecube and Wii) nintendo has lost a lot of gamers and fans. there are gamers out there that want to play a GTA style game on their nintendo console. i remember my friends ragging on me for having a gamecube when they were able to play gta on their PS2. nintendo has to bring the heat with this console in order to get those players back which in my opinion they can do.
