I'm most looking forward to Zelda. Three days before my birthday. Although I cynically expect Zelda to get pushed back to being a Christmas title!

It's on my birthday. Shame it's not my 25th birthday though I'll be 26.

Does anyone else agree that the 3DS line-up is not as good as the Wii and DS line-up? Doesn't matter too much though because I will be busy with the 21 free games that are coming my way and I can still play the DS games on it.

2 Games: Zelda Skyward Sword and Kirby's Adventure Wii.

Same here, do you know where I could pre-order Kirby's Adventure Wii, I can't find it in the usual places?

Does anyone else agree that the 3DS line-up is not as good as the Wii and DS line-up? Doesn't matter too much though because I will be busy with the 21 free games that are coming my way and I can still play the DS games on it.

It's actually 20 free games.
ledreppe 17 Aug '11
By far Skyward Sword, but also Modern Warfare 3 (anybody know what Q4 means?)
And hi, I'm new.
noobgamer9 17 Aug '11
Kirby's Adventure Wii is the new title... Sounds better than Kirby Returns to Dreamland.
kirby711 17 Aug '11
No Mario Party 9 or Fortune Street :(
Joey788 17 Aug '11
Most wanted: The Last Story
Second most: Zelda: Skyward Sword

I think they're counting four swords as well as the 20 ambassador games.

X-Men Destiny, I saw footage for that during E3 and it looked ace. Particularly the way you can choose your abilities and actions that change the story.
OHJOY90 22 Aug '11
Putting the new Zelda to one side, I am super excited to The Last Story and Pandora's Tower. Whether or not I will be able to afford them on release is another question... But I will always make money for Zelda. (:
