Nintendo may be launching 3DS later in the U.S. than everywhere else, but America will get a larger lineup of day one games.
Three games from Nintendo itself will be available on March 27 when the 3DS drops: Nintendogs + Cats, Pilotwings Resort and Steel Diver, the company said Tuesday.
These games will be sold at $40 each, or $10 more than Nintendo's games for the current DS model.
Other Nintendo-published games slated for 2011 include The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Star Fox 64 3D, Kid Icarus: Uprising and Mario Kart.
In addition to the first-party games, Nintendo said the following games would be available on day one from third-party software publishers:
