Satoru Iwata confirms a packed Q1...

Satoru Iwata used this morning's Nintendo Direct broadcast to confirm a host of 3DS release dates for Japan. Strong third party support looks to be giving the platform an absolute chock-a-block Q1 for the homeland.

Unfortunately, the picture in Europe looks a little unformed for the moment. Ace Combat 3D is already out, and we have confirmed dates for a handful of others.

Resident Evil: Revelations is out on January 27th, Nintendo is bringing Tekken 3D on February 16th, a week after Mario & Sonic hits 3DS. Metal Gear Solid 3D is still penned for a vague 'winter' release, while Kid Icarus: Uprising flies in in March. Kingdom Hearts 3D is confirmed for a European release some time in 2012.
