Reggie Fils-Aime claims that Mario, Zelda and Icarus for the 3DS are coming "after E3".

Many fans had hoped that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D and Kid Icarus: Uprising would be available at the launch of the 3DS but were left disappointed when they were not included in the launch window announced last week.

MTV recently asked Nintendo of America's president Reggie Fils-Aime about this issue and he promised "Mario, Zelda, all of those titles are coming," and continued to emphasise how they don't wish to release games until they're ready before promising "they'll be ready soon". Mr. Fils-Aimes claimed that while these titles are not in the launch window, between March and June, they will be coming out after E3.

"Between Nintendogs + Cats and Pilotwings, those two franchises, either on the original DS or on other legacy systems like the NES or Super NES, have sold tens of millions of copies. Those two franchises have a lot of strength all by themselves. Steel Diver is a brand new experience, and from a compelling standpoint, we think it's awfully compelling."
