The Internet is awash in a sea of new screenshots and videos for new, third-party 3DS games. So we've dropped as many of the new ones we could find right here for your easy perusal.
Currently the list includes games like Pro Evo 2011, Resident Evil, Super Monkey Ball 3D, Super Street Fighter IV 3D, Ridge Racer 3D and a ton more. A ton!

Much more than the creator of fable, Lionhead's Peter Molyneux was behind everything from classic god game Populous to the light-hearted simulator Theme Park. These achievements and more will be honored at the Game Developers Choice Awards during GDC 2011.
Kotaku will be there on Wednesday, March 2, in San Francisco when the esteemed developer steps on stage to join the ranks of game industry talent honored by their peers with the Lifetime Achievement Award. Molyneux has been creating games since 1982, when he distributed his early creations on floppy discs. Since then he helped found Bullfrog Studios of Syndicate fame, and created Black & White for his new Lionhead Studios, paying the game's $6 million development cost on his own.
"Peter is a remarkable asset to the games industry, and truly embodies everything that the Lifetime Achievement Award represents," said Meggan Scavio, event director of GDC. "We're proud to honor someone who has had such a profound impact on the industry, through his boundless enthusiasm and profound talent in creating games about choice and interactivity that the entire world loves to play."
Double Fine's Tim Schafer will once again be hosting the event this year, so expect to be entertained during Kotaku's annual live coverage of the awards show and all things GDC starting late next month.
The Nintendo 3DS will come with six augmented reality cards. But what does that mean?
It means you can drop 3D dragons on to coffee tables, desks and your son's sleeping head and then shoot virtual arrows at them.
Excellent!

Here's a quick look at the freebies built into the 3DS.
Will be pubbing a much more detailed look at these features later in the day, but an important thing we discovered is that a lot of these built in apps can run in the background.
For instance you can be playing Zelda Ocarina of Time in 3D, suspend the game and start taking notes, then jump straight back into the game.
Very useful idea.

Nintendo's glasses-free 3D portable gaming system will hit "across Europe" on March 25.
The price will be set by retailers, Nintendo Europe says. The system, which hits the U.S. on Match 27 for $249.99, will come with a telescoping stylus and some digital software built in. Retailers, including Amazon and GameStop, list the price at €249.99.
Nintendo first showed off the 3DS at last year's E3 video gaming expo in Los Angeles. The device, about the size of Nintendo's popular DS gaming system, allows people to watch movies and play games in 3D without the need of glasses. In addition to the directional pad found on the DS, the two-screen 3DS will also have an analog circle button, something more akin to what home console users may be used to. A built-in motion sensor and gyro sensor can react to the motion and tilt of the system, so whether players are twisting their systems side to side or moving them up and down, their motion-compatible Nintendo 3DS games respond instantly. The system will be backwards compatible with the DS and include some built-in DSi software.
The device can also take 3D pictures and then display them on its screen, something becoming more relevant in a time when Sony is pushing 3D video and still cameras.
The device will come in either Aqua Blue or Cosmo Black, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime told a gathering of press this morning in New York.
Seen in person, the handheld's 3D screen almost approaches magic in the way it can trick the eyes into seeing 3D images that either hover in front of the screen or drop away inside the screen.
Games coming to the 3DS includes Pilotwings Resort, Nintendogs + Cats, submariner Steel Diver, Ocarina of Time 3D, Kid Icarus: Uprising, Dead or Alive Dimensions, Madden, Super Street Fighter IV 3D, Asphalt 3D, Combat of Giants Dinosaurs 3D, Lego Star Wars III The Clone Wars, Ridge Racer 3D, Resident Evil The Mercenaries 3D.
Nintendo says they hope to have more than 30 games hit the Nintendo 3DS by June.
The 3DS will also have some built-in software including a pedometer that will track your physical movement and log it. Mii Maker will allow gamers to create personal avatars that look a bit like the ones found in the Wii. Face Raiders, another built-in game, is a shooting gallery sort of title that puts your face into the game. The 3DS will also come with software for manipulating sound and browsing the Internet.
The system will also allow gamers to log into Nintendo's e-shop, which will include a "steady progression of Game Boy and Game Boy Color" hits along with new games. The store will also include demos and trailers for new games.
Japan boasts a long curry tradition that dates over a hundred years. Here is some of what the country has to offer.

"Nintendo 3DS is a category of one – the experience simply doesn't exist anywhere else," said Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. "You have to see Nintendo 3DS to believe it. And it's like nothing you've ever seen before."
The system will come with a telescoping stylus and some digital software built in.
Nintendo plans to kick off a massive marketing campaign for the 3D portable, with 5,000 units touring the country for eight weeks.

Right now, gamers play video games on the Xbox 360, the PS3 and the Nintendo Wii. One day, we will have new consoles. Won't that be great? Um, no, not according to one of gaming's biggest studios.
"It would be horrible," says THQ's Danny Bilson. "It still costs us a fortune to make games on this platform. If they're going to up the scale, up the art, up the content, I don't know how to make that and sell it to anybody for under $100 a game."
Well, depending on where you live, some gamers already pay a hundred bucks a game...
Traditionally, game companies like Sony or Nintendo release a new home console every five or six years. Are those days gone? With both companies expected to face off with new handheld consoles, maybe not.
"We're not going to get beat by another hardware upgrade like every five years like it was before," says Bilson. "It's up to us to compete in graphics and creativity. Sometimes I hope good creativity and style will be able to be more important. It is more important."
It sure is important. Who wants to pay more for video games?
