When the Nintendo 3DS launches in the United States in March, favorite Nintendo franchises like Mario and The Legend of Zelda will be nowhere to be found. But third-party gamemakers are showing no such restraint when it comes to the new 3-D handheld: They're bringing hit series including Resident Evil, Madden, Street Fighter, Splinter Cell, Super Monkey Ball, The Sims and Dead or Alive to the $250 gaming platform. To help you get through the wait, Wired.com assembled this batch of trailers for games that will be available within the first three months after the 3DS' March 27 release. Note that these will not pop out of your monitor and appear to be 3-D, as the Nintendo 3DS visuals surely will. __Above:__ Nintendo 3DS System Tour ------------------------ This clip walks you through the various hardware features of the Nintendo 3DS, from the touchscreen and adjustable 3-D display to the home screen, which lets you use certain features while your game is paused.
