While other handheld gaming systems are failing (the Sony Vita comes to mind), Nintendo’s 3DS is still hanging on.

It seems as though Nintendo is aiming to provide 3DS users with a wide array of titles. The move to include 3rd party titles is a great move for Nintendo and for 3DS owners. Those 3rd party gaming companies that have made the Nintendo 3DS list thus far include Capcom and Konami (to name just a few). In addition to the demo titles released and set for release listed above, Nintendo has announced that the company will be pushing out some 3rd party games as well. Nintendo, on the other hand, is different. Most gaming companies tend to provide console users with titles created and developed by the parent company. In addition to the Resident Evil demo, Nintendo also announced that the company will be releasing a version of Mario and Sonic at the London Olympic Games. Now, those who are holding 3DS systems are just waiting for those games that Nintendo should be pushing out within the next month or so. While Nintendo hasn’t made good on its game promise quite yet, the company has stood by one additional consumer commitment: Nintendo finally updated the 3DS firmware (though this did take quite some time). While this game demo is a start, it’s a far cry from the list of games that Nintendo promised consumers. Yesterday, Nintendo finally provided 3DS with a downloadable version of Resident Evil Revelations (a demo). Many purchased 3DS systems based upon this statement, but it’s taken Nintendo quite awhile to deliver on its earlier promise. Roughly a month or so ago, Nintendo announced that the company would be releasing a series of new and updated 3DS games.
