Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime said that between the launch of the 3DS in March and E3 in June, more than 30 first and third-party 3DS games will be released. No launch lineup has been announced as of yet but the Japan launch releases have already been revealed.

The 3DS will be available in Cosmo Black and Aqua Blue.

Nintendo also talked about how friend-codes will work. Friend-codes are now specific to each console rather than each game, making playing with friends much easier. Exchanging friend codes will allow you to check your friends list at any time to see who’s online and what they’re playing.

What games do you hope to see during the launch window? Let us know in the comments.
