Jump inside for the release dates and fresh footage from TGS.

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.

Yesterday Nintendo held its much-hyped pre-TGS 3DS Conference and dropped all kinds of footage and announcements. All of the dates they revealed were, appropriately, for Japan only. But those crafty folks over at Nintendo of America were ready to go today with a press release revealing several major dates for the North American versions of some major titles.

First up is the big one: Super Mario 3D Land is coming here on 11/3. But since Mario likes to spread the fun around, it’ll be followed on 12/4 by Mario Kart 7. The heavy hitters will be complimented by Fortune Street on 12/5 and Fossil Fighters: Champions on 11/14. Meanwhile, Paper Mario 3D and Luigi’s Mansion 2 won’t arrive until undetermined dates in 2012.
