Nintendo's E3 Direct presentation was very 3DS-centric and featured a lot of new game announcements and confirmation of some leaked titles.
Here we've compiled all of the newly-announced and confirmed 3DS games into a single article:
Hyrule Warriors Legends
The 3DS version of Hyrule Warriors was confirmed. This version will release next year and will include all of the characters and DLC from the Wii U as well as two new characters - Tetra and The King of Red Lions - and new stages.
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam
As the name implies, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam combines the Mario & Luigi series with both the graphical and gameplay style of the Paper Mario series. This title is set for release next spring.
The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes
The latest entry in the handheld series of Zelda titles, The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes was a surprise announcement. This Zelda title is co-op centric and boasts new mechanics like the player totem pole and outfits with unique abilities.
Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer
We covered the Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer announcement here. It will allow you to redesign the community's homes and will utilise augmented reality cards.
Fire Emblem Fates
This was actually announced over a year ago and is due to release later this month in Japan. Expect a 2016 western release though.
Metroid Prime: Federation Force
A new Metroid game has been the cards for quite a while now. This is perhaps not what fans really wanted from the series, but hey, it's more Metroid!
Yo-Kai Watch
Yo-Kai Watch is finally heading to the west. Here's the first English language trailer for the game:
Nintendo also released two post-Direct trailers for a couple of eShop titles:
FAST Racing Neo
SteamWorld Heist

Their E3 trailer list is actually not too shabby. Problem is half of it was not in the conference. Which was asinine.
dat metroid...lol
It's funny. We all expected the Wii U to have a great E3 and for the 3DS to be left in the dust, but it was the other way around.
The 3DS should have a pretty good 2015 and 2016; support is certainly there.
Pretty good lineup compared to the lackluster Wii U lineup
Most hyped for Mario and Luigi, Yokai, and of course, Fire Emblem
The Wii U lineup of the next 8 to 10 months actually isn't that bad, their conference just made it look worse than it is. Star Fox, XCX, SMTxFE, Yoshi's Woolly World, Super Mario Maker, Fatal Frame V, Devil's Third, Mario Tennis, Mario and Sonic at the Rio Olympics, FAST Racing Neo. Not all juggernauts and the Animal Crossing Amiibo game feels phoned in, but overall pretty good and well rounded. Problem is the Digital Event only showed six of those and only a few got substantial coverage. Which is part of why the Digital Event was so bad. And the 3DS also has games coming that weren't in the Digital Event. And of course, there were numerous competent indies missing. Stupid planning blunder on Nintendo's end.
If only the Wii U got any support this year. "Fast Racing Neo" is actually a Wii U game, BTW.
