We’ve been waiting for Nintendo to give solid dates for their upcoming lineup, and finally Nintendo has done just that.

Nintendo is starting the 3DS’s 2013 lineup with a double whammy targeting both casual and hardcore gamers.  For the hardcore sect, Fire Emblem launches on February 4th, and comes with a swanky 3DS XL hardware bundle.  A week later on the 10th, Nintendo will play to the casual market with the release of Brain Age: Concentration training, which promises to help gamers block out life’s various distractions.  A demo of the game will be available on the 24th of January.  Moving along, March 5th will see the release of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow- Mirror of Fate, a game that will combine the classic 2D Castlevania style with the 3D style of Lords of Shadow.  On March 24th the long awaited sequel to Luigi’s Mansion will hit the 3DS with new mansions to explore and more ghosts to vacuum.  Luigi’s Mansion won’t be making the trip to retail alone, as it will be accompanied by Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates To Infinity.  Gates To Infinity will use the 3DS’s camera to unlock new dungeons by taking pictures in the real world.  Finally, Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins will make its 3DS debut on April 21st.  The game will be a prequel to the Wii U version and will follow Chase McCain’s exploits as a rookie cop.

Speaking of Lego City Undercover, the Wii U version will hit stores on March 18th allowing players to take control of Chase McCain to stop the evil Rex Fury.  Lego City Undercover will be followed closely by Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate which brings all of the monster hunting action you’ve come to love in HD.  Nintendo reconfirmed that The Wonderful 101, Game and Wario, Pikmin 3, and Wii Fit U would hit the Wii U in the first half of the year, but hasn’t provided concrete dates at the time.

Even the Wii will get a little bit of love.  Xseed has taken it upon themselves to publish the eagerly anticipated localization of Pandora’s Tower.  The game will be released sometime in the spring.

Below is a partial list of upcoming launch dates in the United States and Canada. Note that game titles and launch dates are subject to change.
