With the release of Skyward Sword, Nintendo has closed shop on all game development to focus on the next Zelda title … just kidding! (Though it does seem like that sometimes, doesn't it?)

Anyway, Nintendo's first quarter of 2012 seems like a relatively busy one for both the Nintendo 3DS and the Wii console. Nintendo.com has released a partial list of its more popular franchises that are expected to ship in the first quarter of 2012.

Just as a warning: Nintendo has indicated that the release dates are subject to change, so if you are marking your calendars for Country Dance Special Edition on Feb. 1, prepare your broken hearts for a possible delay. Let us pray this won't be the case.
