Nintendo Reveals Dates for Kid Icarus: Uprising, Mario Party 9 and More in Early 2012

It finally seems like the 3DS has gotten its legs underneath it, even as the Wii's glory days fade further into the rear view. But there's an unspecified while yet until the Wii U hits retail shelves and Nintendo's still got a bunch of software coming on the home console and handheld fronts. The company's released a partial list of games that will be out in early 2012 and highlights include Kid Icarus: Uprising, Resident Evil Revelations and Rhythm Heaven Fever. They're also announcing that the Circle Pad Pro will be available in the United States on February 7 for $20.
