Nintendo releases first quarter release schedule; 3DS Circle Pad, Kid Icarus dated

Nintendo sent out its release schedule for the first quarter of 2012 today, revealing release dates for the 3DS Circle Pad Pro add-on, Kid Icarus: Uprising, Tales of the Abyss and more.

Interestingly, Nintendo also says that the 3DS Circle Pad Pro will only be sold at GameSpot both at retail and online. Earlier this month, Nintendo announced a similar deal with Xenoblade Chronicles‘ release in North America.

Even if you’re not interested in the Circle Pad, there’s still quite a few titles in store for the Nintendo 3DS – but not so much for the Nintendo Wii and the regular ol’ Nintendo DS. To see the full release calendar, see below.
