hey I'm Jeff Bakalar for cnet.com we're here at the 3d s press event in New York City we have everything we need to know about the hardware but what about the software why don't you come with me and let's check out some of these games our first game demo is steel diver you might remember the game as a tech demo but Nintendo gave it its own game to the 3ds it's going to be one of the launch games and basically you're controlling the submarine the height and acceleration of the of the vehicle and you get to shoot missiles there's also a periscope mode we actually have to move your entire body to shoot missiles at oncoming shifts so that's our first game demo and there's a lot more stuff to see here let's go check them out right now I guess you can't release a new game console without Madden so here it is Madden football for the 3ds plays a sort of like how we used to on the iPad that sort of experience but it's going to be coming up very soon in the 3ds game launch window we're really psyched to get our final hands on it and that's it for Madden football all right the next game we've got is legend of zelda ocarina of time it's a game you might recall widely regarded as one of the best Zelda games ever 3d makeover for the 3d as the 3d really adds something special to it the effect is spectacular and it's going to make you want to play the entire game over all over again all right this is Pilotwings resort takes place in the same area from sports resort pilotwings is a classic Nintendo game where you fly around and hit goals and use jetpacks the top balloons and stuff like that really fun and the 3d effect on this is so far the most impressive that we've seen out of all the games here it's a lot of fun gives you that really realistic 3d flying effects there's a lot more games I have to play Resident Evil at some point let's go check it out all right this is Super Street Fighter 4 in 3d s completely rendered and 3d this is a very interesting experience because you're playing in one dimension the backgrounds in another and they're sort of you know it's almost tough to keep your eye on the action because you're sort of looking around all over the screen but this is going to be one of the launch window titles for the 3ds it's coming soon can't wait to play the final version let's see what else they got all right we finally made it this is Resident Evil mercenaries 3d it's sort of like an all-star game it features a lot of scenes from past Resident Evil games and combines them into one sort of Arcadia experience by far the best-looking game we've seen here at the event today and the 3d effect is just awesome once you lock in it really is spectacular alright there's a lot of other games here that we didn't get to like Nintendogs + Cats reach racer there's going to be a lot of stuff available at launch but one thing we want to sort of disclose to everyone is you know all these games we've been showing has had the 3d slider off now you have to have it officer that the camera is able to shoot the image and it doesn't look all screwy but when you do pick it up and you turn that 3d effect on it works really well and once you're locked into that sweet spot the game actually is pretty spectacular that's going to do it for us here in New York at the 3d s press event I'm Jeff Bakalar for cnet.com thanks so much for watching
