Take a look at Japan's Nintendo 3DS Games Lineup this November right here in this 3DS blog post. I call this, a wallet onslaught. From former retail-only games transitioning to the eShop as downloads and new releases plus bundles, Nintendo might be poised to take over sales not just of retail but also of digital downloads as well.
There are many high-profile games in the list. From the eShop we have digital downloads of Mario Kart 7, Starfox 64 3D, Super Mario 3D Land, Ocarina of Time 3D and new releases like Animal Crossing Jump Out. In retail we have the Animal Crossing game along with Paper Mario: Sticker Star, EX Troopers, Pokemon 3DS Mystery Dungeon and Professor Layton v.s. Ace Attorney.
If I am in Japan, I can almost imagine the money I will have to save and earn just to get these games which, most of them, are seemingly the ones that I definitely want. Take a look at the release dates of these games here and at our 3DS games release schedule page:

Sometimes you get to wonder as to why Japan gets so much games and people in the west are frantically saying that the country's gaming industry is near its death. Is it because of all these games they are trying to release in a single month? What about the games being so Japanese they can't sell it elsewhere? I understand this topic is highly debatable. Moving on, soon we'll take a look at what's happening in the eShop sales chart in the States and I'll proceed into working with my release schedule page as well.
