This Friday will be an extremely important day for Nintendo. Not only is the New 3DS launching, but The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate are releasing as well. These three products could all be a part of Nintendo’s “lucky” Friday the 13th.

Speaking with MCV, Nintendo UK head of consumer marketing James Honeywell said the company is initially targeting its existing fanbase with the New 3DS’ arrival. As for the new 3DS games, Majora’s Mask 3D and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate should appeal to longtime gamers, and may bring interest for newcomers.

Honeywell’s words in full:

Majora’s Mask is a title that fans have been asking for a long time so it has an instant base. Beyond this we really want to make sure we introduce it to a whole new audience. For Monster Hunter we really feel now is the time when we can really open the title up to a Western audience. The developers have listened to existing players and given them more of what they want, but also ensuring that this new installment is the most open to newcomers.
