Category:Games released in 2011

The Nintendo 3DS gets off to a rocky start, which was titled the "3DS drought" among the fandom. Come a decent price cut and several critically-acclaimed titles like Super Mario 3D Land, however, its performance quickly does a 180 and it proves its worth as another wildly successful Nintendo handheld. A gigantic earthquake and tsunami off the eastern coast of Japan impacted the video game industry, delaying software releases. There was also a flood of sequels coming in. iOS 5 gets released, allowing games to not only be multiplayer, but also give you notifications. Minecraft is also 'completed' this year, though huge content updates continue to happen to this day.
