Sometimes, I thought Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy would make me destroy my 3DS’ analog pad.

Namco Bandai showed off some of the aircrafts in the game, and the radar display on the bottom screen.

Ace Combat 3D is slated for release this year in both the U.S. and Europe.

Believe it or not, Ace Combat 3D is being released in North America this year.

Do our eyes deceive us? No, it’s really a trailer for Ace Combat 3D! Namco Bandai released it after the Nintendo 3DS press conference last night. The game is titled (in Japan) Ace Combat 3D: Cross Rumble:     Ace Combat 3D will be released on the 3DS in early 2012.

Third-party developers are already supporting the Nintendo 3DS’ Circle Pad add-on peripheral as an optional control scheme.

No, we still don’t know when the game is releasing.

Despite the lack of information on the game, Nintendo of Europe say it’s still coming this year.
