FIFA 12 Nintendo 3DS

FIFA 12 for the Nintendo 3DS is a full-featured portable football (soccer) simulation game that leverages the 3D effects and touchscreen capabilities of the handheld console. Unlike its console counterparts which introduced major gameplay changes like the Player Impact Engine, the 3DS version features unique controls and modes specifically tailored for the system. 

Key aspects of the game include:

• Stereoscopic 3D Visuals: The game runs in stereoscopic 3D, bringing the stadiums and action to life. A unique "curved pitch" effect in the Street Soccer mode maximizes the 3D depth perception.
• Touch Screen Controls: Optional touchscreen controls allow for precise shooting and free-kick accuracy. Players can tap a specific spot on the lower screen's goalpost graphic to aim shots with surgical precision.
• Authenticity and Licenses: It features over 500 officially licensed clubs and more than 50 real-world tournaments from top leagues like the Barclays Premiership, Bundesliga, and MLS.
• Diverse Game Modes: The game offers multiple modes to play:
• 11 vs. 11 Matches: Authentic full-team football matches.
• 3D Street Soccer: A 5-on-5 mode played in various global street locations (e.g., Brazil, France), featuring players in casual streetwear.
• Career Mode: An in-depth mode where players can choose to play or manage their way to glory over successive seasons, setting goals and achieving performance enhancements.
• Be A Pro: Create a custom player and take them from street matches to a professional club and national team.
• Tournament Mode: Compete in over 50 real-world competitions.
• Multiplayer: Head-to-head matches are available via local wireless play (using ).
• Gameplay Tempo: The gameplay is described as more "sedate" or thoughtful than the high-paced console versions, which encourages more tactical passing. 

Overall, FIFA 12 delivers a jam-packed portable experience, noted as a significant improvement over previous handheld football titles at the time of its release in 2011.
