Clair Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 They better not release it this year. My budget is stretched enough as it is. (btw, your link is broken. At least for me. ;D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DroutTrigger Posted September 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 I totally agree, im even expecting that its some kind of a typo and they meant to say November 22nd, 2011 because at least it would make a lot of sense. are you guys sure? the link is working for me just fine.

Tentacruel Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 No, November 2011 makes perfect sense, as it comes out in Japan in the Spring of 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Roxas Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Considering how they said they would announce the final look and release date on the 29th, I'll just wait eleven days for them to confirm this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Roxas Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 March 31 is the absolute latest, since they plan to release it by the end of the fiscal year. There's no way it would take until November 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 What I don't fully understand that is if the 3DS is going to be released this early (within two months of the BW release), they would have just delayed BW to work on the "full 3D" engine. Since, from what I recall, Japan has consoles a few months before us (but not at a six-month gap like games), having Japan release the 3DS in the 2010 Holiday and have it released in NA in the 2011 Summer makes the most sense. They only just released it on E3 this year. Compare: when was the Wii released compared to its E3 year? If I'm wrong and Japan gets consoles the same time as we do, November 2010 makes no sense whatsoever. In fact, that's pretty stupid on Nintendo's part.

Kiyo Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 So, a day left 'til the release date announcement? I sense another sleepless night for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I'd definitely keep your eyes open for fraudulent information, since a lot of people would love to say "hur hur it is released yesterday", and many idiots would believe that. Unless you can confirm the release date and design from a trusted source, consider it merely speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Leo Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Honestly, I can holding back on getting a new ds to replace my 1st gen ds (yes, thats right, you heard me). I don't think my ds will live til November 2011 :'|.Honestly, I can holding back on getting a new ds to replace my 1st gen ds (yes, thats right, you heard me).

Dark Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I still have my old DSPhat from 2000-and-who-knows-what. And it's about to die - one of the hinges broke off and my R button is almost unresponsive (I blame drifting in MKDS). But it will last for another few months. I'm pretty sure that we'll get the 3DS summer of 2011, but that's probably horrid speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Roxas Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Eh, my GBA just had the L, R, and I think B buttons become unresponsive. My first DS just had scratches on the top and the hinges were loose, then while I was on a cruise, I dropped it, and the hinge broke, but it's still hanging on by the other hinge and actually works. At least I quickly got a replacement. Do tell, what happened to Flame Dragon's DS? EDIT: [url=http://www.gamespot.com/news/6280013.html?tag=latestheadlines%3Btitle%3B1]Release date announced![/url] It's coming out in March, but it has a Virtual Console. YES!

Flame Dragon Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I was using a sharp object as a stylus and it now has a giant scrath. It was a simple case of my brain not working. Really though, side from a large line on the touch screen it's still in good shape for being the first version. Any way, I'm shocked that all the leaks were so off. Also what a lot of people are talking about is the price. ATM it's 25,000Yen (about $300) and a lot of people are saying that's a lot. IMO $300 is a bit much, but I'll still get it for that price. Also things in other parts of the world are often more then they are in the US so odds are it will be close to $250 when it comes out in the US. Also Virtual Console is win.

[/quote] 1) No. Tell us exactly what it was you decided to use as a substitute stylus. 2) To me, the rumors were waaay too early to be believeable. Febuary seems a lot more legitimate when you think about it. 3) Remember how a PS3 is $300 here, and a little over $350 in Japan? Yeah, I'm fairly certain that it ain't gonna be $300 here. EDIT: FD's being a baby, so I'll just say that he misplaced his normal stylus and instead of using the Pokemon Diamond-special edition stylus in his room, he chose to use a pair of scissors. You can probably guess what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiyo Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I'm hoping Nintendo doesn't price it in NA for the actual exchange rate of $300. If they do, they'd be idiots to release a handheld that costs more than their console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
