Nintedo 3DS release date

[Kiyo]

But a $100 regional price difference seems like a bit too much, doesn't it?

It ain't going to be THAT much less. If I had to guess, it'll probably be around $250. Which seems reasonable for something like this.

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!

Spring 2011, I don't think "March" has been confirmed. But yeah, I laugh at everyone who said November or Holiday 2010. I knew for a fact that would not release it that early. Still, hopefully it comes out AFTER American Black and White, because then they could have halted production on BW and made it work for "real" 3D graphics instead of 3D-rendering in 2D.

The Japanese release date is Holiday 2010 or Jan 2010? Somewhere around there, correct?

Virtual Console [i]is[/i] very win, and hopefully if we can buy RSEFRLG on 3DSVC, we can migrate those Pokemon to DPPtHGSS, and then double-migrate to BW. OOH YUMMY.

But I really love the handheld VC thing.

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.

A SCISSOR?

Between $220 and $250 sounds about right for $300 from yen, but that is still shocking. Why would they make a handheld cost more than a console? Right now you can buy a Wii, WiiSports, WiiSports Resort, and WiiMotionPlus for $200. And this is just a console, and for anywhere between 10% to 25% more. Not really smart advertising. Either way, I'll be getting this for sure. It'll be a bit tight on my budget, BUT DAMN THIS IS 3D NINTENDO STUFF.

So far, it's only Gameboy and Gameboy Color games. Which means that it'll be RBYGSCTETRISDAWNKEEKAWNGMARIOZELDAMEGAMANWARIOLANDMAYBESOMEKIRBYANDOTHERSTUFFWHYAMITYPINGLIKETHIS

I thought it had some GBA games, but I was mistaken. Still, that'd be kick-ass. Especially for people like me who started Pokemon in Gen II and never experienced RBY.

I'm really happy about the new release date. Time to save up. ^^

I need a new DS. My Lite's hinges are lose and now the screen just flops around. ;_;

[Kiyo]

That article made the 3DS even more awesome. VC sounds great

Mine too! It's impossible to play games like KH on it now.

EDIT:
Launch line-up looks epic.

[Phantom Roxas]

They said March is the exact month the 3DS comes out in America.

I'll only gets [i]Legend of Zelda: Oracles of Seasons and Ages[/i] on the Virtual Console. I could easily get a ROM, but I actually want to play the games on a handheld once again, since I lost the copies I got. I do want them to have GBA games though.

[Lonk]

I probably should register a copy of the 3DS right now? According to charts revealed by GameInformer, 3DS will be the hottest selling electronic (I really don't want to wait 2 years to get 3DS like what happened to the Wii at Christmas at 2007-2008).

[Kiyo]

I'd probably wait until after the first week. The thing's probably gonna be sold out quickly where I live.
That, or pre-order if they let us.

Maybe, if Nintendo REALLY loved us. But, whether they love us that much or not has yet to be seen.

[Dark]

As much as I'll kill myself for it later, I'll probably not get the 3DS until the 2011 Holiday.

But regardless, I know a few of my friends who will get it, so I can test it out. =P

If GF does do Hoenn remakes, I highly doubt it.

[CDude]

What about Europe? I don't think it said when it was coming out in Europe?

[Mehmani]

Despite the awesomeness of the GB/GBC Virtual Console, I'm still going to go down to Greenwich Market sometime soon. That place is a goldmine for old games.

[TheComposer]

My hinge literally broke and i could take it off 1 hinge, still have it on the other, and play it. I got a new one though. Why it happened? Dropped it 1 too many times. Then I just destroyed it to make it look better for when i traded it in for a new one with meh shiny warranty
