Gaming Gamestop Added 3DS to their system, shipping date confirmed

[Ssx9]

I don't think there will be a lite version. afterall, for the 3D effect to happen, you need a big screen. expect a 2nd versionof the 3DS, But only changing the style of the portable. If they make a smaller 3DS, They'll reduce the portable's size, not the screens.

 

[Leo Cantus]

I'm not gonna pre order, but it will definitely be on my christmas list.

 

[Devin]

I'm not gonna pre order, but it will definitely be on my christmas list.

For next year. I remember I had to pay $500's, to get my Wii the same Christmas it was released.

We are not waiting for a lite version. We are actually waiting for 3DS XL.

 

[Finwen]

I live in Brazil, and I'm gonna pre-order it in Play-Asia, probably. I can't wait to put my hands on this system, I'll play it until I get an overdose of 3D!

Sorry about my poor English.

 

[Midna]

Your English is damn near perfect. Don't worry about it.

 

[Finwen]

Your English is damn near perfect. Don't worry about it.

Thank you! I put that because I'm Brazilian, and I'm learning English, so, it's better put it before someone piece me off!

Sorry about my poor English.

Gamestop is cleaning up current stock to make room for 3DS.

Right now as seen here http://www.gamestop.com/gs/specialty/tradeins/

“Trade your DS lite toward the purcahse of a new DSi or DSi XL and get $60 trade-in credit or trade your DSi and get $80 trade-in credit.”

Currently the offer expires on Sept 26th, which is when the stores will be shifting the stock and shelving around to make room for the upcoming launch of the 3DS.

We were told by the general manager of our three stores, and I’ll quote…

“This thing (the 3DS) is coming soon, we need to get the store ready in three ways, first lets get rid of some of the DSi and DSi XL’s we have, talk to friends, family, anyone and get them out the door, make sure to mention the new lower prices as well as the trade in deals.

Second, we have to start getting the current DSi and DSi XL display models ready to be taken out of the store, we can still demo DS games on the 3DS if need be, but the real focus is going to be on the 3D games, so we need to have one on display.

Third, Nintendo is going to be making everything offical in less than a week, then the pre-order buzz is going to kick in. Make sure to put up all the 3DS posters and signs we get later this week so they are up and ready for Wednesday the 29th.”

Also, the dates in the computers still have Nov 22 2010 as the shipping date.
And snuck a quick peek at some of the games and acessories.

2 and 3 pack Stylus packages.
Screen protectors
Replacement Battery
3 diffrent 3DS skins from Nintendo, listed as “Mario, AC (I think Animal Crossing) and PBW (Pokemon Black/White would be my guess here)

Those are the acessories I can recall, as for the games…

The Sims 3
WarioWare
Madden NFL 11 (Which made perfect sence to me, since they release the next years game the year prior, so in 2011 we will get Madden 12, and so on)
WonderWorld Amusement Park
Kaboom of Doom
Puss N Boots
Lovely Lisa 3D
Kung Fu Panda
de Blob 2
The Penguins of Madagascar
Battle of Giants – Dinosaur Strike

Thats everything I can recall.

Note

Kaboom of Doom and Kung Fu Panda is the same game

I don't know what to make out of this.
It could very well be a fake or it might be true. Just wait and see. I do hope this is real, though!

 

[dxblord3ds]

go to www.gamestop.com and try to search for 3ds

and you will find this link

I don't think that game-stop will open a sing up news page for a system which will release in 2011

and for the comment if the info was fake he will at least add my garden in the list because ea confirm that is is a launch game

even though ea listed the for spring 2011 and later change it after gamestop rumor to TBA

and finally see the NDS Holiday lineup.

 

[mysticwaterfall]

I can believe a late November release date but not the games list.

Starfox 3ds and Kid Icarus are almost certainly launch games based on how far they were at E3 but not on the supposed list, where as WarioWare, which is known not to be a launch game (or at least that was the impression I got from the interview at Joystq) is on the list. There's no way Nintendo will launch the 3DS with such a pathetic software lineup and just the one Nintendo game.

 

[dxblord3ds]

as for the perivous rumor their are 18 games in total.

the list gave us 10

so their are 8 game we don't know them.

I don't think startfox is from the launch because it wasn't that complete in e3 the tec demo game play with no sounds with minor gliches.

same goes to samurai warriors it was an early stage tec demo

 

[DeMoN]

I've never even heard of WarioWare 3DS before and now it's a launch game?

 

[Another World]

amazon.com has 3ds games listed as shipping 12/31/10, if this is correct then the system release date has to be this year and not 2011.

Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3DS
Contra 3DS

Kojima already stated that MGS Snake Eater 3DS wouldn't be out till 2011.

 

[dxblord3ds]

Wario Ware ds took 2 to 3 month in development.

and I think that 3ds this year because of

new zelda wii was delaed till 2011

the next Nintendo console will release next year

According to French site Gameblog.fr , Nintendo is planning to announce the previously rumored Wii 2 which is codenamed Wii HiFi at E3 2010 next week.

To quote from the site, roughly translated: "But beware, according to our information from developers, the 3DS should not be the only machine unveiled by Nintendo.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the manufacturer would conclude his lecture by unveiling its next home console, named Wii is currently code HiFi!

We learn in the aftermath the next home console from Big N would be calibrated for release in November 2011.

• It would have a power similar to that of an Xbox 360
• It should not be called "Wii 2", but Wii HiFi (in any case the code name leaked)
• It would be very oriented online
• One of the main features is the community
• It would be released in November 2011"

Nintendo was welling to announce this system because they thought that the next xbox will be announced in Microsoft E3 but they puled it on the last minute

and finally they can release Pokemon b / w for this year to improve the weak Nds holiday lineup but they choose next year because they have the 3ds for this year.

Contra 3DS

A new Contra!! Damn, that's awesome. I'm gonna get a 3DS at launch (whenever that will be in europe).

 

[DryYoshi]

Too bad I live in Europe. (Even if its fake)
Anyone know if it will be region locked?
And holy sh*t new Contra. Hope they have an easy mode becuase the games are hard as hell.

 

[Hadrian]

Contra was listed back at E3.

The only bit of info we had about a possible 3DS WarioWare was this quote by Sakamoto:

One of the things we must do now is to think about the inevitable Wario Ware for the 3DS, and figure out how to keep it fresh while keeping its presence intact. The director of Wario Ware is always coming up with new ideas, and maybe Do It Yourself, the entry in which you create your own micro-games, has been an attempt to look for new ideas from within the series.

This was said earlier this month and it sounds like they haven't even started on it yet. Also Kung Fu Panda 2: Kaboom of Doom being a launch title in November? 1. The film isn't even out until June next year! 2. None of the other versions are out until next year. Then there is de Blob 2...yeah the others versions aren't out until next year either, THQ like to release a multiplatform game with the other versions.

That launch line up is pure BS to me.

Wario Ware ds took 2 to 3 month in development.

WarioWare did not take 2-3 months to develop! It was announced early 2004 and actually released early 2005! Also the rest of your post is pretty much based on rumours and with not one piece of evidence to support any of those.
