I have checked in with the staff at my local EB Games and this HAS been confirmed by them that they will be available (at their stores) at the time of launch. It's not a rumour if it's confirmed by the staff themselves.

So much talk about piracy and such...I personally dont care, because people are going to do whatever they want to, and if its free, and can be found on the internet, its going to be downloaded.period. No one is going to stop them(or you or me...etc) if they have access to whatever they find on this internet. People do whatever they want, when they want to, on this internet, because its an anonymous freeworld, with free/used/and new goods to be aquired/purchased/copied/read. This my friends is the world we all type in.

Sorry about the rant...

On-Topic-
I'm buying the 3DS whatever the amount of dollars, and be glad I did, and

to whoever does also.

I wouldn't trust EB Games or Gamestop. If this was legitimate news, it would be everywhere. For all you know, the employees just told you that to try and sell you a 3DS. With no actual launch details, there is no proof that they were lying. They can just sort of say whatever they want and not worry about it until the real launch list is common knowledge.

You need to consider though: No news site has this info. Nintendo has not announced this info. The info is nowhere else on the internet.

What are the odds it is anywhere even near legitimate?

... EB Games / Gamestop employees lie all the time. "Confirmation" from an employee is laughable at best. They told you what you wanted to hear and what would get you back into the store again.

That much for a handheld? Haha! I'm not getting it!

You could ask them if zombie ninja death monkeys will be stocked at Gamestop, and they would say yes just to get you in the store.

they showed me (or rather I looked over the counter at it) their computer with all the names of the titles that were to be released at the time, LoZ and KI were among them ON-SCREEN. There's a little bit of extra proof in case you need it.

EDIT: Also, australia hasn't got Gamestop, so I can't ask them, and my local EB has always been reliable about upcoming products because I keep goin there.

Pojnt 1: EB Games/Gamestop have on many occasions put games in their computer without confirmation that they would be released in their region.

Point 2: EB Games and Gamestop is one and the same.

Point 3: No offense, but now we have to take YOUR word for it, and not just a gamestop employee, which, imo, doesn't make your story any more believable.

From point 1 I do see your point, but it doesnt mean they were lying, it just means they're going out on a limb with no solid evidence. But I will be SEVERELY disappointed if they can't pull it through, and I'll just buy the 3DS and no games. Also Australia's PREDICTED price at launch is $349, while a preowned DSi sells for $249... if its value goes down at launch, then I'll still end up paying only around $150.

At the very least, you can easily say Kid Icarus won't be a launch title for the AUS region. That game has a release of Winter 2011 I believe right now, and that is for Japan as far as I'm aware.

LoZ: OoT 3D is simply slated for Spring 2011. Japan will see it in the first couple of months as long as dates don't get pushed around, and we may see it in NA around the same time if localization is done quickly and effectively. When AUS will get it though, I don't know, whenever it gets there I suppose. I'm not sure how long the gap of time usually is.

I can 100% for sure tell you though that neither of those titles are gonna be launch titles for any country except possibly OoT if they pull it out of their ass last minute as a launch title.

I seriously doubt that a port of a n64 game will be a launch title.

I've seen crazier stuff happen... like Monkat's picture before!

Sorry everyone, my little bit of misinformation has brought this discussion WAY off-topic. Let's go back to complaining about how ridiculous this price is!

ShadowFyre · Jan 17, 2011

And in the event that the 3DS IS priced that high?... then nintendo is asking for piracy.

Rydian · Jan 17, 2011

How the fuck you gonna' pirate the system?

dude its all over the internet! just google "download 3DS" and you'll find it in the first link! I just got it it's fucking incredible!
EDIT: if this was real life, my friends would yell "SHUT UP!" at me for taking the joke too far. trusting you guys at the Temp network are actually pretty cool guys, i am asking as a friend to not yell that at me as im rather sensitive. but im offtopic yet again. At least the Australian PREDICTED price seems reasonable...

No. Rydian takes things just as far as you do too. So both of you, SHUT UP!

Anyways, what's this convert into for USD? I'm too lazy. It'll most likely be over $200.00 still though right? If that's the case, I'm not giving Nintendo any of my easily earned money before the console goes below $200.00. No handheld is worth more than $200.00, no matter what kind of useless gimmicks they have in it.
