3ds event confirmed - january 19

[shito]

Nintendo's North American plans for its stereoscopic 3D portable gaming machine will become much more clear on January 19, 2011, when the company holds a preview event for its next big thing, the Nintendo 3DS.
The company will be hosting a Nintendo 3DS event packed with "hands-on game play, demos and a presentation by president and COO of Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aime" next month in New York, where it's expected that release dates, launch titles and price will be officially unveiled to the video game press. Yes, this is a press-only event, but Kotaku will be attending and letting you know exactly what happens.
Japan gets the Nintendo 3DS on February 26. Will North America be too far behind? Best guesses are placing the 3DS for a mid-March release in the States.
And when will we get "launch title" Kid Icarus Uprising, the next Pilotwings, the 3D-enhanced remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and all those other games? Hopefully we'll have the answers to those questions and many more on January 19.

Can't wait for the news from it either... Will it be streamed online?

Fucking press-only.

They better put out a lot of kiosks so people can see it first-hand.

I heard that there was going to be a nintendo press conference in Amsterdam

 

[KingVamp]

We need stream... nao!!!!

 

[TheTwoR's]

Some nice news.

I wish I can be there.

 

[Ssx9]

There will be 2 conferences at the same day. one in Amsterdam and the other in US.

 

[HaniKazmi]

They better have a good campaign planned as nobody seems to know about it yet apart from people like us.

Price point will be 199. It's going to be hard to sell a portable for more than their currently offered console, even if it does have revolutionary graphics.

Nintendo has just announced at their September 29th press conference that the Nintendo 3DS will be available in Japan on February 26th, priced at 25,000 Japanese Yen.

We shouldn’t expect a direct conversion for US pricing, but that figure translates to just under $300, 298 to be exact.

I was expecting $199 at first but now $250 will most likely be the price in the U.S.

Grrr... They have to pick the day after I start classes. Why couldn't it have been during my holiday break? Nintendo breaks my heart; but like an abused spouse, I keep coming back for more punishment.

If I would be you I would not go to school or something, because losing the opportunity to see the 3DS in hand is a lot worth

Press only? That's lame. They nature of the 3DS' main feature pretty much requires that ordinary people, the people who are to buy this, need to see it first-hand. Until there's such an event, I really don't care.

 

[SPH73]

My body is ready.

 

[BrightNeko]

Hopefully they will stream it or something :< 3DS news is usually just what is needed to make days all nice and shiny!

Hoping for a online stream.

Stupid NoA, they will never hold an event in Toronto! Even GameSpot pokemon Events don't include EB Games.
