March 1st?

I doubt I'll be able to afford it by then, seeing as how finding a job is fucking impossible, but I guess that means hacking attempts will commence sooner than I thought.

Would be neat.

I laughed at HD 3D movies...

Date may not be fake, but the poster is.

"HD" is not subjective. It does NOT just mean "higher quality".
High-Definition (in relation to video) is a concrete term as defined by the US government, and the 3DS is NOT capable of displaying high-definition content. Whoever made that poster, it wasn't somebody at Nintendo, they wouldn't make a flub like that.

 

[Midna]

No point. That's 3 days after the Japanese release.

the font on "NINTENDO 3DS" logo on the poster doesnt even look like the right font that nintendo uses

And everyone knows that definitions by a government agency in the US apply globally...
That site is a UK site, so any US-specific information does not apply there. For instance, being part of Europe (with a 50 Hz power grid), it does not use M timing and therefore does not have the same resolution as standard NTSC to use as a reference frame (not to mention not using NTSC at all). With the only universal meaning of HD remaining "bigger resolution than the established standard", the HD term is moot, as there are no established standards for video game handhelds.

Fake...

I would like to recommend you guys this: http://nintendoworld2011.com/
It's the guy from Nintendo3DSBlog in Japan making pictures and video's live during the event. It's going on right now. Page refreshes automaticlly to show new post. (AFAIK)

Study and recommendation in Europe with definitions.

Nintendo would not call the 3DS "High-Definition" because it's not.

All Rydian is saying is that Nintendo did not make the poster, and it's possible that the franchise the store belonged to didn't make it either. The store's employees probably made it themselves.

I was in a GAME store today, and they had leaflets at the conter saying almost the same, except instead of saying 'out March 1st', they said ' more details January 19/20th'.

Also, the HD 3D movies isn't the only wrong part. It says about an 'analog depth slider controller', lol, way to go GAME.

How dense are you exactly?

HD is HD whichever way you look at it, and the 3DS doesn't have a high enough resolution to be classified as high definition.

The standard being at least 720p, the standard that pretty much everything that claims to be "HD" should adhere to.

fake
last sunday of march will be most likely
i've hardly ever seen early releases, especially that february 26th is too close
