GameStop Leaks 3DS Release Date: November 22

[SPH73]

The computers for Gamestop have added the Nintendo 3DS in the system now, along with 18 games and 14 accessories listed as available for taking pre-orders on September 29th. They also have a listed a shipping date of November 22nd. (Since postal services are out on weekends, the Nov 20/2010 Sat is the most logical release date, as the orders would be delivered on Monday the 22nd).

It's not like Move or Kinect were going to succeed anyway.

[DeMoN]

I see, a few days before my birthday. If this is true, then perfect.

Gaww, well there goes the surprise factor.

Ah well. At least now I'm waiting for the release date, and not the release date of the release date.

I dont mean to sound like a noob, but will the 3ds be able to play games regardless of the region? like the ds lite, dsi etc?

Most likely yes. So far, Nintendo didn't implement any region locking on handheld ... except for DSiWare that is, since it's an online service.

That goes the same with the going-to-be 3DSWare, but 3DS games? Highly unlikely.

But then again, the whole CrossPass thing makes me wonder if they are going region lock ...


Great news btw

Hopefully the 3DS isn't too big like the DSXL.

Not true. DSi enhanced and exclusive titles do have region lock when used on DSi. Regular DS Lite ignores region lock.

3DS will most likely features a region lock, due to different country using different game rating systems (parental lock).

now we only need the price!

I always said that was the time it would be coming out. Never understood why anyone bought into the "March 2011" line and just assumed it wouldn't be released until sometime in 2011. Desperate to hang on to their antique DS's, I guess. Have your fun with them while they last, guys.

If there is region-lock then I'm definitely skipping out on this one. I'm simply not paying for games at Australian prices.

 

[Range-TE]

awesome, my birthday is november 2 so this is perfect for me to save up.

 

[DeMoN]

Definitely not, the 3DS is smaller than the DSi and DS lite. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_3DS
Note this is the prototype model, but it does not seem like they will be changing it, especially if this release date is true.

 

[SuperMarioMaster]

Woo-hoo! Party! I can't wait for it to come out!!

 

[SPH73]

More drama...

I just called a couple of GameStop stores in Hawaii. They all said the 3DS was NOT listed in their computers.

I wonder what will happen at TGS?
