Nintendo 3DS conference approaches
Less than one day to go

The time is almost upon us to find out the final details on the Nintendo 3DS when Nintendo host their press conference tomorrow, September 29, in Japan.

The conference is expected to reveal details on the release date and price in land of the rising sun. Some media outlets have said there will be a November launch in Japan with an international launch in early 2011. We'll find out tomorrow if those predictions prove to be true.

We still don't know for certain if the 3DS design shown at E3 is in fact the final design for the unit but you can expect to find out tomorrow.

Foreign media have been barred from the conference, so it is expected to only deal with specific details for Japan. However, Nintendo of America has said they will release some basic information to media tomorrow as well.

According to a leak obtained by IGN, the specs of the 3DS are as follows:

-CPU: 2x 266MHz ARM11
-GPU: 1x PICA200 133MHz GPU by DMP
-RAM: 64MB
-Video RAM: 4MB
-Storage : 1.5GB internal flash memory

UPDATE: The time for the conference has been announced. If you'd like to see what time that would be in your region you can check here.

Updates will be posted on GBAtemp as they come. But until then feel free to speculate away!

Hmmm, I'm still waiting for the price range. If my calculations are correct, it should cost between 270-350 dollars.

 

[Kwartel]

[Sonicslasher]

Eeeeeeek! I forgot all about the time difference between us and them. That means I get to learn all of this sweet information tonight

Nope, there won't be liveblogs either I think.
Only big japanese newspapers are allowed to enter the conference it seems.
EDIT: Wait I think there will be liveblogs now... Agh I'm not sure

I don't have time to use the PC when I get up, I have to breakfast and go to school very fast :/
But around 13.00 (our time) I should be back already, so I'll do it then first thing.

Aaaahh that way! I wil have to leave my house at 9 in the morning so I'm not in a rush.

 

[mangaTom]

The time difference between Tokyo(Japan) and here is just one-hour so I'll be getting the info(I hope so) one hour earlier here(Phil).Not that it matters though since I'll still get it.

 

[tenshinoneko]

OMG less than 13 hours to go =D

 

[kadyome]

can't wait!! more exciting than waiting for christmas or even MY BIRTHDAY!! xDD but yeah what's more exciting to waiting for a 3DS lite if there ever was

D

 

[campbell00]

Wow, on a somewhat unrelated note, I'm more than a day behind Japan. Time is truly an amazing concept.

On topic: it's 12 noon now, so that means it should start pretty soon!

 

[Canonbeat234]

So what happen if I accidentally break my 3DS, how much will it cost to repair the 3D screens?

 

[kadyome]

we will know that when it comes out... and why would you dare to even ACCIDENTALLY break it!? how dare?!! LOL! If i had my own, I'd protect it against any other threat, even a breath can't touch it!! xDD
