Nintendo announce 3DS launch details!

I thought that if the price was right, I might get the first version of the 3ds, but that's more than i would ever consider paying for it... ever. besides, by the look of the case, this will get a lot better looking over time. If you get past the excitement of the new features, this is the ugliest console they've made in 4 years.

I don't think Nintendo ever officially even released the Wii's hardware specs. I could be wrong though. So, I wouldn't look forward to an official Nintendo spec announcement anytime soon.

Not that it matters, it has awesome games. The end.

Looks fine to me, but the only con about the design is different size between the screens. Just wtf?

 

[janouis]

how about the battery life?

 

[DEagleson]

Looks more like a launch day purchase despite the sell price. ;D
Also great news that i can keep my DSiWare.

Looks like I finally have a reason to be saving some of my pay. I'm totally buying this and all the decent launch games the second it hits my local shelves. If for no other reason than to celebrate that due to my new found job, I can actually pay for this sort of thing in cash rather than a combination of traded games and sexual favours.

Any idea what sort of games will be launch titles here in the UK? I'm gonna say that Kid Icarus, Star Fox, Zelda, Mario, Nintencats, Animal Crossing and Street Fighter 4 are probably gonna be there. Hopefully DOA will be a launch title too. 3D jiggle physics FTW.

graphics look better than expected. launch price is a bit high but justified by what this hardware is doing compared to the dsi. the games look great and a lot of fun. the design of the unit is a bit "phat" and i for one hope they eventually offer a lite version.

i've always loved 3D and i expect i'll pre-order this system. the first nintendo system i've had at launch since the SNES =P.

I think this would be the god of all handhelds....with the games coming out it will be like an all purpose handheld...who would have though I could take MGS 3 snake eater on the go or Tales of the Abyss....even Legend of Zelda OOT and Super SFIV, while playing Wii quality games and even being able to play the games I grew up one (hence the GB/GBC games)...I couldn't be more happier with this handheld and its definitely worth the price

EDIT
If this thing gets hacked....It'll be more great when all the homebrews hit.

I SWEAR that video made me wet.

I'm so going to buy it, whatever it takes. Tales of the Abyss, man TALES OF THE ABYSS. Ocarina of Time, Super Street Fighter IV, Dead or Alive, pretty much everything in that video made me want it. It supports GB/GBC/GBA, DSiWare...and, and, and IN THREE DEE. I'm just saying.

*dies*

 

[heartgold]

Well it is expensive, nevertheless I'll pre-order it as soon as its possible, Nice graphics and look at the launch titles

Must want!

 

[Devin]

The Wii launched for $249.99 here, so thats the price were looking at? (USA)

 

[Memino]

I'm not crazy about that design, I don’t see a reason for the bottom screen being smaller, and arguably a second analog stick would make fps games and certain action games much more comfortable but that's debatable. The main problem I have though is the constant revisions of hardware that are inevitably going to hit us. I would have loved the option to pay for a smaller/bigger screen model for lower/higher cost right from release so everyone has a choice for their needs. I use my ds at home so I would love a big screen model, while other people use it day to day while travelling so would like a lite smaller model. I know it's typical nintendo but it's the reason I'm going to wait a bit before getting it; at the very least the price will drop if I wait.

 

[KinGamer7]

The graphics for the two Resident Evil games are just insane!

 

[Fyrus]

Tales of the Abyss, man TALES OF THE ABYSS.

Wait, what ? Where ?

 

[Mythrix]

I don't care about the price, I'll preorder this as soon as it's available in my country. xD (One of the advantages of having a full-time paid job I guess.)

When I bought the first-gen DS I was thinking "imagine if they made one with actual 3D". And then they did! I love you Nintendo! I'm still using the first-gen DS too, never found a good enough reason to upgrade. Before now.

 

[Deleted User]

Can't wait to get my hands on one.

 

[Slyakin]

I don't care about the price. I'll just trade in my DSi and DSi XL for this bad boy.

Same here.

Really excited about VC.

 

[Scott-105]

K, well it's time to save up. It seems I'm gonna blow like $500 in March. I want a 3DS, and hopefully 2-3 games.

 

[Fudge]

Looks aweskme. There's no way I will be able to get one at launch though.
