Nintendo announce 3DS launch details!

[Mesiskope]

it says that it will play gba from the virtual console games in 3D
I wonder if it'll play regular DS games in 3D

Where the hell you get that Idea? are you sure your not high?

with the forced updates and "tag mode" being enabled all the time, you will be more watched than ever from nintendo. just something to think about before you jump in head first and buy this thing.

You can turn the WiFi off you know. You don't have to use it or tag mode.

you can also turn off "location Services" on an iPhone or iPod Touch

but that doesn't mean that then can't still track you

"turning it off" is just a lie to put your mind at ease a think that you're not being watched

Wow. All I can say is...I'll wait 'till December 2011 and get it cheap... or wait until December 2012 and everyone can give it to me for free because the world will end. :\

Nintendo must be high. They've put it in the same price range as notebooks, which can do a hell of a lot more.

>$200
>same price range as notebooks

Now, dear sir, please show me an example of a notebook with decent specs at that price.

It really doesn't cost much if you think of its capabilities, and if you compare it to PSP's 'n shit.

Now all we need are the noobs.

'OMFG CAN IT RLY EMULATE THE N64?'

But seriously. $300?

In pounds, that's around £190!
Only £190? bloody bargain. How much is the DSi? Oh yes, £129.

So when you think about it, it's not that much.

It isn't going to be $200 at launch... It'll be >$320CAD. In less then half a minute I found this (Canadian too).

Go to the UK, where it will cost less than £200.

Ah, you're talking in CAD.

Still though, netbooks ? notebooks.

Yeah but nobody cares about Europe and it would still cost more unless you were a stowaway on a boat

 

[shakirmoledina]

if they release a flashcart pretty soon after the 3ds then i could get it in the same year or else the next year...
it may be expensive but 300$ for such graphics (wii equivalent or better) and with a lot of neat features and games, i dont think its far to think that it might drop to 250$ by christmas 2011

by the way: the round up and esp the trailer is enuf of an advertising scheme for nintendo... great work guys

Maximum trolling.

 

[tbgtbg]

300 bucks for a handheld? Yeah, I'll wait for a price drop, thanks.

 

[Forstride]

lawl, £200 = $325CAD. Same shit and price.

It doesn't matter currency I'm talking about, it's still the same price as a netbook.

Yeah, but you said notebook at first. Like Nathan said, Notebook =/= Netbook.

Plus, what netbook has a 3D-without-glasses display and a touchscreen for $250 USD? Oh yeah, none. Comparing a handheld gaming system to a netbook is like comparing Italian cuisine to mushy baby food, except not as drastic.

EDIT: Forgot to put that I said $250 because in the first post, it said that the Wii was that price as launch, so the 3DS will most likely be what the Wii was at launch in all other countries as well, which was $250 in most places including the US.

 

[Splych]

ouch $300 ,
EBGames / GameStop will probably have some promo where you trade in games for a reduced price , hopefully .

 

[_Chaz_]

I remember how some of the games' graphics didn't look all that great, but now it seems like they fixed it up a bit.

Personally, I almost nerd-gasmed when StarFox came on screen.

So Nintendo doesn't want people to pirate their games, comes out with a new handheld to also help combat this, and wants to charge a premium for the system? Real smooth.

begin rant -
I will be the only person on the AC transit in Oakland with a Nintendo 3DS! You know that things have gotten out of hand when your handheld costs as much as a car payment! NINTENDO IS OUT OF CONTROL WITH THEIR NEW OVERPRICED GAMING SYSTEM! Time for Sega or Microsoft to step up to the plate. You know that you've been ripped off if you pay for the latest handheld gaming system and there's a little gold sticker on the bottom that says on it "Made in Taiwan, ROC"
- end rant

 

[KingVamp]

Now people can stop saying this is just another ds, if u still do, I can not help u there

Anyway Screw the price I want it!!!!

 

[Daizu]

Pretty impressive release titles. Personally excited about MGS, RE, and DoA. But man, $300 dollars is a bit pricey. =/ Probably not gonna get it right away then.
