Remember guys, don't just look at the base price. Prices in Japan has already included the necessary sales tax for them. In US, however, sales tax was charge after the base price. So total price will most likely reach $300.

in Europe I think it would be €250 so think that would be the same price in dollar's so

unfortunately it looks even less lefty friendly than the original ds

It looks fine to me.

Would you even say that for the PSP?

Wtf? I'm a lefty, and every single system (handheld or console) has always been just fine. If you can't work a few buttons using your fingers, you need to stop gaming.

I'm ok with my PSP too, and my hands are big. Still, if the analog stick will be used the most, I would probably prefer having it above the D-Pad.

Anyone remember the Atari Lynx, whre you could turn the system upside down and play it totally leftyfied?

Wait. Are the 3DS games going to have a different format from the DS games? If so, then Nintendo will probably stop supporting the DS, and we might not have DS games anymore.
I really hope we will be able to play 3DS games on the DS, I don't care about 3D, as long as I can play them on my DSi.

I'm going to be frank about this:

No "might" about it, this is a new generation of handheld, so the DS will stop.
And 3DS games on a DSi; seriously? Have you ever tried playing a Wii game on a NES?

I really still believe that the Normal DS will have releases. The DS/i is really an important handheld just to forget about.

US$300=393Brunei dollars,add other cost so its around 400-500+ T_T and the game price will also increased maybe around $80-90+BND T_T

 

[Zerosuit connor]

very nice, but I think that I'll stand by my decision to ignore the first revision of 3DS.

Also has anyone heard anything about what the battery is like? I'm pretty curious as to how they can afford to have always-on wifi...

I'm curious as to how long the baterry will last with that and the freaking 3d features of some games plus sound jeez its gonna drain it like hell. So i hope they change it.

The Game Boy was an important handheld at the time, as were former operating systems to their relative companies. You can't expect support to go on forever, and I don't think the DS will last for much longer after the release of the 3DS; maybe a couple of years maximum.

Zerosuit connor: In future, please use the edit button rather than making several posts in a row.

OH great. Now I have to go waste my money on a 3DS. Best news ever.

 

[YayMii]

At least you guys don't live in Zimbabwe, where 25000 JPY converts into $3780358197205 (or $3.78 trillion) ZWD.

 

[Salax]

They should add virtual boy games to VC.

Seriously.
