Nintendo to release 3DS in october...?

[DSGamer64]

FYI a fiscal year is a 12 month period set by a company, Nintendo's happens to be the last day of March being the last day of their fiscal year. So it could be any point between now and March 2011.

I'm positive Golden Sun DS will stay DS and not 3DS.

Maybe October for a Japan release and March for worldwide?

Golden Sun only for the 3DS would be a reason to buy it.

Would be a smart move for Nintendo if they did.

I really hope they don't though.

It would make more sense if they released it in December. It would sell out the day it comes out because of christmas shopping.

But I wouldn't mind October. I'd probably get myself one.

this is better to be real
loveplus3DS !!! hooray

Hope it gets released in october, then I could get it on christmas.

Also, really looking forward to E3 this year...new Zelda game, 3DS etc... Its gonna be awesome

Would be cool if they released it everywhere at the same time. But that's not gonna happen. And this is most likely fake too.

The Wii has lots of bloody games, just the DS doesn't.

The DS doesn't have that many good games lately, but it sure has a lot more than the Wii! I mean, just look at all the great games released in 2004-2008! 2009 also had some good releases, and so will 2010.

Damn it... Just when I was thinking about getting a DSi.

Great news.

If true, then that means the 3DS could launch within mere weeks of Pokemon Black & White... I wonder if that will have any effect on the game's popularity. There are still some people who're dissapointed that they weren't 3DS titles.

Doubt it, it'll sell shitloads regardless. Remember that most DS games will work on the 3DS with exception to maybe those that require the GBA slot, if anything it could sell even more as there are a lot of people who don't have a DS (they may have sold one or one broke) so they could be intending to pick up a 3DS instead.

True, I'm sure the games will still sell a ton. But I don't imagine B&W will look very good next to those shiny, new 3DS launch titles. They'll run on the 3DS, sure... though if Nintendo is using those Sharp parallax barrier touchscreens that were recently announced as ready for mass production, the 3DS will have a resolution of 854x480 (which about lines up with the Gamecube-tier graphics rumours). How will a DS game look scaled up to that resolution?

Level 5 are supposedly making a game for it

Smells like a worldwide launch to me. Have Nintendo ever done that with a handheld before?

Also looks likely that Black/White will be released at the same time but if 3DS was a simultaneous worldwide launch then Black/White wouldn't be ready for other markets unless translation is done super quick (considering there were unofficial translations for HG/SS, albeit rather bad ones, just days after release an official team could do the same). This certainly gives credibility to my theory that Bk/Wt have 3DS enhancements but still work on the DS.

Maybe Pokemon Black and White will release with the 3DS.

I'm gonna make myself believe it's not true, because if I think it is then it doesn't come out in October, I'd literally cry.
