No 3DS Until March 2011?

[Rayder]

I'd welcome any donations of a 3DS for my 43rd birthday. (March 18)

I just wonder how long DSlite games will continue to be produced after the 3DS gets released. I'm guessing 2 years at the absolute maximum, because I'm sure Ninty is anxious to eliminate piracy on their handhelds and dumping off the original DS game support would be the best way to do that. Why else would they have announced the 3DS so soon after the DSi....well, other than the fact that DSi sales aren't what they might have hoped? I imagine that they have already ended any future DSlite game development and the only regular DS games still coming are only because they already began development on them. I would think that they are going to focus solely on DSi and 3DS from here on out. I think it would be incredibly stupid to do otherwise....from a business standpoint anyway.

Let us not forget that nearly every first party title, for the 3DS, on Nintendo's E3 site are "3D" versions of N64 games (Ocarina of Time, Star Fox, etc). And the graphics seemed to outshine N64's a bit.

Accounting for the smaller-than-a-TV screen size and lower resolution, the graphics (the rendering, anyway) look more like a Gamecube than an N64.

They need to do a Mario Sunshine port... ideally it's a last-minute surprise launch title they've got up their sleeves. If not, I hope it gets released within the first year or so.

I would love that but I would much rather see a brand new 3D Mario title for the console, specifically made with 3D in mind. I dont want a port but imagine if a title similar to Galaxy was created. It would be great.

we wont see the 3DS probably until summer 11 or winter 11

The date is confirmed to be before then. By best would be sometime in November because of Christmas shopping starts around that time. Plus it is a safe bet based on previous release dates.

I don't mind having to wait another year, or even more, as long as that means they're going to make it a real beauty, with every possible bug already fixed and maybe some slightly better specs too (although it is already near perfection now!

)

Which region is this?

I think we should all pitch in to buy a 3DS for Team Twiizers. I'm not saying it's for piracy, I almost only use Homebrew on both my PSP and DS (with the only exception being Pokémon). Who's with me?

ONTOPIC: Please let it fall on March 3!!!! I want one for my B-day :yayds:

Well, by GameFAQs, the 3DS comes out in Japan sometime in October:

From where the hell do they get this information?
It's like some other guy said - "they came from the future".

GameFAQs is known for making up random release dates and then changing them as real release dates are announced.

Speculation: Won't be region free - It will follow the distribution model of the DSi.

Dsi only regionlocked the dsiware due to different countries having different release dates due to languages. I'm hoping retail games will still be regionfree.

O M G . . . that's one damn brilliant suggestion... and yeah hacking our console is not solely toward piracy but homebrew is FTW...

how many people do you think actually only modify their handhelds & consoles just to play homebrew? i would say less then 5%(that might be a high number) only use their modified systems for homebrew and not pirating games.

Uhh, all DSi games are region blocked. DSiWare or not.
