Yeah, I really think that the U.S. release date is only days from the Japan release, so there's no point in importing.

I don't think that region locking is a smart move... I mean, it's a handheld. You're supposed to go anywhere with it. So what happens if I travel to Japan with my US 3DS? Maybe in a normal console, but region lock in a handheld?

Like I said, region locking is mostly for parental control. Different region uses different game rating systems. You'll be surprised to see that many parents these days are concerned with what their children are playing.

I am surprised if that's true, what with all the little boys playing Halo out there. Plus, American parents in general are known to be very lax when it comes to letting their kids do what they want.
I wonder why Nintendo gets all the blame and takes responsibility for this. But then again, the 3DS does have lots of mature games like Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid.

Anyone else realize that while they may make the announcement tomorrow (29th), they are basing it around their timezone, which means for others, it will be sooner? I live in California, and the time difference from Cal to Japan is about +15 hours, so if they were to announce it at 1pm tomorrow, I'd find out about it at 10pm tonight.

 

[FireGrey]

Cool i'm +8 so i'll find out around the time japan does

 

[kadyome]

It's going to be about 4am in the UK when they announce it so it will hopefully be a pleasant surprise to wake up to.

gamestop pulls dates out of thier colective ass to generate intrist and preorders. they want your money they will add a sku and a date if it seems excyting and feesable. and then when the 3ds is released in lets say march they will be like "looks like nintendo pushed it back" not taking blame for preemptivly listing it erlyer then nintendo decided.

go by press releases from nintendo not retailers.

The conference will happen at Makuhari Messe.

Here's to hoping for a November date =/. (Which according to my Gamestop manager most likely wont be until April-June)

 

[cocomonk22]

Just to let everyone know, Nintendo Conference 2010 starts at 14:00 today in Japan, which is less than 7 hours from this post.
