Nintendo finally released all info on the 3DS which includes pricing, Launch games and more. If I get more info on the 3DS I'll announce it here.

Update: I found out that the retail price for new 3DS games:

Update: No need for Nintendo points anymore:

Update: On Amazon's 3DS listing, it states "With Nintendo 3DS Sound, users can enjoy sound-manipulation tools or rock out while listening to their MP3 or AAC music files.". I have an iPod though so it really doesn't matter to me.

I'm just fed up with all this DS shit they're pulling. 250 is a lot for a handheld.

Even though it's alot for a handheld, and actually more expensive that the wii, I actually expected it to be this high. It has 3D, A whole new web shop, and plenty more.

Just have to see what plays out, I guess. I'm hoping that the Ocarina of Time is going to be more than just a remake.

It's just a port. Nothing special added except a possible bottom screen feature for viewing.

Still the $250 pricetag, huh?

This console better "wow" me, or it becomes Miyamoto's $250 suppository!

Fuck that. If they're going to recreate the most overrated Zelda game, ADD SOME FUCKING BONUS DUNGEONS! OR SOMETHING!

I just realized by skimming through all the info that everyone who bought a DSi/XL got screwed over because the 3DS is a DSi+a whole new system.

Charge Time
About 3.5 hours

Battery Duration
When playing Nintendo 3DS software about 3-5 hours. When playing Nintendo DS software about 5-8 hours. Battery duration differs depending on the brightness setting of the screen. The information regarding battery duration is a rough standard. It can be shorter depending on what functions of the Nintendo 3DS system are used.

So wait, that means that somebody that buys the 3DS can use 3.5 hours to charge up to play for.......3 hours

Yep lol. That's just like a laptop battery that has been worn out.

As a DSi User, I am pissed about getting screwed over. I am keeping it though so I can transfer over my DSiWare and maybe just to have it.

That sucks. 3DS is basically the DSi2. They better not make any more DS systems for at least four years.

They need a new home console before they even consider a new hand held, period.

This is a new handheld itself people, sure, it is just a DS handheld, but it has it own library of games, so it's not just a DSi 2

Meh. Most of the updates they released for the DS may as well have been peripheral add-ons, like the camera. IMO, they should have released a complete software update just so original DS users could have the shops.

But that's exactly what it is. Are you saying Wii, PS3 or 360 don't have their own library of games?

Europe gets screwed over again. Will not be buying this.

When will these yellow faced, squinty eyed homos in their skyscraper buildings realise that a dollar isn't the same as a euro.

1 U.S. dollar = 0.743936914 Euros

250 U.S. dollar = 185, 98 Euros

250 U.S. dollar =/= 250 Euros

250 Euros = 336, 80 U.S. dollar

Fucking Japs.

I am pre-ordering one for my cousin. He wants his on launch.

Here is a site that has a FAQ for the questions people asked about the 3DS. It may have a question you might of been thinking so check it out.

$250 isn't terrible as far as price goes. I do think it may be a bit cocky that they're putting it at the same price level as Wii when it first launched. The stuff that comes with it is neat. I always wanted a telescopic stylus and the SD card is an immediate plus.

EDIT: I swear though, if they start putting important main games to some great series' on this system I will flip out.

KH 3DS is a main game.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

It actually consists solely of new worlds.
