Nintendo 3DS Release Date and Price Revealed!

[Bacon Boy]

Yeah, just a quick note here... the whole portable aspect of handheld gaming is vastly overrated for anyone who is in any way, shape or form a social person. Why play videogames on a tiny screen when the entire world is around you? I think the only time I have ever played the DS outside of my house or a car-trip was during a 4 hour wait in-between classes...and just once, at that.

I'm anticipating "oh, but then explain why so many people are texting all the time!!", and the answer to that is: as dumb as texting is (in my humble opinion), it also happens to be a form of communication. Even though it looks like everybody's got their nose in their cell phone, they're still communicating in some -- albeit inferior -- way. With gaming, it hasn't reached that point of saturation where almost everybody has a portable console and anybody can just play multiplayer. I highly doubt any dedicated gaming platform will reach that level of saturation -- it will undoubtedly be a hybrid device.

As much as it pains me to say it, REAL portable gaming will be found on devices like the iPhone. But let me make something clear -- I don't see the point of "real" portable gaming in the first place and prefer console experiences, like the DS began to offer and like the 3DS is expanding upon.

I'm sorry, but anyone who tries to argue this is either purely stupid or a nintendo fanboy.

Or has differing opinions.

NO! OPIONS? ON THE INTERNET? SACRILEGE!

i think the price is worth it.still it probly still wont stand a chance in popularity against 360 and stuff like that.BUT WHO CARES?!then again theres so much on the 3ds,i wonder how long it will last with all that data on it especialy after playing it so much with that killer library,i mean who cant resist Kid Icarus,Zelda OoT,Mariokart,Starfox,Metal Gear,Animal Crossing,Pokemon to!(even though pokemon black and white can be played on plain DS)almost every kind of gamer could pick up a 3ds and get hooked!

If it has an internal memory system for games, then more than likely, it'll have some sort of external port in the form of an SD card. But knowing Nintendo's portable devices, the carts will probably carry the data.

Also, price is too much. would rather pick up a ps3 as a bluray player, or even a new camera lens if i was planning on spending 300 bucks on something.

It won't be $300.

 

[........]

How can you be sure it won't be $300? I know you work at a videogame store, but you seem so positive.

He's guessing. It's a pretty good guess, regardless. Would it make more sense to you if he put it on a trend line?

He didn't mean it like "I know for a fact it won't be."

He meant most likely it won't be, no one knows for sure.

Grr, Al, you beat me.

Nono, it makes sense. I was just wondering.

You of all people should know how fast I am, Lisa.
Perceive that however you want to.

Lol at Tye assuming everyone has Dial-Up.

Because it's common sense. Yes, the 3DS will cost

I know it's not dial-up, but it has to be pretty darn slow for my avatar and signature to make your browser lag. Either that or it's your computer. But I didn't have a problem with it at all, even at school, where their Wi-Fi is slow as hell.

A lot of other people are having problems with it, as well. Besides, you were exceeding the signature bandwith limit.

How could it possibly stretch your screen? It's fine on my 800x600 netbook. XD

Translation:

"Lalalala, y'all *****es is crazy. I ain't never in the wrong."

 

[Deleted User]

What a rip off.

 

[Mino]

In before Tyeforce.

 

[Princess]

Awesome.
So the top for the blue one is black?
Wuuuuut.

It has to be black for the 3D effect to function correctly, apparently.
