Nintendo 3DS

CVG is saying it's ?264 but currency convertor translates the price tag as ?188. I don't see ?264 happening, there's no way they could pitch it at more than a PS3. ?199.99 tops... and that will make me question buying one on launch

Looking at CVG the article appears to be from early August so I don't know what they're basing that price on...

Resident Evil: Mercenaries 3D screens... lovely

Did any of the following get answered?

Is it region locked?
system specs
Battery Life
colour options
are the N
N64 remakes just going to come through downloads then?

As for the release date im gutted Japan did not get a 2010 release, but i guess it means i can buy the US console now without the predicted 5 month gap.

Region locking will probably only be confirmed at launch.
Nintendo never release full specs to the public
No comment on battery life
Blue and black are the colour options
n64 remakes will probably be full releases.

All the capcom games look like sex. Ridge Racer looked remarkably poor.

*edit*

New info that's come out: DSiware 3dsWare purchases can now be transferred between consoles (a limited number of times)

Wow!! Some of that stuff looks amazing. Ridge Racer is indeed the weakest looking game on that video but there's still time.

Hopefully stuff like Starfox, Kid Ic, Mario Kart & Paper Mario will be day one.

Ridge Racer is a must buy for me but it looked ropey as hell! Hopefully the final release will be a lot better. Resi looked amazing as well!

It's over, Japan's birth rate is finished:

Rinko in 3D! Mine! Though she'll end forgotten in some drawers like her 2D counterpart.
But what the video shows is interesting. The 3DS is held in vertical like the DS but when they show 3D interactions the console is horizontal, except for the last segment where a touch sensitive event in the first LP is shown on the 3D screen.
The most interesting part is to know if the 3DS is able to deliver a convincing 3D effect when held vertically, something I though it was impossible.

So Nintendo won't abandon friend codes soon, uh? It's a step in the right direction, but still light years behind MS and Sony

Can't afford this. Do not want.

Tales of the Abyss 3DS

I'll sell a kidney.

First shots of the OS. Mix of the DSi OS and the Wii one.

Also has the added feature of shooting lasers at random passers by

I like the look of this but not too sure about day one. I find myself going through phases of handhelds, and I think they are becoming less.

[abigsmurf]

I'm guessing if you don't ensure it's day 1, it'll be day 100 at the earliest

Just watched the SSFIV trailer on Kotaku and it looks amazing.

If the delay between JPN and Euro machines is only a month then I'll wait for the Euro one. Especially now with the GBA VC confirmed!

I have zero interest in almost everything about this, but I'm tempted to buy in just because of the GBA virtual console. <3
