Default The facts

Concerning the conference, of course:

- Iwata talks about Pok?mon Black and White, going on about its success in sales.

- The Super Mario Collection (lolrepackage) is mentioned.

- An image of the Wii Remote Plus is shown, confirming previously leaked box art

- The Last Story will be released on January 27.

- Megaman Legends 3 announced for The Nintendo 3DS

- Resident Evil Revelations and Metal Gear are shown

About the 3DS:

Nintendo has announced that the Nintendo 3DS will be launch on February 26th, 2011 in Japan for 25000 Yen (approximately $300), and will launch in March in the U.S. and Europe.

Pricing for the U.S. and Europe is yet to be determined

- Comes with a 2 GB SD card.

- Comes with charging cradle.

- 3DS Virtual Console for Game Boy and Game Boy Advance titles.

- 3DS online service will sell Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Classic Games in 3D, DSiWare, and 3DS (ware?) titles.

- Always on passive Tag Mode that can do data exchange, even for games not being played.

- Japanese launch colors are Aqua Blue and Cosmos Black.

- Home button brings up an ingame menu enabling users to browse the web, turn Wi-Fi on/off and modify other settings without exiting.

- "Mii Studio" Application: Take a picture of yourself and have it auto converted into a Mii.

- "AR Games" Application: Built in augmented reality games (comes with six paper cards for these).

- "Nintendo 3DS Cameras" Application: The 3DS can automatically merge two photos into a single image. I'm assuming this is also for taking pictures.

- "Nintendo 3DS Sound" Application: Unsure, guessing something like Mario Paint.

- "Chance Encounter Mii Plaza" Application: I'm assuming this is a place for Miis to hang out that you've picked up from tag mode and/or QR codes.

- "Book" Application - Possible eBook reader

- 3DSWare games can be moved from one 3DS to another, and some DSiWare games can be moved to the 3DS as well.

- Is compatible with Wifine if you live in Japan.

If the rumors are true, the 3DS will have 1.5 GB internal storage as well, giving the system 3,5 GB total of flash memory.

Wow, great post. I'm pretty happy about the 3DS, so does this mean there is not game install option like Nikkei rumoured? Cause I bought a 32GB SD Card for nothing lol. But It'll be very useful to me.

Well, I'm disapointed! $300!? For a handheld? C'mon Nintendo keep it in the price range! It does look really cool though.

I wander how well it will do.

Oh, The Last Story is coming out on the 27th of January? Epic.

On the topic of the 3DS, the fact it's going to have a VC seals the deal that I'm getting it.

The VC is indeed the most wanted item, so it's good.

Eh, may I remind you guys the Wii also launched at 25,000 and it sold for $250 in America and ?180 in UK. Those will probably be the same price for the 3DS.

Most likely. The audience reaction at E3 '09 was so careless that I think they know full well that it wouldn't be very prosperous to market it off.

Actually for what's in it, I'm surprised it's not more than a home console (other than the Wii). Look at computers, laptops are generally more expensive than desktops that have similar specs. Why? You have to cram the same performance in a smaller package.

I heard Iwata or whatever his name is, may put a video feature. Record videos in your 3DS! That sounds like fun. These Nintendo people do know that the price is a bit high. They say that although the price is high, the people will still buy it. I believe him. Who wouldn't want a 3D console?
