The Nintendo 3DS has just been given a launch date: Feb 28, 2011 in Japan and March for EU and US. Some quick notes that were also announced:
- Mii plaza built in (can take photo of yourself and make a Mii with it)
- “AR Games” (augmented reality) built in to make use of the camera
- 2GB SD card included
- MSRP: ￥25,000 or around $300 USD (most likely have a $250-$275 US launch price)
- GB/GBA “Virtual Console” (yay!)
S’all for now. I’ll update if more news comes out
<3 pokejungle
First Yeah ! A bit disapointed by the colors… But it will be sure mine as soon as it’s released. *_* I have already dah monneyz !!!1
Wow I will have to save up some money then!!
btw, what do they mean with ‘Virtual Console’??
Does the virtual console bit mean we can play or buy GBA games off of a shop or something? Would love to play Sapphire on there and HELL YEA! I HAVE ENOUGH MONEY FOR IT BEEACCHES
hi pokejungle! I justr wanna asked if you’re circumcised?
LOL. This is now one of my favorite comments. No I am not haha.
You aren’t!
And dude, does virtual console mean we get to play GBA games on it?
lol, it means that Nintendo will be offering old GB/GBA games to buy and download to your 3DS
Yea.. thats what I thought 🙂 Kinda like the Wii with the old games on there right?
Wut.
This right here is why I love this site. XD
because he’s not or because we just radomly ask stuff like that ?
*facepalm* Because of the random questions.

Pokejungle, you should use this image 😀
It doesn’t show the purple one. T.T I love the purple one.
Only blue and black at launch. D:
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Why the hell did they show off the purple one, then??? I had my heart set on it. T.T
I AM SO GETTING DA BLACK 1!!! But crap! It’s friggin’ 300 bucks! I’m only 13! How am I supposed 2 get that kind of money?! I can’t ask 4 it 4 my birfday becuase that’s 2morrow! FRICK!!!
Grain!
GB/A virtual console! :’D
We can finally play Metroid 2 legally!
Yay a virtual consale. that means i can buy back all of my GBC/GBA pokemon games. yay. if they release them which i bet they will because Pokemon is a huge success and people would be pissed if they didn’t so i will say most likly so.
Yay! Finally old GB/GBA games. I won’t have to rely on Lameboy. ^^
Ouch at the $300 price tag, I suppose it makes sense, though. It seems like they’re setting this up to (finally) rival the PSP.
The release dates are interesting. Releasing only a month after Japan makes me think maybe they’re trying for a closer schedule with other countries? It’d be nice. Kinda like GS:DD.
what about the RED 3DS? Isn’t there three!?
There are lots more, like an orange one, a purple one, IIRC a pink one, but apparently at launch only black and blue are available. :<
My question is are we able to play old DS games on this console?
It will be the first time that i buy a game console, and i want to play old DS games and B&W with it.
To my knowledge, yes.
Thank you.
You’re the best.
GB/A VIRTUAL CONSOLE YAY 😀
THREE-HUNDRED DOLLARS(ish) NO D:
.|KJ
GBA slot came back, or did I misread that?
$300 = NO. NO. NO. PLEASE be around 200 dollars! The Victini Funds (my money, no duh) cannot handle the pressure! And I don’t want to do no babysitting! >.< This is like the Wii all over again…
hopefully it’ll drop….hopefully………
…….MEH XP
You misread. There’s no GBA slot, like there’s no PSX slot on the PSP. You can re-buy the games you’ve already bought (XD) to get them in digital format on your 3DS.
What other colors does it come in?

Here you go!
So not fair…. I am going to have to wait until the purple one comes out. T.T I simply can’t get any other color.
I’m really hoping that it is released in the US for $250. That way, we MIGHT be able to get it in the Australia for $300. (Though I probably wouldn’t be surprised if it was $320-$350 here -__-)
what is the virtual console feature? Is that like downloadable content?
