- Two colors available at launch: Obsidian Black and Aqua Blue
- “AR Games” is included virtual reality minigames using camera
- Web browser has been enhanced
- Gameboy and Gameboy Color “Virtual Console” confirmed (Sorry, no GBA yet)
- Coming to America March 27th for $249.99 (Who says our rumors aren’t accurate?)
- Friend Codes are assigned per 3DS, no BS with each game having separate codes and separate friend lists :]

Sucks america gets it so much cheaper, $249.99 = £156.51, so America gets it £74 or so cheaper..
Yup, America is pulling the short end of the stick.
Thats ridiculous- i live in europe and im really ahppy about us finally getting a pokemon game before the rest of the world outside japan and to get the 3ds is insanely cool too but the currencies arent matching up here, for us to pay £230 would be like america having to pay almost $400 yet its only $250??? wtf- were being charged almost an extra £75??????
Think of it this way, the $249.99 was pushing it already. Why in the world would anyone go spend 400$ on a hand held system? People wouldnt. If it realy were that much I would give Nintendo the middle finger, and go buy another xbox 360, a nice big T.V–or much better, save to get into a nice apartment. There would be very few people who could actualy afford that. I dont think nintendo is too concerned with makeing you spend another 75 euros than lose millions of dollars in american sales.
So its a win-win for them. They get to charge you more, and americans (many, many, many of them) will buy thair product.
aether way, you’ll get over it.
Remember that the EU price has taxes included, and European taxes have always been higher than American ones.
And every techthingy in Europe costs more, it has to do with the average Western-European earning more than an average American.
March 27… one day after my birthday
