So, is anyone plan on buying the Nintendo 3DS next year??? So far, this system seems EPIC. I'm extremely looking forward to it!!!

(This is from IGN.com)

Nintendo also detailed many of the system's functionality features. Below is the list:

Enjoy 3D images with the naked eye on the top screen.
You can adjust the 3D volume to change the 3D feel, and can also make it 2D.

A stereo camera that can take 3D pictures
Includes 2 external cameras. When you take 3D pictures, they can be viewed on the spot.

New input interfaces
Slide Pad, Motion Sensor, Gyro Sensor

SpotPass
When the 3DS is in sleep mode, the system will automatically seek out Nintendo Zone and wireless LAN access points and will grab information, game data, free games, videos and other things from the internet.

StreetPass
When the 3DS is in sleep mode, it will automatically exchange data with other 3DS systems. The system can transfer data from multiple games simultaneously.

Functionality For Use Without Leaving Games
Home Menu, Internet Browser, Notice List

A Variety of Software Built In
Nintendo 3DS Camera, Nintendo 3DS Sound, Mii Studio*, StreetPass Mii Plaza*, AR Games*, Activity Log, etc. (* temp; direct translation from the Japanese)

Download Sales of Games
In addition to buying games, you can view introductory videos and rankings

Transfer Over Software and Data
You'll be able to transfer your already purchased download software to 3DS. This includes DSi Ware games from DSi and DSi LL. Nintendo notes there is a limited number of transfers allowed and that some software cannot be transferred.

Backwards Compatible
In addition to playing games made for 3DS, the system can also play DSi and DS games.

Parental Controls
You can set play restrictions based off game ratings. You can also limit browser use and other areas. Parental Controls have been improved over the DSi.

The 3DS is scheduled to launch in February in Japan for 25,000 yen and in March 2011 for North America and Europe. Pricing details for those territories have not been announced.

It looks to be awesome. 3D without glasses itself is a huge selling factor for me, and what they've done with the tech is incredible.

this alone is worth the cost of the system


especially if it means they'll rerelease 1 and 2.

I am going to get this as soon as it comes out

Please let them bring Tales of the Abyss 3DS over to America.  Also, please let them realize their mistakes with the DSi and not region lock this, even though I know they will.

I'll buy this when it isn't $300.... Perhaps if it comes down 50%....

Because the 3DS doesn't (already!) have too many announced remakes!

I hate that the DSI was Region Locked. There were some Japanese DS games I actually wanted to buy....

I'll probably get the first model when it comes outa nd then never ever upgrade, like I did with the DS and GBA (the only exception is the Gameboy, which I only ever got the Colour version of).  Mainly because they tend to be hardier, and I drop stuff a LOT XDXD Think Nintendo still tests their hardware by dropping it off the third floor?

I don't see how that has anything to do with bringing it to America.  It's being made either way.

agreed also abyss is the one of the few tales games that is still worth $40

Hm.... I am gonna buy the blue coloured one.


I can already see Nintendo's competitors creating 3D systems..... PS3D and the Xbox 36D (pronounced three-six-dee)

LOL just thinking.....

Don't think that would be a stretch in logic to believe Microsoft would do that.

If I wasn't poor I'd totally buy one... >_<

If The World Ends With You has a 3D version specifically made for this one, then I might just get one.
