• Nintendo 3DS Release Date and Features Announced

    March 2011 for US. No price announced for US yet. (EDIT: $250 for those lush with cash)

    Mentioned Features:
    -Comes with a 2 GB SD card.
    -Comes with charging cradle.
    -3DS Virtual Console for Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and maybe Game Boy Advance titles.
    -3DS online service will sell Game Boy, Game Boy Color, 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: Maybe an ebook reader?
    -3DSWare games can be moved from one 3DS to another, and some DSiWare games can be moved to the 3DS as well.
