the design does need to be tweeked a little. the power button is gonna get hit a lot by large hands and the headphone jack in the center doesn't look like a great idea. but it does look pretty awesome especially in that red. and if can REALLY render that video of that ninja thing. i'll definatly wait.]]>Jun 21st 2010 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/Jun 21st 2010 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/

I only got the DSi for Dragon Quest 4 because it's nostalgic and I had it on Nintendo when I was little and loved it. But after getting a DS and a Wii, I highly doubt i'll bother with Nintendo anymore, just not my type of games anymore. And I've become a trophy/achievement junkie...not having that stuff on a brand new console seems like a huge mistake to me. It's stupid but makes playing games a lot more fun and rewarding.]]>Jun 21st 2010 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/Jun 21st 2010 5:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/Jun 21st 2010 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/Jun 21st 2010 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/Jun 21st 2010 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/

The month of July is out quite thoroughly because of the fact that a definite date would have been announced if that were the case so they could capitalize on sales at that time. They are likely to use a month that will capitalize on strong sales, which really eliminates August too, making likelihood of October to November (when the rush is more thoroughly going to pick up so they can have a strong launch month in their financial reports.
So we are left with
October-November 25th.
I'd eliminate November 25th due to Thanksgiving and we have
October - November 24th.
Using past console release dates as a guide to further narrow that down,
Nintendo Wii launched on November 19th, 2006 which was a Sunday.
Nintendo Gamecube launched on November 18th, 2001 which was a Sunday.
Nintendo DS launched on November 21st, 2004 which was a Sunday.
Eliminating it down to Sundays (and Wednesdays, which are a popular disc-based game release day) we come up with these dates:
October 3,6,10,13,17,20,24,27,31
November 3,7,10,14,17,21,24

From there, we will apply the fact that systems tend to be launched in mid to late November to narrow the dates further.
November 14, 17, 21, 24
November 14th and 21st are Sundays, with November 17th and 24th being Wednesdays. Not only is November 21st on the week of Black Friday (huge sales boom!), but it is the 6th anniversary of the DS, so that is what I'd bet on the release date being.]]>Jun 21st 2010 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/

I'm pretty sure 'by March 2011' does not mean November 2010, no matter what way you slice it]]>Jun 21st 2010 6:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/
Except you can't launch a console without games. Now, I don't know how long the 3DS SDK has been in developers hands, but when you rush games before they are finished, that's when you get a launch like the original Nintendo DS where there was maybe 1 game worth owning and everything else was a collection of minigames.

Besides, I forsee Nintendo wanting to have 1 last year of major DS game sells before relegating it to 2nd place in their handheld lineup. Remember that while the GBA sold for quite a while after the DS was released, it was never the same in Nintendo's eyes after the DS' first Christmas.]]>Jun 21st 2010 6:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/Jun 21st 2010 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/It will still play DS games.
Nintendo seemed to already be along on a couple of games, I'd bet they could have at least three ready by Christmas, which is the most people would buy at launch. I wouldn't be surprised to see a bundle with one or two 3d movies as well, probably Pixar movies or something.

I expect the 3DS in Japan and US by end of November, then launching in Europe and elsewhere early 2011.]]>Jun 21st 2010 8:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/nintendo-3ds-will-launch-in-all-major-markets-by-march-2011-d/
