The Nintendo 3DS will be released in Japan on February 26, 2011 with a retail price of 250,000 yen (aprox $300) and Nintendo of America has confirmed, it's release on March 2011. Info from IGN.com. The question is....are you thinking of buying it and why?
I'm 80% sure I will buy it...100% if I have the money at hand on the release date. Basically because of the new experience of playing in 3D...WITHOUT glasses, the graphics are pretty awesome and it will have a LOT of extra features.
