Will you be getting your, as Tanooki features editor Pete Betcher puts it, grubby mitts on the Nintendo 3DS as soon as next March? “For sure”! In an E3 interview with Industry Gamers, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime discussed the anticipation for the Nintendo 3DS, explaining why they have not announced a price or launch date:
“Well, the reason we haven’t announced a launch date or pricing is that, first, we wanted to get reaction here. Secondly, we’ll be making individual market decisions in terms of what’s happening in Japan, what’s happening in the Americas, what’s happening in Europe. The one thing, for sure, is that we will launch in all of our major markets by March 31, 2011.”
He also states in the interview that the 3DS design is “not 100%”, meaning the slick model you see above may not be what ends up in aforementioned grubby mitts. We’ll see what happens in the next nine months.
