Nintendo has announced the release dates of its forthcoming 3D handheld gaming console at joint press event in New York and Amsterdam.
The Nintendo 3DS will be released in the U.S. on March 27th priced at $249.99, but will hit the stores a few days earlier in Europe on the 25th, at a price decided by retailers (hmmm?). Joystick and other retailers have the device priced at 229.99 pounds in the UK, and 249.99 Euros elsewhere.
Like the original DS, the 3DS includes two screens – the bottom touch screen making use of the included telescoping stylus.
However this time Nintendo has included 3 cameras; one front-facing and two at the rear to take 3D photos. The intensity of the 3D video and images can be increased or decreased to suit the user’s preference using the Depth Slider.
Nintendo has promised 30 games for the U.S. and 25 for Europe between the release date and the end of June this year. Many games were features in the press conference however we don’t have any dates for specific titles just yet. Games should run around 40-50 dollars a piece.
European users will be treated exclusive 3D content from the likes of Eurosport, episodes of Shaun the Sheep, a new series from Wallace & Gromit creators Aardman, will be available as well.
No word on exclusive content for America at the mo’, however Nintendo said they are working with particular countries to strike specific deals; in the UK Nintendo has partnered with British Sky Broadcasting, so it’s likely that deals in other countries are to follow soon enough.Here’s a list of forthcoming titles we can expect to see for the 3DS.
