3DS yea or nay?
So the 3DS is nearly upon us with launch dates set for the 26th of Fedruary in Japan, 25th of March in Europe and the 27th of March in the US. But the surefire sell out smash hit of 2011 has raised a couple of eyebrows recently with the release of its specs, pricing and opening game line up.
First off there will only be 9 launch titles with only one by Nintendo:
- Asphalt 3D
- Nintendogs + Cats: French Bulldog & New Friends
- Nintendogs + Cats: Golden Retriever & New Friends
- Nintendogs + Cats: Toy Poodle & New Friends
- Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars
- Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 3D
- Rayman 3D
- Super Monkey Ball 3D
- Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition
- Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Shadow Wars
- Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell 3D
So sorry anyone that was looking forward to Kid Icarus on day 1, however Nintendo said they would hope for at least 30 titles by June.
Not only this but another rather worrying bit of news is the battery life. It is currently being reported as 1:1 so if you charge it for 3:30hrs you'll get 3:30hrs of gameplay, this is most likely with 3D mode on and Nintendo is known to err on the cautious side with their figures it's still terrible though.
Finally, the price for the US is $250, kinda pricy for a handheld right? wait there's more. If however you happen to live in the Euro zone you will be paying 250 euros which rather annoyingly works out at $334 and finally if you're living in the UK you'll be paying £230 or $365, which is just ridiculous.
So are you getting one?

Yeah I know I mention that in the last paragraph. Being of UK origin too it's a disgrace that they charge us essentially 50% more than they pay for it in the US, $117.67 more to be precise. I wasn't going to get one at all because I don't play handhelds and I don't like Nintendo and the trend they've started in gaming but I still feel really bad for any European Nintendo fan because you are getting royally screwed on this one. And even if you got one from America on the cheap it wouldn't matter because they're still using region lock so you can't play any games from Europe on it which is totally backward, unless of course you're making a money grab... cough, cough.

Hell Yea. The DS is my most played gaming system, and I can't wait to experience some of my favorite franchises on day 1. That said, I probably won't get it day 1 just because of expenses and demands, but I would love to get my dirty unwashed fingers on it by the end of the year. I know they'll eventually release a better version, but I'm not waiting and I've already submitted to the fact that nintendo owns my balls.
