Nintendo 3DS priced and dated

[DJCowboy]

... at least for Japan


Premium Link Upgrade

All the rumor and speculation can finally come to an end.

During Nintendo's presentation in Japan today, the company announced the 3DS will go on sale in Japan on February 26, 2011. The unit will cost 25,000 yen ($300). The system will be available in Aqua Blue and Cosmo Black.

Nintendo did not provide a release date or price for European and North American territories, but stated those plans will be announced later through Nintendo's overseas branches

I'm not really surprised if the price is either between $250 - $300 here in the U.S. But I am really excited to be able to try this system and, if impressed, eventually own. A lot of developers have signed on to develop for it and everyone that tried it at E3 walked away very impressed. Can't wait!!!
