Nintendo of America have announced US launch details for their new portable system, the Nintendo 3DS, which, in addition to more graphical horsepower than the current DS, projects a 3D image that you can see without having to wear special glasses.
The Nintendo 3DS will hit stores on Sunday, March 27. The suggested retail price is $249.99.
The $250 price point is exactly what I predicted...$300 would have been a bit too expensive for a portable gaming machine, and Nintendo knows how to price their machines well - the Wii's pricing is one of the factors that contributed to its massive mainstream success.
Nintendo has yet to announce which launch titles will be available on Day 1. Here's hoping for Kid Icarus: Uprising and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.
