I'd say it may not get a date, but a general idea, like Fall 2010

I'm saying 90% for this fall

They won't let the DSi sales suffer after they reveal the 3DS at e3 for too long

I'd say September or October for $199.99

They'll probably have a specific date or a release window (Q4 2010 for example). Just wait a few days and see at E3.

I seem to remember reading something...somewhere...that it was expected to be released in Japan Q4 2010, and in NA/UK Q1-Q2 2011. Don't quote me on this, might have dreamed that for all I know, but I have seen that somewhere.

I can't imagine they'd allow themselves to miss the 2010 Holiday season worth of sales. Not only should you expect some date/release window, I would bet money that it will be by the end of this year. Especially if they've already said it will be playable on the show floor at E3...

I have no clue when it's coming out, but considering how long it's been talked about, I'm assuming they are ready to get rolling them out and have a release date set.

I don't know, if the device is really expensive people might be reluctant to buy it at first, so by waiting until Spring 2011 they give the system several months of exposure by Christmas 2011, and give themselves more time to get a nice library of games out onto store shelves. That's just how I'm looking at it.

I'd be *very* surprised if it wasn't. It's being released before March next year, and the best way to build hype is to have a definitive date to count down too.

Ok with the news about animal crossing now as a Launch title. I think it's going to be around Q1-Q2 2011.Why? Well if animal crossing 3DS is coming with it, it HAS to be in 2011 to fit all the time gaps.

Because of a time gap?

What about how Animal Crossing originally released for the N64DD before 2002? Doesn't fit that gap

Nintendo won't delay a handheld for a time gap. They've probably already quickly ported GCN AC to 3DS honesly, with little new features

the n64 one was a japanese title. Now this new Animal Crossing could be released in Japan in late 2011 with the 3DS. and then NA later.

martinX3X

The n64 was largely the same as the GCN title to my knowledge.

Dude, they aren't going to delay the handheld to fit some animal crosing release schedule that was purely on coincidence

Nintendo has no grand scheme to Animal Crossing releases, why on earth would they have a plotted out release schedule for Animal Crossing and not Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, etc?

Its coming out this fall, the 3DS, you can quote me on that

they didn't even want to announce it on the first place, i don't blame them. they'll probably have a more specific release date (and location) on E3.

Except for one thing: They're dropping the price of the DSi and DSi XL in Japan. No sign of that here, and yesterday's news was that later this summer, there will be a new color for the XL at the same $190 price.
