If they officially anounce it, I hope in my heart of hearts they don't go overboard with the price. Because thats what we're likely going to get with a 3D device without glasses.

laus_basic

to be honest I'm expecting $230 to $250 as the starting price. I know most expect $200, but the fact that they priced their 4th version of the DS at that very same price makes me think Nintendo is willing to go a little higher this time. And let's not kid ourselves, this little device is gonna sell no matter what price it's at.

True.I'll be buying.

I have no clue what truth is behind this article.

http://www.macvideo.tv/editing/news/index.cfm?newsId=3240972&pagType=allchandate

I saw it yesterday, but we get the official news today, right?

gymophett

Well, these specs have been circulating for quite some time now. Yes, the official event is tonight, but don't expect Nintendo to unveil the specs, they haven't done that since the N64 days.

My guess is $199.99 how about you guys?Fightingfan
Same, maybe as low as $189. There's no other justification for the DSi/DSi XL price drops.

[QUOTE="crippled_ram"][QUOTE="KevinButlerVP"][QUOTE="crippled_ram"] It's the most powerful handheld device ever created. The 3D effect is confirmed to be on par with any 3D experience you'd get on any 3DTV, without the black tint or the 3D glasses. And yes, it's cheap. I have no idea what your beef is with the handheld, man :?

it's the most powerful handheld created? what?

Uh, yeah? Which gaming handheld has ever been more powerful than the 3DS?

what are you talking about, the specs leaked weren't impressive at all

Yeah,but the difference is that Nintendo already came a long way with the Wii and DS.People want more of these things.

And yet they make it the most powerful handheld ever. The specs arent impressive compared to the 'Xbox 36 level' hype that was on, but they still place the handheld squarely in Gamecube level territory. This makes it more powerful than the PSP by quite a considerable margin, in turn making it the most powerful gaming handheld ever created.

[QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"]i doubt handhelds can change the gaming landscape.crippled_ram
The DS did it by proving to Nintendo the Wii philosophy would work, causing them to release a home console that, for good or for bad, changed the gaming landscape forever; there's no reason the 3DS can't do the same.

How exactly did ds change console and pc gaming?

I still say its "Nintendo" they market towards the broadest audience so it return they have to stay affordable. That being said they can be unreasonable on price on release but I have no doubt if Sony or Microsoft get into the handheld market Nintendo will be the most expensive.

It showed Nintendo that the low cost handheld with new control input technique of making a hardware would work. In Nintendo's own words: 'If the DS succeeds, we will rise to heaven, but if it fails, we will sink to hell.' 'If the DS had failed, we would have taken the Wii back to the drawing board... maybe have changed our design philosophy.' By leading up to the Wii, which DID change console gaming- for the better? I don't know, that's debatable- it played a pivotal role in changing gaming forever.

My guess on price is 189.99 and I'm hoping it'd launch with different colors. I'm expecting the launch titles to be waaaaaaaaaay much better than the horrible DS launch titles(MGS3 confirmed as a launch title I believe) That's all.

I'm excited. I can't wait to find out the price and release date. I hope it's no more than $200(the Wii is only $200), is released before Christmas(so that I can get it for Christmas), and I hope it'll launch with a 3D Mario Kart.

MGS3 is supposed to be a late 2011 title :( But I expect Ocarina OR Starfox, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, and maybe Professor Layton.

The iPhone fanboys like to argue that it is and is better than a DS or PSP. That's really the only reason some people like the iPhone.

Really?! That kind of killed me in the inside just a bit. Nintendo(yes I know Konami) may redeem themselves by releasing Starfox on launch though. Ew animal crossing I think I heard enough of those text noises on gamecube lol.

you said handheld device, and yes you can play games on it

you can play games on my wristwatch and my calculator too... I'm PRETTY sure they're not handhelds. The iPhone is a smart phone that has gaming capabilities as well. That's it. It's NOT a handheld. Just as the PC is NOT a console? That way.

The iPhone is in fact a handheld gaming device and the PC is a gaming system/platform. C'mon guys....

My point is the PC is NOT a gaming CONSOLE. Its a gaming SYSTEM, yes. The same analogy follows in the case of the iPhone as well.

The iPod touch (which is a great device by the way) is an mp3 player that happens to play games. Like my calculator, which ALSO happens to play games.

The Move,HD gaming, and 3D gaming has already changed gaming.

clruff
for the 15 people that have a 3D TV and have 3D lenses glued to their eyes, maybe. Move is 4 years late to the party and HD gaming is just a graphics boost. it's been happening every generation since gaming first started.

Yes I do, which is why your computer isnt a gaming CONSOLE, its a gaming SYSTEM, similar to how iOS isnt a handheld gaming device, its mobile gaming. :) Thank you for validating my point.
