Anime Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Big news for Nintendo fans! The 3DS has an offical US release date!! It's coming on March 27th, priced at $249.99. According to this, the launch titles include the 3D remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and a bunch of other cool stuff. The UK and Europe are getting it on March 25th, though I can't find a set price. Quote
Wembly Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 :woot: I'm so excited! Hello birthday present! And only a month before my birthday so I won't be waiting that long after it comes out! And am I reading that correct that the 3DS will come with the Zelda game? Quote
Anime Posted January 19, 2011 Author Posted January 19, 2011 What? No. The Zelda game will be released on the same day as the 3DS, but you buy it seprate. That's what a launch title is- a game that launches at the same time as the system. Quote
Wembly Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Haha, woops. Thanks for the clarification, I knew that couldn't be right. Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I was waiting for the announcement today. And well, now I doubt I'll be getting it. I don't have the money, and I highly doubt I ever will because my father won't let me get a job. Don't care for Zelda. And last I checked, the only big title that will be a launch title is Nintendogs + Cats, which is cool and all, but I want Star Fox dangit. :angry: I don't remember Zelda being a launch title. I remember it was suppose to come out a few months later. But then again, this is from what I'm hearing. Quote
Anime Posted January 19, 2011 Author Posted January 19, 2011 No, the Zelda remake has been on the launch title list for a good while now. Quote
Divya Bean Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Oooohhh this is very exciting! 3D! YAYYY! This will be an amazing present for my best guy friend. THANK YOU NINTENDO! :D Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 No, the Zelda remake has been on the launch title list for a good while now. I knew about it, but I then heard that it was taken off... Quote
Secre Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Not all that interested in it...I've got the DSi only because my DS died a death after many many years - it was an original bought for me a present very soon after they were released and it died just before Christmas...well, it still works providing you keep it plugged in! Or only take it off for 20-30 minutes! But I don't seem to be excited about 3D! Don't care for Zelda. And last I checked, the only big title that will be a launch title is Nintendogs + Cats, which is cool and all, but I want Star Fox dangit. :angry: Thank you! Everybody usually looks at me like I'm crazy if I mention Star Fox! I've loved it since N64! Quote
soup Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I want it, hopefully I'll have the money to buy it when it comes out D: Quote
IrishLiz Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 They're supposed to release Paper Mario as well for the 3DS (one of my favorite games), but I'm not sure when. Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I found a list of North American launch titles, reported by Destructoid: •Pilotwings Resort•Nintendogs + Cats •Steeldiver •Dead or Alive •Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 3D •Madden NFL •Super Street Fighter IV 3D •Asphalt 3D •Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs 3D •Ridge Racer 3D •Resident Evil: The Mercenaries •LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars Super Street Fighter IV 3D is the game I want most on that list. And Zelda seems to be absent.... Quote
jumpingbeans Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 They're supposed to release Paper Mario as well for the 3DS (one of my favorite games), but I'm not sure when. Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door is my most favorite game ever. I'll want it, then. Quote
Tyler. Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Don't care for Zelda. you foo' dun like Zelda? no launch titles interest me yet D: Quote
IrishLiz Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door is my most favorite game ever. I'll want it, then. Exactly! I've played through it probably 3 or 4 times. I was disappointed in the wii version because it changed the fighting style, so I haven't gotten through it yet. That's the only game that got me excited for the 3DS. Oh and maybe Zelda. Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 you foo' dun like Zelda? I never bothered to play Zelda. Nintendogs, Street Fighter 4, Dead or Alive, Madden, Ridge Racer, and Resident Evil are the launch titles I'm interested. Quote
iSheena Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 The only reason I would consider buying this is for Animal Crossing 3ds... but I doubt it. I'm happy with my old fashion dsi Quote
Anime Posted January 21, 2011 Author Posted January 21, 2011 GameStop is donig pre-orders for the 3DS and all launch titles. For the system, you need to put at least $50 down, and you can specify the color (blue or black). Quote
Luciana Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Only blue or black? What about the other colors we saw? Quote
Anime Posted January 22, 2011 Author Posted January 22, 2011 Previews, I suppose, of future colors, liked to be released in the coming months (or rather, around the holidays). I could've sworn I read somewhere that there would be red, blue, and black on release with others (like the orange and purple at E3) to come later... but I guess not. Quote
Secre Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 The only reason I would consider buying this is for Animal Crossing 3ds... but I doubt it. I'm happy with my old fashion dsi Old fashioned???? I only just bought a DSi...I've still got the original bulky DS (and for that matter the gameboys before then). I love my old fashioned DS but the battery life was more or less dead! Quote
Tyler. Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 I think I'll get it somehwhere in late summer, or anytime when gaming is slow Quote

I love my old fashioned DS but the battery life was more or less dead! You can buy a new DS battery from Nintendo. I had to for my Lite, the battery was holding about a quater the charge it should and that just doesn't cut it when you're wandering around campus. They're $15 plus S&H from the Nintendo website, if you want your DS to live. Just be sure you order the right one, each version has a slgihtly different battery shape. Quote

I didn't realise you could replace the batteries! *Wanders off to the Nintendo website* Thanks!!!! Quote
Tyler. Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I just saw some other titles and I'm excited now, I'll probably get it sometime in summer Quote
