WTF is that?
 
Time for some sleep, I think I'll enjoy the distilled facts more than the chaotic live blogging.

If it's out somewhere this year, have they ever done a launch date announcement so close to the launch before?

Assuming that a NA/EU release is announced either during the conference or shortly after via press release, roughly how long would it take for it to be available for preorder on Amazon/Gamestop/etc?

I love the live blogging, but I'll read it in the morning, without the annoyances of refreshing the page and 500 errors.

Japan, probably. Rest of the world, not looking likely.



Psst, this special avatar is still available Why would you do that? If you don't take it, I'll let one of the many people who want it have it!

How is a worldwide release not reasonable? Like I already said in this thread, the DS and Wii both came out in America first. Why would the 3DS buck that trend?

Because the 3DS doesnt need to come out in America this holiday.

Just going on things we have heard, it doesn't seem likely that America will get it at the same time. I'm not saying it's not possible. Just not likely.

Americans will continue to eat up the DS for a long time; its sales show no sign of stopping. Nintendo could focus all of their efforts into a Japanese launch (where DS/Wii is slowing) and prepare enough units for an American/European launch some time next year. The DS will continue to sell, no matter what. Why should Nintendo sacrifice sales of their best-selling system in their biggest market?

DS is not slowing in Japan. Wii is stagnant in all regions. If your logic made sense the original DS would have never released had they just waited for the GBA to stop selling.

I imagine the DS will be like the GBA when it comes to North America. That fucker died everywhere else but was consistently outselling the PS3 lol

I don't know about that. I buy a lot of Nintendo games but not enough for an awesome Nintendo poster autographed by Reggie :(

I really want one

I'm 90-something percent sure that the only games there that weren't announced at E3 are the bolded ones at the bottom. Translation?

The Combat of Giants Game is definitely not new. It's a continuation of Ubi Soft's DS game.

This place will explode more if the conference is a dissapointment than if it was a success... something to think about during all those 500 server errors
