Support NeoGAF

[Mafro]

YES!

 

[wrowa]

Wow. I though I forever lost you, NeoGAF.

 

[Koodo]

GAF IS ALIVE.

So, about that price...

 

[Chris R]

If the US price is $300 I'll wait for the 3DS Lite. Library will be well established by then too.

 

[cosmicblizzard]

Damn, right before I go to sleep. Well, I'll see the aftermath in the morning.

 

[BigJonsson]

We all missed out on a THREE HUNDRED DOLLAR megaton Gaf killing hysteria........

So lets start now shall we


300 DOLLA!

 

[Linkhero1]

That was a painful wait. Anyways the conference wasn't that great, it seems like the 3ds is gonna be expensive (I'm guessing $250 in NA) and the release date is too far away.

 

[Art Teitlebaum]

Was a really entertaining conference with all of you. :lol

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

Looks like GAF is back up! Only 6 pages :lol

 

[Killthee]

That outage had awful timing.

 

[mehdi_san]

And we're back. Very disappointed by the launch date and price, but at least it comes with a 2GB SD card and the charging dock.

 

[Beth Cyra]

I got kicked from Gaf as soon as it started and just got allowed back on.

Guess Nintendo killed more then people's hope for a 200 dollar machine haha.

 

[ULTROS!]

Wow... I guess I'll wait for Nintendo 3DS Lite even if MML3 is coming to the 3DS.

 

[The M.O.B]

GJ Gaf on crashing the servers halfway through the conference :lol

 

[BigJonsson]

I assumed the 3DS killed Gaf until I saw Twitter

What are the odds!

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

I was expecting to be behind in this thread by 2,000+ posts by the time it let me back in.

$300 for a 3DS wooooooo! :/

Auto-mii creation is very cool, Mega Man Legends 3 is a nice announcement, and all the games are looking great. Still not completely clear on the tag mode stuff though. Also, GB/GBC virtual console wooooo!

 

[Provider]

So Feb 26 in Japan for 25,000 yen. March in America/Europe for... less than 300?.

 

[AniHawk]

New Kirby game for the DS was a surprise.

Price sucks. Not too thrilled about OoT visually either. I still say there's a chance the machine's under $200 in America, but it's looking more and more likely that it'll be in the $250 region, and I think that'll be too much for most people.

 

[ASIS]

3DS is such a kickass handheld but... yeah everything must come at a price I guess.

 

[SleepyJohn11]

Oh, so it wasn't just me when the site didn't load. :lol

And I heard roughly $250 for the price. But I'm more interested in the Rhythm Tengoku game coming to the wii. VC Gameboy sounds good, but I'm in rush for 3DS.

 

[gofreak]

So I waltz onto GAF 3 hours (?) after the conference started, expecting lots of reaction to the 3DS news, and there's a handful of posts... what happened? :lol

Anyway, interesting news. Not all of it on the sunnier side of speculation, but the 'hit the home button' to browse the web thing is nice.

 

[wrowa]

Was a really entertaining conference with all of you. :lol

Honestly, it was the most boring conference ever. Not a single site worked anymore! :lol I was constantly refreshing AndriaSang in hope that the site might load sometime... :lol

 

[Momo]

Do we have an irc? I felt so lonely the last 3 hours ;-;

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Holy crap, 3DS VC!

I want Metroid Zero Mission on it so badly! I lost my copy and don't have a DSLite or GBA anymore, so I'm so excited for it!

I'd also like to have the entire Super Mario Advanced collection on one SD card!

It'll be glorious!

 

[Shadowlink]

I really wanted them to release the Orange model.

 

[BigJonsson]

I was trying to get news from #3ds on Twitter but it was almost all in Japanese :lol


This link was useful though

After 15 minutes GAF died for the next three hours :lol

 

[geeko]

IT'S ALIVE!

 

[NintendoGal]

And here we go, queue tons of posts screaming about the high price point that hasn't been confirmed for the US.

I will admit to screaming due to sticker shock as well, but I'll wait and see what happens for the price here before I really start to join in.

 

[Ydahs]

How did a regular Nintendo conference crash GAF longer than any E3 conference? :lol

Or was it just a coincidence? For a second there I thought it was just my crappy 64kbps internet too.

 

[iamaustrian]

it will be 250$ in the US and 250€ in EU

28000 yen = 290$ or 220€

a 3DS plus cradle plus 2GB SD card for that price?
anyone complaining should just shut up

It was a coincidence.

 

[Jerk]

Ack, the frame-rates of most of those games...

Someone please tell me that my eyes have just stopped working correctly.

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Let me retract myself and say I'd gladly be raped with the bild rumoured european release at 200€ in March. Looks much better now.

 

[Hitokage]

Amazingly enough, that downtime was a total coincidence. Somehow the datacenter had a power outage.

 

[Gravijah]

250-300 dollars. This sucks. :/

 

[noirebanana]

$250 is a lot of money, but... yeah, I'm still getting one at launch, lol.

 

[Wallach]

25,000 yen what the fuck!

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

Just for those of you who are wondering why there was a three hour gap in the posting fir such a big event - a power outage killed the GAF server. Awful timing!

 

[Clipper]

I really wanted them to release the Orange model.

They still might... but not at launch .

 

[Art Teitlebaum]

Yes, it was kinda dull to read the few sources without the meltdown outrage here. So quiet in comparison to all the former megatons.

299!!!1!

 

[iamaustrian]

you can share VC games between several 3DSes
also Dsiware is tranferable to your 3DS

that is known already right?

 

[ASIS]

OOT looked very disappointing. It still "feels" old .. if that makes any sense.
Also.. NEW Fatal Frame for the Wii? OMG!!

 

[Beth Cyra]

Ack, the frame-rates of most of those games...

Someone please tell me that my eyes have just stopped working correctly.

I don't know, the video I saw had both SSFIV and RER looking really good.

 

[Sadist]

Holy shit I was scared

 

[DrM]

a 3DS plus cradle plus 2GB SD card for that price?

You are correct

 

[Neo C.]

I was already very skeptical about all the 179-199$ predictions, but 25'000 Yen is quite shocking.

Perhaps I can just walk in any store and get one this time?

Spoiler

not really

 

[EviLore]

As I posted on twitter (ugh), it was a power surge at the datacenter that took everything offline, and then once power was restored there was another issue with the PHP server that required another reboot. Completely unrelated to the conference, just a coincidence.

 

[careksims]

HAHA. Gaf has died and is reborn!

In other news.

Nintendo, take my money NOW! DAY ONE BITCHES!

 

[Boss Doggie]

Why are people assuming direct forex?

It's most likely gonna be 250.
