"Someone has a Nintendo 3DS. Who is that someone? Well it’s apparently a Chinese factory worker who smuggled the device off-site. Problem is, he posted it on a forum (I believe it’s this forum) but the thread was deleted."

UPDATE: Video

 

[Yousefb]

Are all the demos included in it or can he not do much with it?

 

[KHarvey16]

I hear Foxconn is hiring.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

It begins.

Nintendo ninjas are coming, good luck, Chinese worker bee.

Spoiler

Sooo ugly, I won´t buy it until the first or second revision

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

Why would you tempt fate (aka Nintendo's ninjas)?

 

[$200]

Why does the analog have a different colour?

 

[yencid]

its always china aint it?

 

[TTP]

Very odd placement of the power button.

[Nuclear Muffin]

Pics, vids, details or it didn't happen.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

So tell me, does it look different from the prototypes at E3?
it looks a little slicker from what I have seen.

[PeakPointMatrix]

Can he do anything with it? Can he even charge it?


And what gives, the picture isn't even grainy or blurry.

FAKE.

 

[ant1532]

analog is fugly. but its possibly one of the best videogame systems ever so who gives a fuck

 

[Ushojax]

Why even bother, it probably can't even be turned on. Now he'll have to live in constant fear of Nintendo's lawyer-ninjas.

 

[antonz]

Home,Select etc buttons seem different. No longer raised up

 

[Zero-Crescent]

"Smuggled" it out? Huh, I wonder how he/she did that.
On second thought...

 

[Alphahawk]

Little did he realize that it only had one D-the other two had yet to be installed....

 

[Nemesis_]

Seeing this atrocity makes me very worried that a second revision will come out down the line.

I want the 3DS NOW but should I wait for a nicer looking revision?

Sighhhh

(This will be the first time I buy a 1st "Gen" Nintendo device)

this is the one at E3:

:lol You are only just realising that now? Nintendo has been pulling that stunt since the 90s. I'm still amazed they got away with the original GBA screen. Nintendo knows how to do awkward hardware that you must have but that also has a horrible design.

 

[Mockingbird]

This is what happens when you assemble things in China. Now he needs to smuggle some games so he'll be able to use it.

 

[xelios]

RIP, Chinese factory worker.

 

[gofreak]

Maybe it's just the photos (and the unflattering flash in the leaked photo), but the material on the prototypes looked so much better. This one has a rather 'ordinary' texture to it.

Does 3DS require a different charger to DS? Maybe he can boot up DS games on it or something... Perhaps root around the OS for clues/features.

 

[confuziz]

found it:

this is the one at E3:

pretty much alike right?

 

[antonz]

new picture. this time Battery seen!

 

[Majine]

I still don't like the looks. Why did they need the line around the bottom screen?

 

[kaizoku]

Looks a lot nicer there than in previous outings, not at all like the phat DS abomination :lol

Might be tempted to bite first time now. Although more than happy to stick with DS until 3DS games are proven, DS backlog is biggest in history!

 

[Munin]

Can anyone tell me how it could possibly be comfortable to use that D-pad where it is?

 

[DonMigs85]

FAKE.

Considering the leaked PSP Go/PS3 Slim box pics turned out to be real, and a PS3 Slim unit was even found in the Philippine grey market months before the official release, this is very plausible.

Thats so fuckign seyx.

 

[DR2K]

Needs more gloss.

 

[Xater]

How long before it ends up on Gizmodo?

 

[antonz]

Says 96MB of ram

 

[whatevermort]

If they release that Orange one I will buy it in a heartbeat. That might be the nicest looking handheld I've ever seen.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Why is the E3 one sexy glossy but the smuggled one looks like cheap plastic?


Edit: whoa at new pic^^ nm

Where did you get that image?

 

[Negator]

Huh....I thought the 3DS had two analogues.

 

[Psykotik]

Needs more gloss.

looks pretty glossy to me

 

[DonMigs85]

Expect to see a decapitated Jason Chen if that happens.
Also, did Nintendo actually boost the amount of RAM a bit?

The hardware looks, and feels, much better in person then the pictures Nintendo published during E3.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

@ antonz

Can you give us the link to the forum/blog where the pix are coming from?

I have played on it at gamescom but that was an E3 build obviously
