The Shogun is the spirit of retail.

Would he know anything more than the Gamestop employee who told me that the n3DS was launching in May?

Yes.

 

[zeldarocks]

Yes.

Could you elaborate?

What makes him anymore reliable than your typical Gamestop employee?

 

[javadoze]

Feb 27th or Mar 27th seems like the best bet, or whenever Majora's Mask 3D is going to come out.

Hopefully there'll be a Nintendo Direct next week or so to clear this up.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Nintendo handhelds are like Wizards.

They arrive exactly when they mean to.

Voodoo Magic

 

[ultrazilla]

Hopefully soon! Bought a 2ds knowing the new 3ds was coming. The tech in the
new 3ds sounds great!

Hey now I never gave the launch date of n3DS.

That's Nintendo's fun time not mine.

 

[Jeels]

It really should have come out with Smash..

 

[TheAggroCraig]

I'll take a stab and say March 6th. Release it at PAX East Nintendo, along with MM3D!

I don't see myself getting one right away, unless they do the ambassador thing like they did for EU.

 

[NateDrake]

A friend of mine is a GameStop store manager & he told me Feb. 13. Not sure where he heard this or if it a guess. Probably just a guess.

Funny..that corresponds with my guess!

 

[Nintendojitsu]

-Releasing simultaneously with Majora Mask
-Limited edition new 3DS bundle
-March 22nd in NA

 

[vgamer1]

if they release a mm3d special edition n3ds i will die and go to heaven.

 

[DrForester]

Bet it's a Friday.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

I would be very surprised if the n3DS DOESN'T release on the same day as Majora's Mask 3D OR Codename STEAM.

One beep if they'll do a ambassador edition like NoE or 2 beeps for "no."

 

[Iced_Eagle]

I would love it if it were in the first half of February. I want to update to the n3DS XL badly, preferably at the same time or before MH4U.

 

[Snapshot King]

It's absolutely absurd that we don't have a date for this yet. Especially for Europeans, considering they could be randomly be selected to be able to buy them early all week.

Together with MM3D.
Which had Feb. 13. on it´s amazon.it product page (but now removed).

 

[ramparter]

March at the earliest and may at the latest.

+1
I think it makes the most sense.

edit
Oh sorry, for some reason I had MM3D in my mind. I believe Feb at the earliest and March at the latest.

 

[TheSlySoul]

April is my guess, but March is also a good guess.

 

[User 479360]

I'll champion March as well.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

A GAFer named Flarin declared there would be a Direct/announcement this week with absolute certainty. I think he took a ban bet.

So, we shall see. I dunno what his credibiloity is, though.

 

[SliceSabre]

I always assumed it would be somewhere around MM or MH's release date so that people could pick up a game that makes use of it at the same time.

 

[Sacul64GC]

Its definitely going to be before June I can see it being march. The 3dsxl is on a $30 discount most likely to clear out the last of the stock before Nintendo announces the New 3DS which we know is has extra features. We will get a Nintendo direct soon (next week or two) with dates for both.
