3DS conference for Japanese press only

Next week, Nintendo will be revealing a Japanese launch date and price for the 3DS, along with other information about the handheld. But what about North America and Europe? Well, according to IGN, foreign press will not be able to attend the event, and it doesn’t sound like Nintendo will be holding any sort of conference overseas. Because of this, it’s very likely that most launch details will only pertain to Japan. This news worries me a bit that we won’t see the 3DS in North America/Europe this year, but we won’t know anything for sure until Wednesday.
