This is exactly why I didn’t emphasize one of Jonathan Ross’s tweets yesterday. A number of people assumed that Ross indicated there will be a Metroid 3DS announcement on Wednesday on his Twitter account. However, he was actually responding to the portion of a fan’s tweet about surprises at the conference. This isn’t an ultimate dagger in terms of killing the rumor, but I wouldn’t count on a Metroid reveal this week. Still, we heard that something “cool” will be shown, so make sure to check out NE on Wednesday!

The latest issue of Japanese magazine Friday contains an article regarding players’ experience while playing the 3DS at Nintendo World 2011. According to the magazine, many attendees felt dizzy within 10 minutes of play time. Others said that they experienced some fatigue eye fatigue as well. One man told Friday that he was forced to switch the system to 2D mode after playing Samurai Warriors: Chronicle for a few minutes. Although many players were interesting in experiencing 3D, apparently a great deal of people turned off the effect as a result of eye fatigue.

As would be expected, a number of participants suggested keeping the system in a fixed position to lessen the symptoms. It has been stated numerous times that the system has a sweet spot for optimal 3D viewing, and players can adjust the 3D affect by adjusting the 3D depth slider.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata revealed last week that 1.5 million 3DS units will be shipped to Japan by the end of March. How much product will be available on launch day, though?

Well, a retailer is under the impression that the number will be around 400,000 units. This is quite a low figure, all things considered. The retailer believes consumers should pre-order when the program begins on January 20th due to the small shipment. It would probably be best to do the same in North America and Europe, too. Only 2.5 million 3DS units will be shipped outside of Japan, which means that the US, UK, and plenty of other territories will be forced to share the inventory.

Nintendo has already confirmed that the 3DS launch date and price will be announced this Wednesday. More information about the handheld in general will be shared, and the press will be able to try out titles for a few hours. But could there be a surprise on the way as well? Jonathan Ross, who will be hosting the Amsterdam conference, posted the following on his Twitter account yesterday:

“A few other faves coming as well – plus a few unexpected revivals!! Can say no more, sorry.”

Also worth noting, when a fan said he is happy there will be a surprise and that he hopes Metroid will be at the event, Ross responded by saying, “I think you’re going to be pleased then…”

A NeoGAF member who will be attending the event posted the following nugget as well:

“Yup. Expect something cool out of the NYC/Amsterdam thing. From what I’ve been told, it will be shared between digital distributed stuff and physical.”

So, it looks as though there will be at least one new announcement for the 3DS at the conference. Wednesday just got a little more interesting!
