3DS

Hey folks – wanted to take a second to remind everything that Nintendo World 2011 will officially begin later this evening. Although most information about the 3DS will likely come from the January 19 event, there will be a number of stage presentations for upcoming titles and off-screen demo footage. We also heard rumblings earlier today that Nintendo will share more details on the Japanese launch lineup. In any case, make sure you stop by the site at 8 PM EST. I’m not sure if any news will be available immediately, but I’ll be here just in case!


Japanese gaming website Inside-Games claims to have some interesting information on the launch of the 3DS and software prices for new titles. The site states that roughly 10 games will be ready for the launch of the 3DS. More games from third-parties will be sprinkled between the rest of February and March. Apparently more information regarding launch titles will be shared tomorrow when Nintendo World 2011 kicks off.

Inside Games is also reporting that although a large number of publishers have not determined final pricing for their games, new releases will cost about ¥1,000 more than typical DS software (¥4,800). However, pricier games could see a rise of ¥2,000 or more. Ultimately 3DS game prices could come close to what consumers have been experiencing with the PSP.

Eye specialists speaking with the New York Times have issued a statement saying that Nintendo is over-dramatizing the whole situation with these warnings about the 3DS…

“The fact you’d watch 3-D in a theater or a video game should have zero deleterious impact whatsoever,” – Dr. Lawrence Tychsen, a professor of pediatrics and ophthalmology at Washington University in St. Louis.

“I don’t think that parents need to worry about kids playing video games, 3-D or otherwise, from a vision perspective. The bigger question for parents is: Do you really want your 3-year-old playing a video game?” – Dr. David Granet, a pediatric ophthalmologist at the University of California at San Diego

Well… I guess they’d know better than me! My guess is that Nintendo is just trying to cover themselves in case something does go awry.
