When the 3DS arrives next year, game cards will be able to hold two gigabytes of data. But future titles will apparently be able to hold much more than that. Macronix, the producer of current DS cards, has stated that projects developed following the launch of Nintendo’s upcoming portable will be capable of storing up to eight gigabytes. To compare, we’ve heard games on the DS using as much as four gigabits.

For 120 coins, you can order a red or blue suede pouche, which you can see above. According to Nintendo, you can place your Wiimote in the pouche, as well as your DS or 3DS (when it comes out, that is…). The red one turns “warm grey” while the blue one turns “cool gray.” In other words, the pouches are reversible.

Thanks to Thomas N for the tip!

This information comes from Take-Two COO Karl Slatoff…

“Obviously we’re excited about the 3DS. We’re looking at what it can do for the consumer market… and the same holds true for Kinect.”

Well, we’ve seen Grand Theft Auto games on the last two Nintendo handhelds. However, everyone pretty much knows that Chinatown Wars failed to light up the sales charts. Will Take-Two/Rockstar take another risk on the 3DS?

Earlier today, we received an official confirmation that Nintendo will be having a conference next month in Europe. However, word on the street is that a North American event will take place on the same day. The Escapist Magazine is reporting that Nintendo has issued for a conference in New York City. The 19th may very well be Nintendo’s day to announce 3DS launch information for overseas territories.

Last night’s rumor regarding a possible Nintendo conference in Europe next month has been confirmed. The company has been sending out invitations to the press for the January 19 event in Amsterdam. As expected, it seems that Nintendo will be revealing the launch date and price of the system, in addition to other information. We only know of one conference next month at the moment, but I’d be shocked if something didn’t happen in North America as well.

Thanks to Pablo and Guillaume for the tip!
