UK retailer GAME has managed to get their hands on a final, retail release of the 3DS. You can check out a bunch of unboxing photos above, but there is one image in particular that should be pointed out.
Of course, we know that six AR cards are bundled with the handheld. While most of the cards had been a mystery, the first photo above indicates that Mario, Link, Kirby, Samus, and Pikmin will be involved in the 3DS’ Augmented Reality functionality. Unfortunately, we don’t know much more than that. We’ll have to wait for additional information, so stay tuned!
Cubic Ninja will be released in Japan on April 7 for 3,990 yen.
Better late than never, right?!

This information comes from Nintendo’s 3DS site…
“Prepaid Nintendo point cards cannot be used with the Nintendo 3DS. Prepaid point cards that can be used with the 3DS will go on sale at a later date.”
This is a shame, but at least there will be a better system in place in terms of purchasing content on the 3DS eShop. It is odd though that players will be forced to use cards on the DSi while DSiWare content on 3DS will take advantage of the new cash-based system.
