Even though the 3DS had a full blowout at E3, there are still two extremely important details about the system that have yet to be shared – A launch date and price. Retailers and analysts have made their own predictions, but nothing has been officially announced by Nintendo. Strangely, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime said that the handheld will launch next year on an episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, though other representatives have been hesitant to confirm that information.
All will be revealed on September 29 in Japan, however. Nintendo PR manager Yasuhiro Minagawa recently stated that in addition to revealing the price and release time frame, target shipments for this fiscal year will be announced. It’s possible that the 3DS will be just one of many products Nintendo will feature, as a “fall conference” has become a tradition for the company.
