Sorry Japan, the Nintendo 3DS won’t be hitting store shelves until well after the holidays. On an earnings call this week, Nintendo announced that its forthcoming portable gaming system will go on sale in its native country on February 26th of next year. The device will run 25,000 yen–that’s roughly $299.
We reported back in June, that the 3DS will ship in the States by the end of March. That timeframe still seems to be the case at the moment, though a release issued by
Nintendo states that the company’s “overseas subsidiaries will make separate announcements at later dates regarding territory-specific launch dates and prices.”
The 3DS made a splash when it was first announced at E3 in Los Angeles for its ability to simulate 3D images without the need for glasses.
