Apologies for skipping yesterday’s show, but Jeff and Wilson were at a Nintendo event where the company revealed big news: the Nintendo 3DS will be available on March 27 for $250.
Nintendo also showed off ten 3DS games that will be for sale at the release, all developed specifically for a 3D environment, like Steel Diver, Kid Icarus Uprising, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Super Street Fighter IV 3D, and more.
CNET’s Scott Stein impression of the device takes issue with the 3D effect breaking as you engage the accelerometer and tilt the unit, but we’ll have a more thorough examination for you when it finally launches on March 27.
In more video game news, a clever viral ad for Dead Space 2 shows a group of mothers reacting to the intense gameplay. Banking on the idea that gamers love what their mothers hate, the outer space horror game Dead Space 2 will be available on January 25.
Good news for select Google Voice users: the search giant is offering the ability to port your phone number to Google Voice. Prior to this new feature, you had to memorize a unique number to give out to friends and family, but now you can pay $20 to give your number over to Google; then all you have to do is sign up for a new contract and you’ll never have to send out the classic “hey this is my new number” message again.
CNET’s Jessica Dolcourt also adds this tip: “Just keep in mind that jumping ship on any current mobile contract will incur your carrier’s wrath in the form of early termination fees. Therefore, port wisely, young Googlers.” Thanks Jessica!
