On Sunday morning at midnight the new 3DS was officially released in the United States.
Jimmy Fallon had someone show off what the 3DS can do on his show Friday night before the release just 24 hours later. Of course, watching it on tv is nothing like actually playing it because you don't get the 3D effects.
From articles I've read there were lines at midnight at electronic department stores across the country with people ready to get their hands on the first shipments.
An obvious downfall for the system however, is there are few 3D games for the system. So, I'm waiting until there are more games available... that I want to play.
This handheld 3DS costs around $250 off the shelf, but is going for about double that on Ebay and other online electronic selling sites.
USA Today says "Nintendo aims to ship 4 million 3DS systems globally by the end of March. On Feb. 26, the first day it was available in Japan, consumers bought more than 400,000. The system also launches in Europe on Friday."
So, the system isn't even global yet. Although I have heard little from actual users, I would like to. If you've gotten your hands on one of these 3DS', I'd like to talk to you!
It's a girl's world... you gamers are just living in it!
