I heard a release of March 2011. Is this confirmed?

Also cannot wait to get my hands on a demo unit. I had 3D software on my computer for a little while and 3D gaming is just amazing.

They say that the 3DS will come out by March 2011. But it can come out anytime before that.

Now THIS would be a fun little app to show off the 3DS. It's fake, as that is a DSi and has 3D on both screens instead of one and whatnot, but that would still be a fun little demo to show people.

You're kidding, right?
That's a real DSiWare game.
I own it.
It's called "Looksly's Adventure" or something like that. You help Looksly (and author) find words for his book.

Yeah, it's a great game.

It uses the camera to track your face, to view the room in 3d.

Orly? Didn't know head tracking was being used in mainstream gaming yet. Has it been used in anything else? Last I knew it was totally conceptual.

I haven't been keeping up too well with anything DS unfortunately, but that is starting to change. With my new job and looking for a new car you might say I have been too busy to keep up. I'm sorry I have been 'living under a rock for the last month'. This info does make me smile quite a bit, head tracking is a great tech that can be applied to any type of game pretty effectively. Good to hear.

There is a rumor going around that the 3DS will be released on the 20th of November.

Nintendo has already said it will announce the release date on the 29th of September.

3DS North American release date is March 2011.
No price was specified.

It will release in Japan on February 26th, 2011 for 25000Y (299 US Dollars).

Here's a summary of things announced at the Conference.
Tag mode functionality will show up as a list of things received, Miis can be received through tag mode, stopping of gameplay to connect to the web via browser.

Augmented reality games shown.

Mii creation studio being shown

Put the system in a cradle for quicker transfers

All 3DS games can communicate while in sleep mode

Light on upper-right of 3DS unit, practically on R shoulder, shows when your console has passed another 3DS and received data

The 3DS stores tag-mode data from all sorts of games, so you don't have to actually be playing a specific game to get tag-mode data for that game.

Use the 3ds camera to take a picture of your face for Mii creation, and then use a template to help easier create a Mii that looks like yourself.

Save a pic of your Mii to an SD card

Mii characters can then be converted into a QR Code that you can print out or post on a website so you can share your Mii in a different way: friends use their
3DS cameras to take a picture of the code and instantly retrieve your Mii. There is also a Tag Mode Mii Plaza so you can see all the Mii characters you've collected wirelessly.

3DS feature where hardware can auto-merge two photos into 1

Multi-tasking function: hit the home button mid-game and launch certain programs, such as a "Memory Notebook" or pull up your playtime or see the amount of steps you've taken. Does this indicate a built-in pedometer, or is this related to already-released DS hardware?

3DS unit will come w 2GB SD card packed in

A series of Augmented Reality Games will be included with the 3DS hardware.

Game Boy, Game Boy Advance and Classic games in 3D to be sold on VC service!

3DS can connect on WiFi when in sleep mode and auto-dl data, including rankings, ghost rankings, free software, n more.

NTT will be supporting 3DS internet connection, with NTT BP's Wifine area providing support in 2011. This rankings and auto-download data feature can be accessed at DS Stations and Nintendo Zones as well.

Final 3DS Design.

I personally like watching the augmented reality game in that little teaser.

A view videos of games being played on the 3DS.

My favorite is Zelda of course.
