Information Update - Nintendo 3DS


1.- The Nintendo 3DS press conference which will take place in Japan on September 13th will play host to some new products.

More After the Break...

Whilst it’s unlikely there will be a hardware revision you should expect to hear details about some new and upcoming games for the system. Nintendo also announced it will be live streaming the conference. The stream will be in Japanese, but at least we can enjoy the visual side of things.

As andriasang reports:

…the event is described as a “Nintendo 3DS new product announcement conference.” This presumably means that we’ll get a look at the latest lineup of 3DS-related product.

The exact time for the conference is 12:00pm on September 13th. This is in Japan though, so make sure you account for the time zone difference.

2.- The Nintendo 3DS continues to sit at the top of the Japanese hardware chart for the third consecutive week. Nintendo managed to sell a respectable 60,781 units putting it ahead of Sony’s PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable. However, there does appear to a drop in sales for the 3DS as it managed to sell 196,077 units two weeks ago when the price drop came into effect.
