3DS design still not final, will be launched in “major markets” on March 2011

When the 3DS was announced, Nintendo said it would be released “within the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011.” That’s a huge time-frame right there, and according to what Reggie Fils-Aime said, it seems they’ll be maxing out that margin.

When the 3DS was announced, Nintendo said it would be released “within the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011.” That’s a huge time-frame right there, and according to what Reggie Fils-Aime said, it seems they’ll be maxing out that margin.

 

“The one thing, for sure,” said Fils-Aime, “is that we will launch in all of our major markets by March 31, 2011.” As for specific dates, the president of Nintendo of America pointed out that Nintendo is still “making individual market decisions in terms of what’s happening in Japan, what’s happening in the Americas [and] what’s happening in Europe.”

 

Reggie also mentioned that the model seen in the E3 unveiling is still not final. He didn’t give any hints or specifics as to which parts are getting redesigned, so don’t start making custom faceplates just yet.
