Unconfirmed: German paper touts November 11 3DS launch date

Is the Nintendo 3DS launching in Japan on November 11? Possibly yes, if a German tabloid with a track record for calling Nintendo rumors correctly is to be believed.

Case in point, according to Bild, which cites no source but nevertheless definitively lists a Japanese launch date, the 3DS is arriving in Nippon on November 11. No word was given on a U.S. or European launch date, save for “spring 2011.”

Dubious? Of course it is. But! November 11 has been floated before. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire, as they say…

This post suggests that they may have sourced from engadget, which in turn sourced from them. I’m not saying that’s the case, just putting it out there.

As much as I’d like to believe them, these release dates that are being tossed around are still rumours and unconfirmed by the Big N. I’ll wait until they officially announce a release date before getting really excited for it. None the less I’m looking forward to getting my hands on one of these devices when the time comes.

Well, it’s a month and a half away and it would seem to be too close from the time Nintendo will be announcing release and pricing info. Still, this would mean that a release over here could be in december but is likely to be moved until march.

They’re also saying the 3DS would cost 270$.

I’m calling foul.
