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.

A new streamlined launch trailer also arrived in our inbox, and is available here:

I plan to be at the store waiting for the doors to open. I might actually pre-order the Collector Box version.

Nintendo offering support for Metroid: Other M bug

September 27th, 2010 Posted in News, Wii, Written by Valay

Update: Nintendo of America is on board as well. Here’s their response:

“If you are experiencing this issue, we are able to resolve it by fixing your save data. For instructions on how to set up a repair by sending us your save file on an SD card, or for other options, please call 1-800-255-3700. Representatives are available from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (PST) seven days a week.”

A couple of weeks ago, we reported that a number of Metroid: Other M players were experiencing a game-breaking door glitch bug. At the time, it seemed as though Nintendo would not be coming up with a fix for the issue. While that still appears to be the case in North America, the company does have a plan for Japan.

Players who send in an SD card with their save files or the Wii itself to Nintendo’s service center in Uji will be able to overcome the bug. Nintendo will cost the cover of shipping, though it was stated in an official release that one week will be needed to fix the game. No downloadable patch has been announced, so consumers only have two options: send in the necessary save file or restart the game. We’ll let you know if Nintendo has similar plans for other territories.

One question you’ve gotta ask is why they’d make a new console. To get better graphics? This generation has proven that doesn’t matter and may even be a hindrance to making successful games. For better control? They’ve already done that once with the Motion Plus add-on. It’s possible the Wii is going to be the last box we see from Nintendo for quite a while.

Nintendo will probably wait for 2013. Once crazies realize that 2012 wasn’t the end of the world, their parties will need some games to play
