Rumor - Nintendo 3DS releasing in October
Ricardo Trejo
It will be playable at this year’s E3 but no one expected it to come out this soon - CVG is reporting that “industry sources” believe the 3DS handheld, first announced a month ago, will be available and out on store shelves this October. Pretty bold talk if you ask me, but then again a lot of these rumors usually end being true, though, I do caution you to take this with a grain of salt as always.
Their source had this to say:
“It’s a surprise - we were expecting it much closer to Christmas. But I suppose it gives Nintendo the opportunity to get it front and centre in people’s minds nice and early… In my experience, you don’t launch a product that early to Christmas unless you’re confident in it - and going to spend a lot of money on it. We’re reassured that Nintendo is going to give it some decent backing in Q4.”
Could we be looking at a 10/10/10 release date? That smells a lot like the 9/9/99 Dreamcast launch - oh nostalgic memories.
