After many rumors, leaks, lies and half truths, those who wanted to have in your hands the new Nintendo 3DS and can make a date on your calendar: February 26, 2011.

That day, the new Nintendo handheld will arrive in Nipponese land, just announced by Satoru Iwata, president of the company. But maybe you’ll want to know when we acquire in Western lands. Well, not much has been specified, but commented that both America and Europe will receive during the month of March, ie, that the rumors were not very misguided.

Nor were they wrong about the price: the unit will cost 25,000 yen. What is the equivalent of about $ 298, which would come to assume about 220 euros if you did not know that the conversion would not be so kind as to face the Europeans, so that surely will make these $ 300 € 300 magic.

As for the design of the notebook, finally differ little from that presented at E3, except for a small change in the analog stick and stylus. The first colors to the console will be distributed navy blue and black. Personally, the first has always seemed unattractive.

More functions hitherto unaware: a new online store where you can download Nintendo titles from old consoles to the mark, and even some of them can play with new features in three dimensions. We also have the opportunity to get a picture (in 3D, it was already known) and from there create ourselves our own Wii.

In short: some of you have reason to be salivating from now. Not for me, because I can not even see the stereoscopic 3D.
