Until then, we shall make our guesses for what we think those 2 bits of info will be! I'll give 500 luts to whoever is closest.
My guess is $200, out in December.
$250, April 2011.
$170, March
$199.99, out in May 2011 OR Fall 2011
$250 USD May 3rd 2011
$299.99 US Dollars
Japan-November 2010
North America-March 2011

I really hope the 3DS doesn't cost more than the Wii. It just seems like a seriously bad idea. Remember the backlash over the price of the PSPgo ($250)? No way it will be in the 200s. DSI XL is only $170, with the Wii at $200 even.
Probably will release in Japan This holiday season, around December or late November.
NA, probably early/late spring, around May. I do not think it'll be a Summer release. Nor will they wait until Winter/Fall to release in the US.

The DSi XL is also a lot cheaper to make. I do agree about the backlash though, I'm sure Nintendo saw what happened with the PSPgo. Also, both the DS and Wii came out in the US before they did in Japan, so I don't see why we can't get it around November if Japan does too. It could be out in spring though.
PSPGo was a remodel of a PSP
charging more for a remodel than the original system did at launch was dumb and it's obvious why that caused backlash.
you even just said that the 3ds isn't a remodel so it's not the same issue

Back in 2006 ¥25,000 was ~$215 because the a dollar was worth between ¥115-120, now a dollar is about ¥83. maps;
I didn't mention this earlier because I honestly forgot how much the Wii was at launch in yen. So, really, you should expect the 3DS to be balls expensive in the US too. [This also explains why Nintendo didn't mention the price for us, they don't want to have a six month period in which negative press can build over the 3DS' price]

He's not right, prices for stuff like this almost never translate directly.
Wasn't Dragon Quest IX something like $70 at launch in Japan? baddood;
I said it was entirely possible for a spring launch, and he was right on that. But it won't cost $300.
the dsi xl was $220 in nippon but $190 in north america
still, i'd be surprised it actually did end up being 'only' $250 here sillydood;

Wii:

You are right that the prices don't translate directly, they tend to be more expensive here. goonish
Obviously if you were to do the currency exchange
now it would skew the results in favour of the US. Companies usually use an average of the exchange rate [which is still about ¥88 per dollar] which puts the price at about $285.
You can call me pessimistic all you want, but it's the truth. And the currency market won't change in six months at all unless Japan were to revalue its currency [hint: Japan has known about its currency gaining strength since September 2008 and hasn't done anything to correct it yet, I don't suspect they will at all].

You can already see with Tec's example that it's beginning to go the other way now. Also keep in mind that the Japanese gaming market is quite different from the US game market.
I stay $250 and I stand by it.

I say that you're going to be sorely disappointed when the final price for the US is announced. If it was going to be $250, they would have had no problem announcing it at their event. They side-stepped the issue because they know they're going to have to break the cost barrier for a major handheld set by Sony with the PSP. girl;
When are those prices from? Did you take the launch price and convert it to the CURRENT exchange rate? Because its been flibbidy flobbidy in the past few years.
I stand by 249.99 as well. I don't think Nintendo has the balls to release a handheld that is more expensive than their current home console's launch price.
I can't wait to see its sales vs. the PS3's. AWESOME
The conversions were using the old average exchange rate between the dollar and yen between 2004-2006 of ¥115-120 per fuck dollar. befuddlement

I
might get one at $250 (definitely won't at $300), but I'd really prefer to wait for a price drop after a year or the eventual remodel that will be far better, cheaper, and probably out by Fall 2012.

Of course they'll be better because it's not $600 and the DS is insanely popular, but the price is definitely going to prevent it from selling very well.

Like I said, the prices never translate that close.
Also that's what it would usually come with, is that a bad thing? They already said it comes with a few little games built-in.
Also they keep showing that docking station. It probably won't come with it, but they sure like to show it.

Yes, hur, the DSi is cheaper here than it is there, but the DS is a six-year-old system and it's just pure profit for them. In Japan, all that has to be done to increase DS sales is release a new colour and everybody goes out to buy a new one. That really is not the case in the US.

There's a difference though. At both ~$220 and $170 they're making money on the DSi, the price difference has little matter there. But for a
brand new system with a harder to produce screen, they're not going to price it that much differently in the US and Japan.
Nintendo never sells consoles at loss. Me86's point was that the DS is a six year old system thus Nintendo can still largely profit on selling the DSi slightly cheaper here.
they've already long ago broken even on research costs and whatnot.
i really think you are not considering the cost or time it takes to develop a new console hiro
it would explain why you dont see me86's point or what i was saying about the 3ds being announced so soon after the launch of the dsi.

I think it'll have some similarities, but they will definitely make improvements. Nintendo's not proud of their online system, Iwata himself has said that he knows there's problems with it and that they're looking into ways to fix it.
Maybe this time it'll be one system-wide friend code wariodood;
Also, players will receive invites from friends to play online. Say if you were playing Street Fighter or Mario Kart, you'd get an invitation. It's been done on other consoles, but it's a start.
A little note about this foreign exchange stuff: Japanese DS games vary in price more than US ones, but the most popular ones (like Pokemon) generally seem to have retail price of 4800 Yen at launch; about $55~60, in contrast to the $35 that US stores charge.
I don't think Nintendo feels much of a need to announce the US launch price at a Japanese press conference, where they're not even giving the exact US release date. They'll probably announce our price the same time as our exact release date.
most game I see are about 3000 yen. But then I don't buy release game often but I will assume they can't be more than about 4000. I have never buyed game which was 4800 before because that would be mega-expensive 0_~

It's mostly talk, but my friend who is the manager at Gamestop said his Nintendo rep guy came in...
He said the 3DS would be $250, but he also thinks Nintendo is bundling something in with it because handhelds over $200 generally don't sell...so we should be seeing something good.
At least that's what the Nintendo rep said.
3.5h battery life xD

Exactly. You're going to buy it regardless. Now shut up and enjoy the updates I bring. <3

Anyway, I'm not not interested in a single one of those third-party titles and two of the three games I am interested in are remakes. :|

-Paper Mario 3DS
-Star Fox 3DS
-Resident Evil
-MGS3
Probably the reasons why i want a 3DS akudood;
I have it paid off. Even if there aren't any great games at launch, I'm not going to risk having to wait when the system is sold out.
I'll get Pilot Wings, Nintendogs and whatnot. I can wait until June.
I hope the $50 price tag for some games doesn't stick. saddood;
Nintendo's games will be $39.99, so I'm not too concerned as I primarily buy first party games.
If a 3rd party game is good, I don't mind paying full price.
That's good. baddood;
[spoiler]Though, I remember when first party Xbox 360 games were $50 :([/spoiler]
They've gone up to $60. sillydood;
that's the point
i hope nintendo doesn't do the same myface;
GCN games were $50. The 3DS looks to be just a little more powerful than the GCN.
If the price rises, I don't see this as a problem.
n64 games went up to $80 and the DS is more powerful than the N64 but the maximum price for DS games is $40 :|
Yet you still bought it. n_u

also this was before those faggots put it on psn :|
I'll admit at first I was a tad worried about the PSP2 when it came to sales but now that I've seen Sony's funeral handheld, I have no doubt that once again Nintendo will dominate this market. sillydood;
Both handhelds will struggle with sales after the post-launch hype is exhausted. Partially due to price and secondly due to lack of games.
Just look back to any of the recent launches, there's always one decent game that comes out at launch and then there's months of ports and rehashes until developers start really developing for it.
The way I see it:
Yes, they're both over priced. The 3DS is practically a handheld Wii plus more features than the Wii had. It should be priced more than $250 here, but Nintendo knew that it needed a reasonable price. With what the PSP2 has to offer, there's no way it'll be under a $399 price tag. It's practically a PS3 to go.
That, and the fanbase is larger for Nintendo. goowan

I there's no way it will cost 399. I'm saying either 299 or 350.
You're fucking retarded to think it will be only $299-$350 goowan
Nintendo may have a larger install base for the DS, but how much of it is made up of people with the ability to buy it on their own? huhdoodame;
And Sony could have one terrible card up its sleeve that it doesn't want to mention yet: [spoiler]Having wireless carries willing to sell it at a subsidy so they can charge consumers who buy it absurd data rates. It may seem crazy, but it could be a potentially large market for companies brave enough to take Sony up on its offer of a 3G-capable handheld. [/spoiler]
Does it really matter though? Most parents will buy it for their children.
And while the price of the PSP2 hasn't been announced, I can tell you parents will go for Nintendo because it's cheaper.

It isn't really as powerful as a PS3, it just looks like early 360 graphics, and can't pull nearly the same amount of polygons. It is still really powerful though.
I just looked at the specs on it, and I'm sticking by $350.
