Nintendo 3DS: First Impressions
For a full 3DS Recap:

At long last Nintendo is cutting loose with some details on the Nintendo 3DS such as a launch date, price and what games to expect.

While the focus about the next iteration of the DS line has all been about the fact it will have a 3D display, it seems Nintendo is doing all sorts of things to the handheld device to make it more than just "a game". The inclusion of a Web browser, social applications, multiple cameras, video viewing, music playing and a pedometer (yes, this thing will measure how far you work) seem to be turning this into an all-in-one device. Convergence has been the name of the game for a while in electronics as people don't want to carry multiple devices any more, but it does seem they may have gone a tad overboard this time around.

And the price for the 3DS reflects this. When it launches on march 27th you can expect to be putting down $249.99 to take one home with you. That seems a bit high to me, but the last handheld system I bought was a GameBoy Advance for $99, so what would I know?

Nintendo is launching this 3D gaming mobile console on March 27th, and during that time you can expect to see over 30 game titles launch for the system.
