iTWire UPDATE - it's FREE!


Nintendo are taking the new hand-held 3DS, the glasses-free 3D gaming device, on a tour around Australia (well most of it anyway).  This will give people a chance to try out the magical 3D effect, and start saving their cash for the March 31st release date.


At last night's Aussie 3DS launch, iTWire had a chance to get some hands-on, but more importantly, eyes-on time with the new Nintendo hand-held hardware.

Essentially, the device will come in two colour choices and go on sale this March 31st at the Japanese head-office set retail price of AU$349.95.

Leading up to the launch, Nintendo will be tethering the 3DS to some attractive staff members and sending them on the road for Australians to have a try.  Here are the dates.

With the ability to play 3D games, take 3D photos, and watch 3D movies all without the need for special glasses, Nintendo 3DS really has to be seen to be believed.

Try Nintendo 3DS at one of these locations:


10 February - Melbourne and Sydney
6.00pm to 9.00pm at EB Games, 67 Swanston Street Melbourne in the Nintendo Experience.
