Incoming Gadget: Nintendo 3DS

Recently, I posted a first impression of the Nintendo 3DS after having had a play with it during my trip to Japan with my wife just under a week ago. I was lucky enough to get out to Yodobashi Camera (???????) in Osaka on the morning of Friday 11/03/2011 before the 9.0 magnitude earthquake struck in the afternoon.

Anyway, I placed a pre-order for the Nintendo 3DS at JB Hi-Fi which seemed to have the lowest price at the moment at $298. I am also holding on to my original Nintendo DS for a comparison between the first iterations of these successive generations of these consoles as well as taking up residence in my archive of old gadgets. For the record, I have ordered the black model as I didn’t like the two tone look of the blue model when it is opened up.

As always, stay tuned for the unboxing, preview and review videos of this device!
