Nintendo Plans Launch Events for 3DS

Posted March 21, 2011 by David Radd

Nintendo has announced that they're having a special launch event on March 26 at the Best Buy store in Union Square in New York City, along with other Best Buy stores around the country. To find out if a Best Buy in your area is holding a 3DS launch event, visit bestbuy.com/3DS.

"Nintendo 3DS can play 3D video games and take 3D pictures, but that's just the tip of the iceberg," said Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. "The 3D display is amazing in its own right, but just as compelling are the new forms of game play it delivers, and the groundbreaking ways it will connect players to new content … and each other."

Nintendo also plans to set up 6,000 kiosks in retailers over the next couple months to let players sample the system. The Nintendo 3DS will be available nationwide March 27 at for $249.99 with 18 games on launch day.
