heh, I just heard about this this morning as well! 20th November sounds reasonable, but I'm still gonna take it as a rumor until Ninty confirms it.

I might be wrong, but I think it was always Nintendo's intention to release the 3DS in Japan in 2010, but it probably won't be seen outside until around March or April.

I agree. I don't think we, as in Aussies, will see it until March.

Not long to go until we find out when - officially.
| Quote: | | On July 29, 2010, it was officially announced that the 3DS release date & price will be announced on September 29, 2010. |
Love those announcements of announcements.

Well, it *is* Mario's 25th birthday. It'd be a good way to celebrate it.

Nope, only the content from the DSiWare store is. I have faith that the 3DS will follow in the DS's footsteps and be region free for physical games.

The download content on DSi is, and certain games that use DSi specific technology (pokemon black and white, I think).

Nintendo will lock down this baby 1000%. DS games no, they will be still region free. 3DS games, locked all the way.
Nintendo are tough daddies!
While this is a concern for me, a bigger concern is the online structure for migrating from DSi accounts to 3DS.

Simple. They won't. You'll have to buy all your dsi stuff again.
This is Nintendo, they may be able to make games well but you know they're not going to do anything to make there customers lives easy.

So assuming this comes out in a similar time frame to the Wii and DS, it'll come out when I'm in Sydney...
Oh who the fuck am I kidding, if it's region locked I'm just importing from the US.

What gives you that impression? Nintendo fucked up majorly with the DSi's region locking; I really don't think they'll do it again. Or if they do, no region lock on cartridges anyway.
