DAILY MANIFESTO

3DS Wants To Make Your Eyes Bleed With Old Games Too

Posted on Tuesday, September 28 @ 23:02:22 Eastern by
Nintendo of Japan are holding a 3DS event right now-ish and have announced that the Virtual Console on the 3DS will have classic Game Boy titles... in 3D!

While I don't have a ton of information to share right now, especially considering the event is happening right now, not to mention overseas, some spare details are very worthy of mention. The 3DS has also gotten a launch date and a preliminary launch "window" line up. Oh... and a price. Check out that stylus!

25000 Yen equates to roughly US $300! Let's not over react too quickly though. Things tend to be more expensive in some places, notably Japan.

When I was there in high school, CDs were about $30.

I'll be sure to post again when more comprehensive details are available for western territories, but until then, check out this long list of games!

    With any luck they'll throw that in as a bundle upon release.

    I wouldn't be surprised in the least if there wasn't a pack-in. Look at how successful the Wii is based on the fact that you get a game with the system straight away. The same thing goes for (MOST) Playstation Move retail options, and Kinect (with Kinect Adventures).

    That being said, I don't know if I'd rather a pack-in game or a lower initial cost for the hardware. :-/

    I would preorder a 3DS as soon as I possibly could if they bundle Ocarina of Time with it. However StarFox 64, Mario Kart or Paper Mario would be acceptable bundles too.
