Today in Amsterdam, Nintendo is launching their 3DS for Europe. We are reporting as the event is happening.
The 3DS will have SpotPass. A system that allows the 3DS to catch content while walking by Wi-Fi hotspots. Nintendo has agreements with several hotspot providers around europe for such content. The first partner announced it Eurosport.
A similar system is StreetPass where 3DS machines trade information between each other. The Mii avatars have an important role here. Capcom is incorporating StreetPass in their Super Streetfighter IV 3D.
Content is important for the 3DS as well as a broad audience. Nintendo remains focused at games for the whole family.
Ubisoft announced it will have 8 games ready at launch. Amongst those is Asphalt 3D from Gameloft.
Konami will bring PES to the 3DS.
US launch on March 27th with 30+ games ready and cost $249,99
There will be a new friendcodes system to make multiplayer games more easy.
After five silent years, Team Ninja will be releasing a new Dead or Alive game, specially for the 3DS.
The 3DS comes with a number of apps like the Wiimaker that generates a Mii based on a camera photo. There will be an eshop and browser. The eShop should be an improvement on the old shop on the DSi.
There will be augmented reality games as well.
The launch in Europe will be on March 25th. Consumer price unknown.
Press samples go out in Februari to make sure there is enough PR by the launch of the product. There are 1.100 journalists at the event.
