Did the Nintendo 3DS release date just leak?

This weekend, an alleged affiliate of Japanese peripheral manufacturer Keys Factory posted a very juicy tweet which instructed followers to check out the company’s line of 11 3DS accessories, due to launch simultaneously with the system on November 20th. Was it really an unintentional slip? You’d think that anyone would know not to post sensitive, potentially NDA-covered information in a public place, no matter how small and low-trafficked it may seem.

Seems kinda soon but smart because its near the Holidays.

Trroy5744d ago (Edited 5744d ago )

They would have announced the date already. A lot of the launch games aren't even ready to go, or at least they have never been shown to the press -- launching on Nov 20 might be a disaster.

Trroy5744d ago (Edited 5744d ago )

I pay attention to tradeshow news? Besides some half-baked demos which were cool, but nowhere near done, and a brief glimpse of some remakes and Icarus, what is there so far?

Nov. 20 is mighty close. These games would practically have to be in production already (meaning at the factory that makes the carts), and the press has never been given a serious preview of *any* of them -- merely brief demos.

If it launches on Nov 20, it'll be without 3DS-specific games, which seems like a bad idea, to me.

butterfinger5744d ago

definitely would not have to be in production right now. Not to mention, who's to say they aren't? Nintendo would be smart to release the 3DS this holiday season, because they are going to have a hard time going up against Microsoft and Sony with the home consoles. A 3DS launch in time for Christmas would be huge for them.

Baka-akaB5744d ago (Edited 5744d ago )

More like next november ...

No way they'd launch a console with so little hype and advertisement around it (even if the 3ds so far gathered lots of "wow")

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi90d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure90d ago (Edited 90d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer91d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot91d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box90d ago (Edited 90d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno91d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay91d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno89d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK89d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
