Come June 19th, all DS consoles, including the newly released DSi XL will see a downward revision in prices in Japan.
This piece of news hits us as the video game industry braces itself for the upcoming E3 video game show this month where Nintendo is set to unveil their brand new handheld, a 3D version of the DS.
The last time Nintendo ventured into a 3D “portable” it was a Virtual Boy that only displayed 2 colors and gave users a headache after each session. I remember trying it out at the Singapore Discovery Centre back in the day.
With 3D the buzzword of the months past and to come, Nintendo’s effort to leap into new technology is actually something that they do not usually do, preferring to stick to the tried and tested modes of gaming.
My opinion is that if the 3D DS does not come with a toggle button, asprin makers will be rolling in the bucks as well.
