We're here in downtown New York City, waiting to hear the last remaining secrets on Nintendo's next handheld, the Nintendo 3DS. All the action starts at 9am EST, so keep checking back, as we'll be updating this blog nonstop throughout the presentation!
9:00AM EST
Reggie Fils-Aime, the president of Nintendo of America, takes the stage! Oh dear, the teleprompter appears to not be working, so he's blaming Michael Pachter instead.
Ah, we're up and running."This is going to be a big day for Nintendo.""The opening of a vast new world in 3-D entertainment."
Reggie is walking through the major Nintendo moments in modern gaming. Super Mario 64, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii, etc..."The next big step in the modern era of video games: The Nintendo 3DS."
9:08
"You adjust the 3D to meet your needs. One size doesn't have to fit all."Reggie detailing the"pay-offs"to 3-D.
"The first, obviously, is games.""We've always seen ourselves as a much larger entertainment industry."Reggie touting the games, videos and ability to take 3-D photos.
"Will drive connected experience like no Nintendo device before!"
Revealing price, launch date, launch games today.
3DS will come in two colors, blue and black, at launch.
9:12
Showing a reel of the 3DS and all of its tech details. SD memory card slot, slot for both DS and 3DS games.
Analog circle pad"opens up new worlds."Built in accelerometer and gyroscope. System packed with its own charging cradles.
New"home"button basically acts as a guide button, even while the game pauses in the background.
3D depth slider allows you to adjust 3D as much as you like.
So far, nothing terribly earth-shattering. Mostly stuff that was revealed at E3 last year.
