The price and the launch date of the Nintendo 3DS has been confirmed.
The 3DS will launch February 25, 2010. It will be coming in at about $300 (or 25,000 Yen). Included with the 3DS is: a charger, a 2 GB memory card, and essentials like instructions and a warranty.
The 3DS plans to launch with some of these titles (could change):
-Animal Crossing
-Battle of Giants: Dinosaur Strike
-DEAD OR ALIVE 3D
-DJ Hero 3D
-HIDEO KOJIMA'S METAL GEAR SOLID SNAKE EATER 3D
-Kid Icarus: Uprising
-Mario Kart
-Nintendogs + cats
-Paper Mario
-PilotWings Resort
-RESIDENT EVIL REVELATIONS
-SAMURAI WARRIORS 3D
-StarFox 64 3D
-Steel Diver
-The Sims 3
With time, more titles could be added to the list of launch games.
The 3DS will obviously have 3D ability, and there will be controls to regulate the effects. No glasses are needed. Other features include backwards compatibility with old Nintendo DS games, and you can transfer downloaded content from a DSI.
There has been some comments going around that the Nintendo 3DS is "too expensive". With the great 3D features that the Nintendo 3DS will offer, I think the price might just be worth it. However, we will have to see how it compares with other 3D systems for the same price, like the PS3. There is no way in telling how this will compare with other systems until the 3DS launch in February.

Claims have recently been made that PSP2 hardware is possessed by several developers.
The PSP has been around for almost six years since its launch in Japan on December 12, 2004. Worldwide the PSP has sold over 60 million units. For a while now, people have wanted to see or hear about an upcoming PSP2. Not a new model, but a completely new unit. There have been claims from developers like NetherRealm Studios that they actually possess PSP2 hardware. There is no way to tell when a PSP2 will come out, however. It's great to know that Sony is listening to their buyers as they have begged for a PSP2 for almost 2 years now.
No software or hardware has been revealed. We can only listen to rumors and decide if we want to believe them. A popular rumor mentions that the PSP2 will have touch-sensitive buttons. Others think the PSP2 will have phone qualities like texting or even calling ability. None of the information has been confirmed.
So, for right now, don't get too hyped up about a PSP2 from rumors. Gamers should expect some confirmed information, from Sony, soon. However, this might take a couple of months.
