Nintendo 3DS Price Estimate

There have been few official report far and wide regarding the price. As per the media reports, it is believed to be in the range of $200 to $300, depending on the other models. The trend for sometime has been that Nintendo has been increasing the DS price with the other models which have been released. It will not come as a surprise if it is priced higher than the earlier models. However it is positive that Nintendo will offer the best deal in the form of 3DS when it comes to balancing the unique features and value for money, the price in short. In Japan the cost is estimated to be in the range of ¥25,000 for a portable 3DS. The portable is not believed to be a lot more than maximum $300. To give you an idea as to how all the guesses are revolving around this figure, let us take a look at what were the prices of Nintendo DS and DSI. Well, the Nintendo DS was priced at just $149.99, while the DS Lite was for $129.99. the Dsi XL was launched in USA at a price of $169.99.

Nintendo 3DS Price in other Regions

It is rumored that In UK, it is going to cost close to 160£. The price range is not set to go above £180 for most part. In the rest of the Europe the cost will depend on what the cost is in other regions. The Nintendo DS and DS Lite prices were roughly around 150 Euros. So we can guess how much the 3DS will cost. Considering that Nintendo has previously slashed the rates of earlier versions of the DS series, they might slash the price eventually.

Another important issue is the release date. While there is still an air of mystery about the price, the release date is almost as good as confirmed. The media reports splashed news in their technology and gaming section about a press conference on September 29, 2010. This was a historic press conference for Nintendo lovers as Nintendo declared the price and release date. The release date is February 26 in Japan. It is being said that in other regions it will perhaps take a month. All these aspects are similar to the hype around the Playstation 4 release date! Way to go Nintendo!

The Nintendo 3DS has still to be released. Whether the price does justice to its feature like a front-facing camera with an ability to take photos and then convert them into Mii or that the photographs can be edited into the Mii Studio, where even 2 photographs can be glued together, is still to be seen!
