Photo #7 DID ANYONE notice the long sleeves? The following is from an interview with Wired.com.
Wired.com: There’s now an analog slide pad on the device. Is this additional control feature related to the 3-D graphics?
Konno: There is no direct relationship; it’s not that we created the slide pad because the system supports 3-D. But I have been developing console games for a very long time, and I think analog control is necessary. I want to have Mario Kart with analog control. Not only myself, but also Mr. Miyamoto was insisting that our next handheld have analog control.
Wired.com: You mentioned Tag Mode, which will let users exchange game data regardless of what game they’re currently playing. So if I want to trade Nintendogs with someone, it’ll be saved on the hardware, not the cartridge?
Konno: In the hardware, we have the capability that when you first play a game that supports Tag Mode, it will save to a Tag Mode data slot in the hardware system. We are planning to support multiple games at the same time: Mario Kart, Nintendogs, Animal Crossing, etc.
Wired.com: And so there must be a menu in the hardware where you can manage the data, delete the data for games you aren’t using anymore …
Konno: Yes, we’ll prepare a Tag Mode Viewer, where if you look at the viewer you’ll be able to see that, for example you were able to connect with 50 people in Nintendogs and got their data, or got 100 people in Animal Crossing.
Wired.com: When I start thinking about data storage, I start thinking about downloadable games. 3DS will have some sort of downloadable game library, a 3DSWare, right?
Konno: I can’t talk about specifics today, unfortunately, but like WiiWare and DSiWare there should be downloadable content for this platform.
Wired.com:There’s an accelerometer and gyroscope in the 3DS. Does that mean it pretty much does what the Wii MotionPlus does?
Konno:Yes, the same type of motion sensing is possible.
Wired.com: Is it possible to make the 3-D screen bigger, or would that hurt the 3-D effect?
Konno:We can make it larger.
Wired.com: In 2004, when the first DS was first shown at E3, we saw an exterior form factor that wasn’t final. Will the look of the 3DS be changed before its release?
Konno:You can take this as the final shape."

I assume Nintendo wouldn't throw a whole event just to announce the price and release date so I am pretty sure there will be more information included about the 3DS itself and the games. Also, the event has only confirmed that they will reveal the price and date for JAPAN and not anywhere else, so we don't know if there's going to be any other worldwide release dates and prices but it wouldn't be a stupid idea to assume so.
Either way the pricing revealed in Japan could still give us a much more accurate price if we compare pounds/dollars/euros to yen etc. It would at least clear up a lot of uncertainty of people saying the 3DS will be from £160 to £280.
I am excited for the event anyway. Hopefully we'll see the 3DS in 2010.

ILikePieAndAC - You have Animal Forest? Sweet! I got the + version, but since I can't play it I just read the instruction guide, and stare at the cool disc + memory card...
MS - I'm thinking that they'll just release the price + date for Japan there, and then update the website etc. right away for the rest of the countries.

MrSonix- Well, actually, I heard somewhere that Japan's 3DS will come out in October, so I think that 9/29 will say what the date and pricing is in America, and perhaps Europe. But that's just what I think.

I think the mods took over because it's one of the most important threads in the whole site, and they feel that they should be the ones to control it. But I think catlover was doing fine so far.

That's probably why. I agree with that statement, too.
The Staff decided that official sticky thread should be made by staff members, it's just more practical that way. Let's move on and stick to the topic now, shall we?
