Nintendo’s next stage of world domination begins in March

Nintendo finally announced a release date and a price for the Nintendo 3DS.

On March 27, Nintendo introduces portable entertainment in 3D – without the need for special glasses. The Nintendo 3DS system will be available in either Cosmo Black or Aqua Blue, and will have a suggested retail price of $249.99.

That’s $250 of ouch for us, and $250 of great for Nintendo. But considering all the buzz this thing has gotten — I know first-hand that it really works, and it looks great — Nintendo isn’t going to price itself out of players’ hands, Sony style. Instead, I predict they will continue to win videogaming. As I’ve said before, it’s Nintendo’s world. We just play in it.
