Nintendo 3DS dated for March in New Zealand

You may have seen around the internet today that Nintendo has fully unveiled its new 3DS handheld at various events around the globe.

Nintendo Australia has just dropped us a line to say that the device will arrive in Australia and New Zealand in March 2011.

A quick check of EB Games’ New Zealand site pinpoints March 31st, though that might be nailed down further in a few weeks’ time.

“Nintendo 3DS will be shown to media for the first time in Australia at an exclusive event to be held in Sydney on the evening of Tuesday 8 February, where further details will be announced for its Australian and New Zealand release,” Nintendo confirms.

Here’s Nintendo of America boss, Reggie Fils-Aime, showing off the 3DS on US TV.
