Nintendo embarks on four-city 3DS demo tour

No love for D.C.? Coooold hehe.

Nintendo is too good for Houston, 4th largest city in the freaking US!

Sorry, I still just can't get over the name 'Face Raiders'

Indy: 'There's a big snake in the plane, Jacques!'
Jacques: 'That's not a snake, Indy...'

Here's a picture of the "pod" in the Chicago Ogilvie Station:

The security guard told me no pictures so I couldn't get the 3DS's being shown on the screen, but I'll be there tomorrow morning to try to get more!

any reason why san fran get less hours than any other cities? what is nintendo that homophobic?

no corpus christi, TX? I don't blame em. This city sucks.

the press release states there will be 40 locations

"Screw you, southern US!" - Nintendo xoxo

Nothing in Seattle? :\
Jeez, as if being a Mariners fan wasn't a kick in the junk already. I can wait until later this month for the release though.

Any word on whether Nintendo is planning to meet demand/have enough 3DS handhelds for the North American market would be nice to know too. I'm going to be one of those unlucky souls waiting in line for the black one at a local department store(I refuse to wait in line at Gamestop for another console... sheer madness, I tell you).

Eh, I'll just have to wait and play it at a Best Buy demo station.

No tour for Thorntonville? Jesus f**kin Christ what do I pay my taxdollars for?

I'm contacting my dongressman.

This article neglected to mention that the demo pods (shown in the picture) are going to parachute to their destinations, after being dropped out of airplanes....made entirely of money.

believe i read the 3DS will be at PAX East so i should be straight even though i'm not right near one of those cities

Of course it makes sense that two of the visits are in the same state when there are only 4 stops.

out of all places in the fraking city they chose Grand Central Terminal?!?! any hope of me going is shattered. FUUUUUUUU- i'm so mad. >:-|

No Salt Lake City? How can you say NYC, Chicago, and LA without thinking SLC!?!?!?

Damn, where's the love Florida? You would think Nintendo would be going all out, trying to demo the 3DS to as many people as possible, and trying to convince parents that playing it won't make their kids eyes melt. Oh well, I still have this thing pre-ordered.

Yea I'm skipping class and heading to Grand Central tomorrow, gonna be a mad productive day.

I'll be in New York next week so I will definitely check this out! It will be my first time there, can anyone tell me generally where the Grand Central Terminal is in relation to Times Square?

I didn't even know this was going on, but here's a photo of the one in LA (it's actually in Santa Monica).

So I just came from the NYC pod at grand central station on Sunday. First off it wasn't even busy which shocked me. Ok straight to the juicy stuff the 3ds. First thought was wow!!!! Reason being because you hear alot about the system but no media to back it up cause it can't be shown with cameras. The 3d effect is awesome cause now your games have depth. You can see how far the road was in front of you in "asphalt 3d" the airplane flying all over the place in "pilotwings resort" and the best there "street fighter" with background in the back and characters in front of you. The sweet spot of the 3d was sooooo hyped up but you can adjust it to your liking but don't make any quick movements cause your eyes will unfocuss for a few seconds and readjust. The d-pad and analog pad felt good in their place. I already pre ordered it but just wanted to test it out and happy I did because nintendo is getting my $249 cause they sold me on a product that is changing the portable gaming world.

Anybody got any question about 3DS from my experience I'll be glad to answer.
