Got my 3DS a day early!

[L___E___T]

Thinking about what RegalSin just said, I thought StreetFighter 3D was a bit like that.  I play with an arcade stick on console, but still felt like a new game on 3DS using the buttons and control scheme.  Yes it's an inferior port, but the figurine mode was cool and the 3D was good for a while.

I'm not buying a 3DS yet as I want to wait for the Nintendo games, but I may hang on for a special edition machine too.  If they nail Gameboy emulation in 3D, then I'm getting one for sure.

The big firmware update bringing with it the e-shop and a browser will hit Japan on June 7 and NA on the afternoon of June 6.

I gave Joystiq and Kotaku a tip. Joystiq said "Thanks Manuel" and Kotaku not.  
I think I'll prefer Joystiq in the future, too...

OH NOES! Another delay!
What about EUROPE? September???

I'm pretty sure also Europe will get it on the same day.
June 7 can't come fast enough!

Edit: Same time in Europe!

This is being called a delay, but Nintendo have always given the time frame of late May - early June.

For me it's a 3 month delay, though. I wanted the e-shop at launch.

So is Dead or Alive out on 3DS yet?

Actually, what all has come out in the last month?

I have purchased a "metal aluminium hard cover" for my 3DS from eBay and it came with a hilarious paper insert :

guaranteed to keep your 3DS scratched and dirty as ever!  
BTW haven't tried it on yet, but I have a silcone one that is quite good.

Is SE cooking up anything interesting?
A Secret of Mana remake would be awesome.
