So we’re in March, and it’s almost time for the 3DS to finally hit shelves, which means you’re probably wondering if you should preorder one, pick one up at launch, or wait a bit for a price drop or even a hardware revision.
Yes, it’s already happened. Despite Nintendo’s promise to crack down on the rampant piracy that crippled the DS’s software profitability, the 3DS was hacked within 24 hours of it’s Japanese release.
To the excitement of many gaming fans, the new Nintendo 3DS is backwards compatible, meaning it will be able to play any game from the Nintendo DS.
