GAMING: 3DS Rumour Mill Continues...

I'm currently completing a work placement/internship/unpaid period of work at the Pocket Gamer website, so i'll put the stories I don't think are going to make the cut on there on here, including a recent rumour about the 3DS released date...

Please keep up with me on Twitter on https://twitter.com/EBTKS

If you add me i'll add you straight back. Cheers.

A German tabloid paper has claimed they know the release date and price for Nintendo's 3DS before it has even been officially announced.

Bild, the highest selling newspaper in Europe, has reported that the console will be released on November 11^th this year in Japan and early 2011 in Europe.

The paper goes on to price the handheld at €200 and has suggested that launch titles would include Mario Kart 3D, The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D and Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle.

With Nintendo expected to make the official announcement this Wednesday it will soon become clear whether this is simply Bild publishing rumours to boost sales, or actual honest investigative reporting.

Although the paper is the German equivalent of the Sun it did manage to predict the announcement of the Wii controller 2 days before it was announced back in 2005.

To add further confusion an ex employee of peripheral make Factory Keys recently claimed a November 20^th release for the 3DS in Japan. Who knows what to believe...i'm just looking forward for a concrete date to mark on my calendar.

EDIT- Turns out, Bild got it wrong. Silly, silly Bild...
