Shipment to arrive 24 hours after US launch timing; official price S$399 ($315).

Update:The 3DS that will be selling in Singapore is the U.S set.

The 3DS may already be out in Japan, but gamers in Asia are still in the dark about when the handheld will be arriving in the region. Until now, that is, with a recent press release from Singaporean distributors MaxSoft confirming that the handheld will be available at all retailers in Singapore on March 28.

Gamers can attend a midnight launch of the device on March 27 at the Challenger store in Funan Digital Life Mall in Singapore. Update: The first 200 customers will get to purchase a copy of either Nintendogs + Cats or Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition for S$39.90 ($31.56).

The 3DS arrives on March 28 for S$399

The unit will cost S$399 and will come with a Hori screen protector. The bundle will contain the console, a charging cradle and AC adapter, AR cards, a 2GB SD memory card, and a stylus. Gamers will get a choice between a Cosmo Black 3DS or Aqua Blue 3DS. The games that will be available in Singapore at launch are Steel Diver, Pilotwings Resort, all three versions of Nintendogs + Cats, Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition, Rayman 3D, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars, Asphalt 3D: Nitro Racing, Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs 3D, The Sims 3, LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, Samurai Warriors Chronicles, and Madden NFL Football.

I can afford only one game from the line-up. Which one makes the best usage of the 3D feature?

blue_francis14

A bit expensive isn't?

Maxsoft can go to hell. I'd rather import the 3DS then to support them. They have terrible service. Plus, they only provide like 3 mths of warranty. On top of that, they are marking up the price way too much. SGD$399 is equivalent to US$320!! I'd rather buy from ebay it might be cheaper

Valentino_Pasca

what about its region?

NGP pwns, but the AR cards make this system worthwhile.

hippiesanta

hmmm,,, would the singapore/english speaking asia will recieve US or Japanese region??

sony fanboys expects that NGP will cost less than or equal the 3DS.. BIG LOL. IMPOSSIBLE. Its NEXT GEN, people.. It will cost like 400

Will 3DS also be released at March 28 in the Philippines or is it in Singapore only? And if it's Singapore only, when do you think will it arrive in the Philippines?
