Singapore Nintendo 3DS launch photo gallery

While not as loud or elaborate as the UK and USA's launch, the local launch of the Nintendo 3DS was at least homely in its own right. Gamers have been waiting patiently since the system's official debut at last year's Electronic Entertainment Expo. Distributor Maxsoft teamed up with electronics store Challenger to host the Nintendo 3DS launch event that was held at midnight on March 27.

Check out the photos below.
