Looks like the
rumours were true.
Part of me is amused by this, part of me isn't that surprised... overall, though, even as someone who *hasn't* bought a 3DS (and someone who was probably going to get one at some point, after the Vita comes out and I can compare games), this has lowered my confidence in Nintendo to an all-time low.
I'm now thinking "fuck it", when it comes to the 3DS, and am looking at getting a DS Lite to replace my current original DS as I type this. I can't imagine how early adopters of the 3DS must feel.
