Nintendo's latest handheld, the Nintendo 3DS, has just launched in Japan. NWR Japan Correspondents were out on launch day and were fortunate enough to find a few units. Check out the pictures below to see the unboxing of an Aqua Blue Nintendo 3DS, which will give you a chance to get an eyes-on with the unit itself, the AR cards, docking station, a new 3DS game case and more!
Here's the front of the box.
And here's the back.

By the way, what's the deal with the little tab on the 3DS cartridge? Is that simply trying to physically distinguish it from the DS cartridge?

I think, I'm being too harsh, though. Some people just don't understand gaming. There are going to be people out there that will probably do this with 3DS carts. I just hope I'm not around when it happens!!

I heard on 8-4 Play that they tried Mario 64DS with the slide pad and it actually worked. Can you confirm this at all?

Yes. BTW, now it's called the Circle Pad (although I prefer Slide Pad, the original name).

Yep. More than likely what TJ said. I could see someone trying to force a 3DS cart into a regular DS regardless. Hell, a few months ago at a used electronics store, I witnessed first a kid trying to cram an N64 cart into a Super Famicom. Him being a kid, whatever. What really got me was when one of the parents attempted to help the kid by trying to REALLY force it in there. Needless to say, it didn't go in.
i wonder what that kids going to be like when he has a girlfriend.

Dad: You know what son, you don't take NO for an answer.
Son: but she didn't say no dad....
Dad: Then just jam it in there son, make it fit
Son: I already tried that dad, it just wouldn't go in.
Dad: Move aside son, let me show you how it's done...
