Set for release on November 13th, is Nintendo’s long-awaited Super Mario 3D Land for the 3DS. This game “might best be described as a hybrid of New Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Galaxy; while you have freedom to move around in 3-D space, the levels are laid out in a linear fashion and you often view the action from the side.” Product page.

While some levels take a more non-linear approach and play with the camera angles, this happens gradually as you play through the game; clearly, Nintendo is trying to ease the casual players into the more complicated gameplay styles.
Believe it or not, the Nintendo 3DS costs just $100 in parts to build — not including labor, marketing, and R&D — according to iSuppli.

After months of waiting and dozens of fan-made concepts later, the Nintendo 3DS was officially revealed at the 2010 E3 Expo today. One attendee who got to experience this console says: “The hype is correct: 3D. No glasses. The images do not just fall back into the screen as some people thought. They come out at you. IN 3D! WITH NO GLASSES! It is absolutely surreal.” Video after the break. Click here for first picture in gallery.
