Scenes of madness and 'Nintendo 3DS arrived today on the Japanese market and the typical scenario is repeated recurrences of major gaming hardware on the floor: in that of Akihabara, the mecca of Japanese gamer, there were the obligatory file outside shops. Some talk about sightings of 750 people lined up carefully on sidewalks, in some cases for 24 hours, waiting to get my hands on one of the (relatively few) units available at launch, which as expected proved to be less than the number necessary to satisfy all .
Among the games to launch with the console are on the shelves Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition, Samurai Warriors: Chronicles, Bust-a-Move Universe, Nintendogs + Cats, Ridge Racer 3D, Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs 3D and Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle. Nintendo expects to sell at least 4 million consoles by the end of March, but will not be easy to overtake its predecessor, this Nintendo DS which has recently arrived at an altitude of 145 million worldwide.
