Official Nintendo Magazine says the 3DS will release March 11 in Europe and the USA.

Completely skeptical, since my copy just says "March 2011 (Europe and US)". I call Photoshop.

Unless two different versions have gone out, and I don't know how likely that is.

Well I was hoping it would be out before Feb. 28 (My birthday). I guess I know what I'm spending my birthday money on.

They've been wrong before about some things to get an early exclusive.

...maybe confused with March '11?

Just checked my own copy of the magazine, and it certainly DOES NOT say a day, it says "March 2011, Europe and US" Maybe a typo? It would also be VERY unlikely that ANYTHING videogame related would be released on a sunday in the UK.

Edit: Also, the printer scanned 11 for the day appear to be an EXACT copy, scan errors and all of the 11 from the "2011", which from the quality of that scan is very unlikely, and all of the 1's in that page look slightly different, (compare with the ones just above in the japanese date for example). Yeah, shopped.

hope they come out with a red one like it was shown at e3

Ya it is confirmed to be false.

DEBUNKED.
