It was revealed at E3 that the Nintendo 3DS will be launched in March 2011, but Nintendo of America President, Reggie Fils-Aime has confirmed that the new handheld console will be released worldwide on March 31st, 2011.
The Regginator said:
"The reason we haven't announced a launch date or pricing is that, first, we wanted to get reaction here. Secondly, we'll be making individual market decisions in terms of what's happening in Japan, what's happening in the Americas, what's happening in Europe.”
"The one thing, for sure, is that we will launch in all of our major markets by March 31, 2011."

There still hasn’t been any word news of how much the 3DS will cost, but analyst suggest that it will cost between $200-$250.
UPDATE!
According to a UK retailer, Nintendo has decided to push back the release date of the 3DS. Apparently marketing campaigns will begin in early October followed by the release of the new console during the Christmas period next year.
The anonymous bloke from the retailer said:
"Early indications to us are that the launch is going to emulate Wii in December. We've been informed that Nintendo wanted a long run-up to Christmas, but now it's going to be a close-run thing. We're not expecting a lot of stock before next year."
