Alright get ready to sell your kids, have your wife turn tricks, and take your husband's wallet because the 3DS has been officially set for March 27th at the price tag of $249.99. The system will come packed with a telescoping stylus, charger, and the system itself will be packed with software showing off the main selling features of the system.
The system will have it's own virtual console of Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. No mention of Game Boy Advance but I wouldn't be surprised if it were to be added down the road. There will also be software similar to Wii Ware and DSi Ware for the system. Online will once again feature friend codes but instead of each game requiring it's own code there will be one universal code for each person. So if your buddy bob gets a 3DS, enter his friend code and TADA! you can play him any time in any online game you both own.
