3DS shown at E3 the “final shape”
In an interview with Wired, Hideki Konno of Nintendo confirmed that the design of the 3DS that was shown at E3 last month will more than likely be the same design as you’ll pick up in shops in the future.
In the interview Chris Kohler posed the question “In 2004, when the first DS was first shown at E3, we saw an exterior form factor that wasn’t final. Will the look of the 3DS be changed before its release?” to which Konno responded saying “you can take this as the final shape.”
