So, real or fake?

Rumor: 3DS Stolen From Chinese Factory

Quote:

A worker at a Chinese manufacturing facility claims to have smuggled out a production model of Nintendo's latest handheld. As proof, he offers these lovely photos.

There are no blurry, rushed shots here; instead, the guy has sat down with the console, switched it on, taken his time and given us a good look at the thing. There are even comparison shots showing the 3DS alongside other Nintendo handhelds.

It appears that the 3DS is on the useless side, since he can't even access a system menu let alone play anything, but hey, if it's real, it'll sure look nice on his mantelpiece for the next few months until the handheld's official release!

We've contacted Nintendo for comment/confirmation, and will update if we hear back.

Center keys look uncomfortable and I'm not sure of the analog stick.

Not sure why Nintendo would think this is a huge deal. They announced the 3DS a long time ago. It's not like leaking an Apple product where Apple doesn't like to reveal until release day.

It looks so nice. I want one so badly

When I first looked at the pictures I thought that was on a power off slider on the screen.. After looking at it for a second I thought I was wrong and it was the volume control; I guess my initial thought was correct. That power button always seemed in a dangerous spot so it makes sense.

That picture is not to scale at all.

If you mean the thing on the right-hand side of the screen, that's actually the 3D-effect control - you can dial between different levels of 3D and even back to 2D, for the top screen.

Well, I guess I still have a problem with the power button.

Strange, I thought that would have just on/off option.. Interesting.
