For readers who live in Japan, I have some good news: preorders for the system will begin at select retailers on the 6th of October. Even though these are “just” preorders though, and not the actual launch of the system, I’d suggest heading down to the store as early as possible. Back when I preordered the 3DS in Japan, there were huge lines and not everyone managed to secure a preorder.
