It's out February 26th in Japan at a price of �25000 (~$300US). It will be out in the US and everywhere else sometime in March. Edit: For those turned off by the price, I hear Japan's Prime Minister recently intentionally weakened the Yen against the dollar to improve exports and sales in the west. For example, the 120GB PS3 Slim currently costs $350 in Japan, versus the $300 it costs in the US. What this means is that it's possible the 3DS will cost somewhere around $250 when it launches in the US. That's all just speculation though and we won't find out until March what it actually costs.
They've released a new trailer (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n10/conference2010/3ds/lineupMovHigh.html) for a 3DS, along with another one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPuYwxudQ8A) showing off Street Fighter. There's also uh, this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC2QznyN-Bw) trailer for some dating sim.
They've announced a few more new games like Megaman Legends 3, Puzzle Bobble as well as a second Resident Evil game (http://www.capcom-unity.com/jgonzo/blog/2010/09/28/resident_evil:_the_mercenaries_3d_announced_for_ni ntendo_3ds) which will feature Mercenary missions from RE4 and RE5 (with online co-op and competitive modes).
Gameboy and Gameboy Advance games will be available on the system as an equivalent to Wii's virtual console.
If you've bought any DSiWare games, you will be able to transfer them to the 3DS.
Really, go to just about any gaming news website (or this live blog (http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/09/29/nintendo_conf_live_blog/)) and you'll see all this stuff and whatever else they had at the Nintendo conference.
I'm pretty pumped about this. The new RE games and MGS3 look great.
