If German newspaper Bild is to be believed (it may be the biggest selling paper in Europe, but we%26rsquo;re the highly suspicious types) Nintendo%26rsquo;s box of 3D trickery will be released in Japan in early November and will %26ldquo;probably%26rdquo; be out in Europe next spring.
It%26rsquo;s all just speculation, of course. Although Bild has a habit of being right on this sort of stuff. Previously in 2005, the paper broke the news of the Wiimote two days before it was officially announced. Either way,Nintendo will reveal the launch date and pricing details in two days time, anyhoo. So we%26rsquo;ll soon know if the paper is spouting shit or not.
