The Nintendo 3DS gaming handheld has launched today in the U.S. with some places having launch parties at midnight.
Nintendo is selling the console for $250 in Cosmos Black and Aqua Blue bundles that include a free charging dock and a 2GB SD card. Each 3DS comes with the games Face Raiders and AR Games pre-installed.
