Link and other AR Games in Action, 3DS Sells Out in Japan

The video above shows off the some of the AR games featuring Nintendo’s most popular characters. Rather interesting and unless I am mistaken, these games and cards come free with the 3DS. What’s even more awesome than seeing these games in action is realizing that the initial shipment of the 3DS has sold out in Japan. Within mere hours of the system being available on Saturday, 400,000 units were sold out before we even got past the early hours of the morning. Nintendo promises a second shipment will hit today, and chances are that will be sold out the moment it’s unpacked. Expect similar things to happen next month when the 3DS hits stateside, as it will be very hard to get without a preorder. A few places are still taking them, so if you want a 3DS anytime in the next 4 months without scraping around store to store hoping to get there minutes after the shipments arrive, best get your preorder in now.
