It is indeed :)

As NintendoGamer correctly pointed out, it aint in the mag.

I get the subscribers edition, so unless it was in the retail release, then...



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

- Wasteland - The Mission.

At first I was happy, but then I realised that if it was not photoshopped I had missed the most important detail in the magazine




Well, it's going to be sometime during March - does it really matter if it's the 11th or the 20th? xD

Fake. Saw it a Joystiq and they proved it fake.

Yes, but it's been Photoshopped. In the OP, the scan of the article says 'March 11 2011', while in fact it's only 'March 2011'. Someone made up that it would lauch the 11th.

Still nice to find out it's definitely coming in March, though.

Fake, but at least it's coming in March.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

From experience ONM's 'release dates' are generally estimates if an actual date has not been detailed.

Most of the time they are pretty spot on, but not always.  For example, they quite famously put the release date for Fatal Frame IV as February 2009 in one of their previews for the game.  I also remember them putting down Summer 2010 for Tales of Graces.

They probably just did an informed guess for the 3DS' release date.  The Japanese release is in February and didn't someone from Nintendo say they wanted it released in all regions by the end of Q1 2011?  They probably made up the date using that info.




cant wait
