An employee from the peripheral manufacturer, KeysFactory, has claimed that the Nintendo 3DS might hit the streets on November 11, via his twitter account. Takahiro Amano, tweeted the following information, which was then picked up and translated courtesy of Kotaku:

“On November 20, eleven 3DS products that we designed will go on sale all at once. People who are buying the 3DS, buy it at the same time! There will be more details on our home page.”

Nintendo has stated that it will announce the official release date and price on September 29. No word on when we can expect the 3DS in America, as Nintendo’s American branch has simply claimed early 2011.

The Nintendo 3DS was originally announced in March, and was then showed off at E3, where we had the chance to see it in action. Ever since, speculation on the price and release has been rampant.

The man responsible for the tweet has since deleted his post, and the company has denied that it knows the exact release date. We will have to wait until the 29th to know who is telling the truth.

A Ninendo Alarmo sits on a night stand.

This week, Nintendo shocked the world with its latest hardware announcement. No, it wasn't the Switch 2; it was an alarm clock.

Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo is perhaps the wackiest product Nintendo has put out in years. It's a $100 motion-sensing clock that wakes fans up with scenes from different Nintendo games, from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to Ring Fit Adventure. We here at Digital Trends were curious to see more as soon as it was announced, and we didn't have to wait long. Nintendo quickly sent over an Alarmo to Digital Trends for testing purposes, which has given us a much closer look at the device.

If you want immersive gaming via a wired connection, spatial surround, low-latency audio, and a snug fit, these headphones are right for you. Normally $100, they're on sale today for just $48. It's only a limited-time deal, though, which means it could go away at any time. Don't wait.

 
Why shop this Sony INZONE H3 gaming headphones deal for Prime Big Deal Days?
We've covered Sony's INZONE gaming headsets before, as well as the Sony INZONE gaming earbuds and one thing we've certainly taken away from these products is they are standouts in their class. You get to experience immersive 360-degree spatial sound while playing. You benefit from crystal-clear communication thanks to the headset with a flip-to-mute mic. Plus, there's virtually no latency, if at all, thanks to the 3.5mm wired connection.

Green Day is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its seminal punk album Dookie by re-releasing tracks, although not in the way you'd think.

Since this is the Digital Trends gaming section, we're going to talk about how they put Welcome to Paradise on a Game Boy cartridge.
