Nintendo 3DS Game Release Schedule and Demo Events

Well, it's over for me, I guess. I surrendered to the allmighty gods of Nintendo and put a $50 deposit down on an aqua 3DS at Gamestop. Now, I can still cancel it, BUT I just pre-ordered some games too. So each day that goes by brings me closer to going through with buying it. Ok, let me just slap myself and then scream, "Shut up, idiot, you are buying it, stop acting like you aren't!". Ok, it's settled, I'm buying it. If you're still on the fence about the whole deal, there are now kiosks all over the country where you can try out the 3DS. Just go to the Nintendo link below and put in your zip code and it will come up with a location near you. Mine happen to be Best Buys, but I don't know if EVERY 3DS kiosk is in a Best Buy. I'll be able to pick up my 3DS at midnight next weekend, the official release date being 3/27.
