3DS Hardware Leaked from Plant in China

I'm surprised this hasn't happened with other hardware devices being mass produced in china....

Of all the ways Nintendo wanted to start of 2011, having their highly-anticipated handheld leak out of a production plant in China wasn't likely one of them. The above photo was taken by an mysterious source out of China with access to an early version of the Nintendo 3DS. Clearly the photo wasn't taken on the production line, either, as the leaker had plenty of time to arrange Yoshi next to his shot. Oh, and there are six more shots of the device, many of which feature other Nintendo handhelds so you can see how the 3DS compares, size-wise.

In terms of leaks, it's a doozie. Not iPhone 4 leak big, given that we've already seen the 3DS and knew about what it was going to look like, but still, this is not how Nintendo wanted to debut the final look of the handheld. After all, the company has a 3DS event in just a couple weeks, where the final hardware and most of the launch games are likely to be playable.

Turns out it’s just a shell and doesn’t work. But since there’s already a 3DS thread, I’ll post this here: 3DS battery life to max out at 5 hours for 3DS games, 8 for DS games, charges in 3.5 hours.

I sort of want to hold off for the inevitable 3DS Lite now. They’ll figure out a way to get a denser battery in there.
