Nintendo launched into a new generation of handhelds on Saturday with the official release of the 3DS in its home nation of Japan. The launch this morning saw lineups more comparable to an iPhone launch. Yodobashi Camera, one of the best-known stores in Tokyo's Akihabara district, had about 600 people in line by the store opening and had completely sold out of its 2,000 3DS units by 9:30AM, less than an hour and a half after the first sales.
