It looks like we'll be getting more 3DS launch details at the Nintendo World event in Tokyo on Saturday, and it also looks like a few of the details might have already been scooped. Japanese site Inside Games (via Andriasang) reports Nintendo will release around 10 games for the system's Japanese launch on February 26, and they'll be priced a little more than DS games.
Unfortunately, which 10 games wasn't revealed, but Inside Games says specifics will be announced at the Nintendo World event tomorrow (it'll most likely include many of the 15 games that'll be playable at the event, though). It also reports third parties have a "large number" of games ready to be spread out for release throughout February and March.
As for how much these games will cost, be prepared to spend a little more than you're used to with DS games, as was expected. 3DS titles will reportedly cost around 1,000-2,000 yen more in Japan, which converts to around $12-$24 more. There's no telling yet that's exactly what we can expect in the U.S., but this does seem to confirm 3DS games will cost more along the lines of PSP games than DS games.
Of course, that's if all of Inside Games' information is accurate. Andriasang notes it doesn't provide a source for any of this info, but says it's a "professional site" and doesn't have a history of making such things up. We'll all find out tomorrow.
