CHIBA, Japan, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Japan's Nintendo Co Ltd said on Wednesday it would launch a 3D-capable version of its DS handheld game console in Japan on Feb. 26 and in the United States in March, missing the crucial year-end shopping season.
The new DS, which can be used to play 3D games and watch films in 3D without special glasses, will cost 25,000 yen ($298) in Japan, the company said. Nintendo did not reveal the price for the U.S. (Reporting by Isabel Reynolds; Editing by Chris Gallagher)
