Nintendo offering hands-on sneak peek of 3DS in San Francisco

If you are a bored gamer in the San Francisco area that really need something to do on a Friday you can thank me later. Nintendo has announce that it is having a special sneak peek of the 3DS for gamers in the San Francisco area that starts today and runs through April 3.

The special sneak peek of the 3DS is happening Monday through Sunday from 11am until 7pm. All you have to do to get your 3DS on is head down to Pier 39 and look for the Nintendo 3DS Demo Pod. If you aren't in the San Francisco area you will need to wait until the 27 when the 3DS launches.

At the hands on event, visitors will get to play some games on the device and create their own custom Mii characters using the Mii Maker built into the 3DS. Once those Miis are created, the builder can share them on Facebook and via email. The games available to try at the demo include nintendogs + cats, Pilotwings Resort and Steel Diver.
