IndustryGamers reports Nintendo is still tweaking the design of the 3DS handheld console, and that a worldwide launch is guaranteed by March 31, 2011.
In a lengthy sit-down interview to be published soon on IndustryGamers, Nintendo of America boss Reggie Fils-Aime acknowledged that Nintendo was seeking feedback from attendees and may still tweak the design of the 3DS.

"You know typically, at an E3, our engineers are looking for feedback. You know, we have an army of Nintendo representatives out on our show floor talking to attendees, getting reactions to everything in the device: the depth slider, the buttons, the sliding pad that is, essentially, an analog-type stick. These are things that we’re looking to get reaction to, including the overall button placement. When we get all that feedback, then we’ll finalize the design," he told us.
