A release listing on Play.com suggests the 3DS could be out in Europe by November...

Since E3, the release window for Nintendo's next portable wonder has been a point of much speculation. With Nintendo executives giving no period for the 3DS less vague than March 2011 at the latest, the public has been left guessing whether we'll get the portable this year.

However, UK retailer Play.com recently updated its 3DS software release listing. Two Namco Bandai games - 3DS adaptations of the Dragon Ball and Gundam franchise - have been dated for November 19th 2010 and March 25th 2011, respectively.

If the dates are legit, it would mean Namco Bandai, and likely other publishers, now know something about the 3DS launch window that we don't, and ultimately points to the device being available in Europe by November.

Nintendo is remaining tight-lipped on the 3DS' release date. We'll keep you informed...
