Sometimes I think these news articles are so people in North America can come in and rage that they are only getting the New XL ;)

these faceplates look best on the black new3ds. i'll probably go with the black version, but am still not sure.

I lost all interest in the New 3DS once Nintendo decide to tell North America "F*** you". I don't want the XL, it's too bulky to be portable and is overpriced. I want the regular one. Nintendo must not want my money because I am not gonna buy the XL (which also means I won't buy any games exclusive to the New 3DS).

Look what you did, Daan.

I am sure it will release later this year. Perhaps when the next big 3DS title comes out (Summer? Fall?). Who knows, we could see it release for Xenoblade 3D/X in a sort of cross over promotion for both games.


I am sure Nintendo knows they would be leaving money on the floor by not releasing it at some point. They probably want to clear out more of the regular 3DS stock. For sure in time for next holiday season we'll see it come out.
