The lights are on
Nintendo continues its support of the larger 3DS variant that is the Nintendo 3DS XL. A new color comes out with the release of Mario & Luigi: Dream Team.
The black 3DS XL comes out on August 11, and will join the previously released colors of blue, red, and pink.
The 3DS XL currently retails for $199.
For the latest trailer for Dream Team, check out this preview.
Our TakeReleasing new colors is standard practice for Nintendo, but this clearly points to growth for the offshoot 3DS line. According to Nintendo's figures, shipments of the 3DS XL have increased from late last year to this spring.

I've been planning on getting a 3DS, but if they ever announce an Advance Wars game for it I'll have to buy it. origin-www.gameinformer.com/.../advance-wars-days-of-ruin-review-war-advance-wars-that-is-has-changed.aspx
Wow. My life will forever be changed by the new color of the 3ds. Not the new model or anything, just a new color.
I wish they'd bring the Pokemon X/Y 3DS to US. :(
Yay! Finally they're releasing more colors. The only gripe I have with it is that it looks matte instead of the gloss on the 3DS version.
Black cards, Black cars, Black on Black, Black broads. Whole lotta money in a black bag. Black strap (you know what that's for).
Looks better in black.
*waiting for any limited-edition black 3DS XL* XD
Will it release WITH Dream Team in the package?
I'm thinking about getting an XL model. I had a 3DS launch model, but...well, I ended up giving it to a kid who really wanted one (don't worry, it was a family member...not some random kid. I ain't that nice :P). But at the same time, I've been really liking the Vita quite a lot (it's a godsend for when I'm on the go, and downloaded games means less stuff I have to carry, i.e., lose :P). Still on the fence if I want to get another one (yeah, Vita has no games...blah blah blah. I hardly play a handheld as it is, so the Vita's library is good enough for me lol).
I don't know why I ever get anything new with game systems ever anymore! Right when I buy it, they release an even bigger one... :/ thanks !! Just my luck
It's about damn time. Although way too litte, way too late.
need a black one
Picking up a blue one later today, I am sorry, this black model looks fantastic, but I cannot wait to get one!!
