New Color for 3DS XL?

[T]

Has anyone heard any news about a new color for the 3DS XL

I really want one but i hate the 3 color choices. I will
buy one when they introduce a more adult looking version

any news?

[JSoup]

Is there a pink one yet? I normally try to get the pink colored systems when I can.

I wasn't aware Red and Blue weren't 'adult' color schemes.

Ok, not to insult anyone who likes the red or blue ones
but,

I think they look more like toys than say a black one would

i am hoping for black, white, or brown

The only thing I don't like about the 3DS is the multicolored stuff. The red and black and blue and black are alright. They contrast each other better than other colors would, but I'd rather have solid blue, solid red, solid black, etc. I'll get an XL and sell my 3DS when either Cosmo Black comes out in the west and/or there's a good enough sale.

I liked the metalic look of the original smaller 3ds systems. I dont care so much for the almost matt finish on the xl's but I dont find it to be an eyesore or anything. As far as other colors go black would be great ig they used a finish that wasnt a finger print magnet and had a nice high gloss look to it. It would also be cool if it had a red or blue led light band around the whole thing that would glow when it was charging.

Does something like that even exist?

[rlemmon]

Im not sure if it does but if not it's time for nintendo to make it happen.

As a 30 year old gamer with a blue one who plays it in public. Some one sounds insecure

[JSoup]

Actually, I'd forego the pink one if there is a Famicom fashioned one.

New colors are easy to come by. bought a 3DSXL during the bestbuy sale and wasn't a huge fan of the blue so I bought these instead.



You can find the cases all over ebay and they are pretty cheap at around 10-15 bucks a pop, they aren't glossy so they don't leave fingerprints easy but have a cool metallic finish since their really just painted pieces of aluminum. The ones that I have are molded well so they fit snugly but have a coated felt underside so they metal doesn't scratch the 3DSXL's surfaces. They don't really add any weight or thickness to the system while protecting everything but the hinged area from scratches and dings from general use, they come in a ton of colors too if you look around.

I bought the red 3DS XL and dropped it on the asphalt so it scratched some of the red on the top and it looked like shit so I made my own custom one



It looks alot better then it did leaving it all scratched up.

You put the decal on upside down.

It's upside down

It's upside down

Not when it's closed, if so then Nintendo put it upside down on the limited Zelda 3DS.

Nintendo put it on upside down as well. Thing looks stupid when opened

How often are you seeing the back of it when you have it open?

When its open other people have to look at it.

[Leo_A]

I'd much rather have it looking nice for me. And that's when the system is closed and there's no debate that the top of it is the top.

[JSoup]

When its open other people have to look at it.

Because, you know, other peoples opinions should factor into your choice of handheld aesthetics.
