Nintendo Announces Metallic Red 3DS, Cobalt Blue And Misty Pink To Be Phased Out

Another Red? I wish for a Silver 3DS, Like the GBA SP one, to be released on NA.

My personal take is that in the end they will discontinue the original model and only make xl versions available.

I won't buy a 3DS until they make a clear plastic one

Actually, I myself prefer the silver DS Lite.

If I were rich I would buy every model. Sadly I'm not, so I'll just enjoy my white XL and my black original model

I'd like to have a lime green or a light blue one. Metallic Red - also good as Mario reference though.
Bought an Ice White for my fiancee several months ago - it's a stunning beauty.

Cobalt was one of the better looking colours IMO. The metallic red looks good enough, but lately I've been wanting something a little more discreet so that people on the train might think I'm just playing with a tablet or something.

It looks like pink. Although... My Flame Red 3DS is awesome already, so I'm good. ;3

Seriously? Phasing out BLUE? I really wanted one.

I'd like to see a transparent model, like they did with the GBC and N64.

I hope they phase out the basic version of the Wii U. because it's not much cheaper than the Deluxe version.

Did Japan not get the Flare Red or Flame Red, whatever it was called?

I want to know when do they plan on bringing more color options of the 3DS XL to the U.S! I mean we only have three colors to choose from, red, blue or pink! Still havent bought a 3DS for that reason, hopefully they bring grey or black versions of the handheld.

Cool to see Nintendo include a 4GB card instead of the 2GB iteration in their smaller 3DS systems.

i still dont get why they hvent hurried to release more colors for US on the XL version o.O

Title should read: "Nintendo Announces Metallic Red 3DS. Cobalt Blue And Misty Pink To Be Phased Out."

Putting the comma in the title makes it appear to the reader that all 3 colors are going to be phased out. By placing a period instead of a comma you separate the two.

Sigh. Japan is PHASING OUT better colors than we've even got here in the US. I'd love a cobalt one...

I have a flame red one and I like the color but in my oppinion the new red one is too bright for me

@Nintenjoe64 It's the only way to go! Though I myself would love to see the return of Kiwi Green. I'd buy both in a heartbeat.

I got the flame red so I'm good.

I like my Aqua Blue original and Red XL, so I'm fine with that.

I already have the red one, and I can't see much of a difference...this red only looks slightly brighter.

Quite personally I think they need a GREEN 3DS. That's the one 3DS color I really want to see. I originally wanted a green one but they never released it (yet they showcased it) so I got the red instead. If they release a green 3DS I would trade my red one for the green one in a heartbeat. I mean, c'mon, it is the Year of Luigi after all, they HAVE to release a green 3DS...

@Buduski I don't know if it's out in NA, but I recently bought a european black XL Monster Hunter bundle.

@b23cdq Sadly no that beautiful bundle is a Europe exclusive, as well as the Fire Emblem 3DS XL bundle
Thats my point, obviously japan gets a lot of exclusive content and I'm glad Europe is getting taken care of but where's the support for the NA Nintendo fans?

I live in Ontario Canada (Ottawa)...there are a few stores that are still carrying the 3ds xl pink edition....
