European New Nintendo 3DS owners may not have access to all of the cover plates that are enjoyed in Japan - known as Kisekae in the country - but attractive new variations do occasionally arrive. Some new plates featuring Yoshi are on the way soon, however, and they look like welcome additions.
As you can see in the tweet below these are due to arrive throughout Europe on 27th November.
Yoshi's various iterations look pretty cheerful here, probably because Mario isn't riding them and contemplating their future sacrifice.
Are any of you New 3DS owners tempted to add these cover plates to your collection?

These look irresistable, you've gotta love Yoshi.
Some real nice cover plates are coming out, just in time for the holiday season.
"Yoshi's so much happier when Mario isn't riding him to his doom"
First the love story, now this.
now i just wish they'd release some new cover plates in NA. I hate that I have to pay extra just to be able to order the ones I want from Japan. I'd love those cover plates.
Those are cute cover plates!
I hope that Nintendo plans on releasing more units of the original New 3DS here in North America soon. I'm going to want to upgrade from my original 3DS sooner or later.
Not a fan of Yoshi. I'm still waiting for my Metroid N3DS XL to be announced. But Samus coverplate would also be nice.
Already got these pre ordered. These are mandatory for me! <3
I cant stop buying these things
I finally found another face plate I want. I love Yoshi!
@TheWPCTraveler Wouldn't you be happier too? XD
Shame I can never find new cover plates anywhere... all two of the shops that sell them here (GAME and Toys 'R' Us) only ever have the launch ones and they're always sold out online...
@kamifox1 sadly we don't get a huge selection of faceplates like other countries do... it sucks .. I hate the fact that NOA is doing next to nothing to get these types of face plates available for America
@simonthomas6 America has GAME? o_o
@kamifox1 No He means that no retail store has faceplates available for sale in the US. We have to buy ours either from Amazon sellers, eBay, or NOA's online store which are only an EXTREMELY limited selection.
@kamifox1 Also usually a few dollars over MSRP as well.
@GunplaGamer Ah, well, in fairness, you guys only just got the standard New 3DS whereas we've had it since launch yet we still have the issue I already mentioned... What's worse is the launch selection's not very good either, unless you like Mario and/or really plain, dull patterns... Only good one out of the launch ones is the OR/AS one and I don't even see that in stores anymore, I need to replace mine.
Yeah, really online is the only way it seems to get good faceplates.
@GunplaGamer yup the NOA online store for faceplates has a atrociously bad selection. If I lived in the U.K I would so order that awesome shulk new 3ds bundle.....with the amiibo ..and ....those cool...faceplates......NOA I hate you.
@simonthomas6 Yeah, good luck with that... Bloody scalpers... As I already said, the good ones are never in stock online...
I do like Yoshi, but not really feeling these plates. I don't know, maybe I'll get them if I can find them at a reasonable price. Just finished Yoshi's New Island. Much better than I expected given the reviews. Finishing a level isn't hard, but collecting all stars, coins and flowers adds a lot more depth and the bonus levels, especially worlds 4,5 and 6, are really quite difficult. Lost about 500 lives on the bonus levels.
So... darn... adorable!
So many nice cover plates. Can't wait till I finally get myself a new 3DS so I can collect a bunch of plates xD
@Pokefanmum82 NoA sells 10 cover plates on their online store last I checked, I got 2 of them from there for my bday, only 1 out of the 10 plates they sell are AC themed....
NWS also has the 10 plates btw.
EDIT: ANNNNDDDD I just checked 4/10 plates are now gone form online including 2 of the ones I got for my bday wow...
you can get 6 of them at least.
@Uberchu I've got six preordered through Play Asia. I live in Canada so the NWS is out for me. And I don't like any of the ones that the online store has on their website. The only problem with ordering through Play Asia is that they are a little on the expensive side, like $25.88 a plate.
@kamifox1 Actually did see some good ones on ebay. Honestly I think that NOA is barely even trying to get more faceplates for america...their online store is horrible.... wanna see how bad it is ..well take a look

@simonthomas6 Well yeah, 'cause that's where they all go, at inflated prices. That's what a scalper is...
@kamifox1 yea I know and to be honest I was expecting some of them to be higher than they actually are on ebay . But yeah im guessing getting good faceplates in the U.K (at a retailer) are difficult to get such as certain amiibos are these days....unless Nintendo U.K was smart and actually released good amounts each release.
