Rumor: Midnight Purple 3DS coming to North America in May?

112 Comments

There is a rumour that has appeared on gamefaqs.com that suggests a new colour for the 3DS may be launching on May 20th, alongside Mario Tennis Open. The colour is supposedly Midnight Purple, which we have seen in the past, but wait for confirmation before becoming too excited.

  • MegabusterLegends3

    Well, I’ll say this much. I have a friend who is hesitant to buy a 3DS until it comes out in purple. If this comes out, I’d say there is a 95% chance she’d buy it.

    • Hylian1Seven

      My friend too! :D

    • Belinni

      I am happy with the Aqua blue 3DS I have but this color… this is my color.

      For once I am jealous of people with the ability to buy a 3DS at any time.

    • Mario

      i think of me when i see it

  • Castle

    WOW!

    • Matt

      OH YEAH!! (am i the only one who thinks of kool-aid when they see purple? maybe they were the only ones who actually made something purple taste good as far as sugar goes, lol)

    • Cecil 64

      @Matt
      i think of Barney when i see purple :P

    • Omarsonic9

      @Cecil 64 BARNEY? OH NO THEN *grabs knife* Must kill barney,he must never touch the purple 3DS

  • cm93

    i gotta, it does have swag
    lol

  • DMT4030

    OMG OMG OMG Im going to buy this

  • Jess

    I hope this is just a rumor because I will want this and I already have two 3DSes. Although I lost my red one somewhere in my house and we have yet to find it. If this is true, I might get it so I can give the blue one to my son for him to play.

    Goddamn… I already have the black one… But this one… This one’s swag as hell!

    • Big E

      And how! I would trade my 3DS for this one (If I’m able to transfer all my data).

    • MM-Royalninja

      I dont know whats swag !but this 3DS even if its a girls color(not to much)It looks very cool!purple is a color of royalty you know!If my Aqua Blue 3DS breaks im getting this one!!!

    • SonicandMario

      @Big E you can transfer all of your data, if you google it you can see how.

    • Big E

      @SonicandMario I meant if the store I would trade it in to would let me transfer after purchasing the new system.

    • Omarsonic9

      Purple isnt a girl color
      Why Donatello in TMNT has purple ninja thing? [dont know what its named]

  • JOSHUA

    Looks good but i prefer my Black.

  • Randomish
  • haha

    Looks gay.

    People will laugh at you and your gayboy.

    • Christo

      Could not agree more!

    • MM-Royalninja

      Hey dude! Dont insult gay people or they will hate you!belive me!They will want to kill you!!! I my self dont like them but here they are like SUPER protected in this blog!!!

    • MM-Royalninja

      And I do agree that people might laugh at you for having one !But with a little custommisation It would look awsome!!!

    • Andrew

      I am less intelligent after reading all of these comments.

    • Walt

      I’m a a respectable straight man age 18-29…and I’m not ashamed to say purple is my favorite color. Buying this!

    • Belinni

      I’m a guy who has a personality of my own, not only can I think for myself but I can make my own choices without peer pressure as well. Are you this cool bro?

      Also I would sell half my 3DS games AND my blue 3DS for this one. Purple is the color of pimps y’know? If there is anything a girl likes around here where I live, it’s a guy who thinks he’s a pimp.

      … I don’t know where I was going there.

    • MM-Royalninja

      @Belinni Your right!!!It is a pimp’s color!!!But so is white

    • person

      And they’ll smack your as for being stupid.

    • haha

      Ok people….I’M GAY!!!!! HAPPY NOW?

    • haha

      ^^ That laughing person up there is not me.

  • http://hybrilynx.net/ Hybrilynx

    this might be the day i will sell my 3ds.

    • TheDarkHero

      Because you like the color?

    • http://hybrilynx.net/ Hybrilynx

      yes, and my 3ds is too expensive to let it break over age. i spent hundred in dsi/3ds ware. im probably going to sell it, then buy the good games back. plus, i have a ambassador 3ds. so i got the 20 nes/gba games with it.

    • Acronell

      @Hybrilynx – Don’t sell it right away, buy the new one and bite the bullet of the cost for the couple days, and do a System Transfer, you’ll be able to transfer all of your games, including the Ambassador Program, over to the new 3DS. Then sell your 3DS after you do it, you won’t lose any games that you bought/received.

    • http://hybrilynx.net/ Hybrilynx

      the point of selling it, is to get rid of the software games. if my 3ds breaks with the software, its over. no getting it back. and as far as i know, a 3ds system transfer is the whole 3ds, and you cant choose what to transfer and what not to like the dsi transfer. as far as i know. besides theres only a few games i would buy back anyway. it should only cost maybe $40 to get them. the overall software price is hundreds.

      plus my brother has a ambassador 3ds too. so its not like it matters to me for that part.

  • Izetta

    Hell yeah I getting this at release My old 3ds is almost broke and plus purple is my fav color so yeah getting this.

  • Andrew

    I never can find enough reason to spend $100 extra dollars on a new system simply for the color.

    But this is extremely tempting.

    If this were available at launch I would have bought it.

  • MM-Royalninja

    If I get some cool decals I might get this one and put them on!!!It would be cool if nintendo capcom etc make decals of icons and characters of their company for the 3DS!!!I think many people would buy them!!!

  • Joseph

    Purple 3DS… OMG allow my life. This is the one i wanted at launch.

  • SakuMo

    I was looking into getting a 3DS for my daughter, whose birthday is on May 21st. I was leaning toward the pink one, but if this is true, this is perfect, as she really prefers purple over pink. Fingers crossed this is true!

  • mah boi

    I wish they’d release all the colors at once.

  • dkd

    i think they should release cobalt blue first

  • Beat

    Why is it they never make a green color? X/

    • gordo97

      I would kill for a green 3ds with some sort of loz design

  • Han Solo

    I wish we would just get white instead… also, this is probably real, but the pic looks Photoshopped lol.

    • Big E

      This is photoshopped. The light signifying the power is purple.

    • Joseph

      Their is white.

    • Jess

      I’ve seen a listing for this on Sam’s Club website. And on mynintendo.com it says that someone saw a listing for it at gamestop. So it could be true.

  • LM

    The only way Nintendo should release a purple 3DS would be as a bundle with MM3D.

    Now, MM3D seems kinda far off…

    • TheDarkHero

      MM3…What?

    • revolution5268

      mm3d?

    • Belinni

      MM3D = Majora’s Mask: 3 Days~!

      What… it sorta fits right? Y’know cause of the moon and the time limit and the…

      Forget it.

    • gordo97

      @Belinni
      I think you’re on to something here… lol

    • Da Man Live

      Ok. Me want what he said! MM: 3D BUNDLE!!!

  • luis64

    NOOOOOOOOOOO!! My…color… :’(

  • mustbepbs

    Reminds me of the Gamecube. Indigo was the shit.

  • 3ds1111

    Question

    Is it weird if i actually get this color? I am boy btw. For some reason this color is really looking nice. Would it be weird? I dont usually take portables outside with me anyways. I mostly play gamesystems at home even if they are portable.Should i get this? Or wait for green. Maybe green can come with luigi’s mansion 2?

    • Belinni

      It’s not weird at all to get this color, if anyone thinks a dude having this color is weird they probably lack confidence and should probably talk to Ian Mckellen, A.K.A MAGNETO, the spokesman for the color purple.

    • MM-Royalninja

      If you like it its not bad!!!But wait for green!!!I want to have A color that no one has!!!And this might be my ticket!!!PEACE OUT!!!

    • the psvita is better

      thats the color of my gamecube and it is awesome
      so no, its not weird
      but you should wait for the green because green is the best color ever

  • AlCoCeR

    It looks kinda……. Waluigi…ish!!!

  • Carsten

    The colour is lovely, Mario Tennis is game I was waiting for – maybe I ll buy one then. just sold my PS Vita on eBay (with a great loss, btw…), never really used it, although Escape Plan was great.

  • anonymous

    YES

    YES

    I was always a bit butt hurt that the gorgeous purple model from the big reveal wasn’t available on launch.

      I am going to snap your neck. Idiot! But as I always say, let retards be retards. You can’t change. It’s like trying to teach a monkey to be a bird. Retards have to be retarded cause if they aren’t, they’ll be out of a job. They’d be homeless.
      (Yeah, I’m talking about you!)

      But I forgot. You ARE homeless.
      Twerp.

    • Sarah

      Quit feeding the trolls!! Sheesh!

  • Ahiam94

    I’m not much of a fan of purple, but the 3ds looks pretty awesome in purple, oddly enough. Maybe I can finally persuade my girlfriend into getting a 3ds now.

  • Super D.

    I am well excited for my Mario themed 3DS that I won to come in late may!!! The purple is pretty awesome too :)

  • Connor Russell

    I bet if Nintendo released all these colors on the release date, the sales would have been better.

    • MM-Royalninja

      Oh Yeah!!! I wouldnt buy the Aqua blue!!!But I would get the red or cobalt blue!!!And I bet People are still waiting for their favorite color!!!

    • the psvita is better

      i disagree, i think its better this way

  • Nathan

    If I could trade my black 3DS for this, I would be so ecstatic. Purple is my favorite color, and that looks amazing. Side note: I’m a guy, and I’m not gay, and I hate Justin Bieber. Also, FE for America sounds AWESOME.

    • gordo97

      Its ok, I don’t think justin bieber owns the rights to the color purple. Lol

    • Da Man Live

      What’s wrong with people thinking purple’s for girls or gay people?!

      Magneto?
      Batman in comic books (shades)?
      Hawkeye?
      Phantom?
      Galactus?
      Hulk’s shorts?
      Barney?!

      You want purple? Buy purple. Nuff said.

    Maybe I should accidentally drop my zelda 3ds under my car’s tire accidentally so I have an excuse to pick this up.

    • Captain N

      The Zelda 3Ds will be worth a lot more than this later on…I wouldn’t do that !! The Zelda one is a collectors edition.

    • SakuMo

      I would find where you live and murder you. Painfully.

      Lol, but no seriously, don’t do that. :|

  • mictono

    Honestly, why hasn’t the white one come to NA yet? Nintendo seriously….get on that.

    • Da Man Live

      I daw the white one and I live in Canada… Unless I watched the white one so many times online that I imagined myself seeing it in stores :\.

  • Ty

    Now we just need a lime green 3DS. Loved the crap out of my lime green GBA SP (was some Target limited edition thing).

  • Shockwave527

    Still waiting for orange, emerald, and lime…
