More evidence that there will be a Midnight Purple 3DS

68 Comments

A rumor surfaced a few days ago that the Midnight Purple 3DS would be launching across North America on May 20th, and now a listing on the Sam’s Club website seems to indicate that this rumor might be true. The listing doesn’t have a specific date, but the fact that there are two listings in two completely different retailers seems to give this rumor some validity. We won’t know for sure until Nintendo makes an announcement.

(Thanks to Caleb for sending this in.)

    who has a 3ds and it over 13?

    • millsy

      Heaps of people.

    • Green Reuben

      I do, as do a lot of others.
      Who doesn’t have one and can’t spell? I suspect you,

    • SakuMo

      Have one (two if you count my husband’s) and am over 25. Your point?

    • John Doyle

      I am 20 and have a 3DS, my 22 year old bro has one, and so does my 18 year old brother. Your comment did not turn out the way you intended it to, did it? But hey, on the bright side you got to learn something new. =)

    • Sarah

      who’s a tard and is ignorant about gaming. Ahem “Mondy”

    • EnderBro11

      I guess you lost your bet against a friend who said 3DS is for children? I guess not :D

    • Buzzeh

      I have a 3ds and in 15, in my high school i usually find 8 people in streetpass

    • haha

      According to my 3DS, I am 111 years old, so I am older than all of you. Haha.

      Oh, that purple 3DS still looks gay.

    • person

      Everyone is over 13. People under 13 shouldn’t be on the internet.

    • ZimmerRemmiz

      I’m 19, my friend is 20, and my other friend is 22, we all have 3DS, also small children shouldn’t be on the Interwebs…

    • haha

      Kids can surf the web with their 3DS, you know that? No one can stop them!

    • adrian12369

      ima be 6 months next week and i play my 3ds every day!

    • Brandos12

    • KING Z

    • Big E

      @Mondy Please don’t post that in every article

    • Stampede

      He’s just trolling. Or maybe he’s for real about that info!

      srsly tho, my girl and I have the 3ds and we’re over 20.

    • MM-Royalninja

    • griingolink

      I’m 16 and have no shame in owning one, people tell me it’s a kids’ handheld, I just laugh and tell them to go f*ck themselves

    • HeroftheWinds

    • SleepyGuyy

    • san

      one friend 25
      and another 24

      …

    • san

      oh and one girl I know she ist 22

  • SakuMo

    Really hoping this rumor is true. My daughter would flip if she can get a purple 3DS for her birthday. C:

  • http://hybrilynx.net/ Hybrilynx

    sell my old 3ds, get a brand new one with an awesome color.

    • AceOfBlades247

      Umm… Don’t you want to do the system trade thing with your games

    • http://hybrilynx.net/ Hybrilynx

      i meantioned this before, no. i have hundreds in dsi/3dsware. if my 3ds breaks or gets lost, theres nothing i can do to get the games back. which is why for example, alota eshop games are overpriced.

    • SakuMo

      http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/3ds/en_na/data_transfer.jsp
      ^This disagrees with you, Hybrilynx. I don’t think you can pick and choose what gets transferred, but you CAN transfer eShop titles. To go even further, when I had to send in my 3DS for repairs, I was told everything would transfer from my old system should the whole system need to be replaced. So yeah, no. You’re wrong.

    • http://hybrilynx.net/ Hybrilynx

      im not sure if you were thinking i said something on one of my different posts, but i need both 3ds’ side by side to transfer. if one of them became intensely broken, like ran over by a car, nintendo most likely cant get any data from the 3ds. they have no idea what games i really had. if it was stolen, well we know what will happen.

      or if you think the other guy asked if it was possible, then yeah its possible. i just dont want to transfer the stuff. most of it is dsiware. dsiware isnt worth transferring data every time i want to play a single game.

  • Hylian17

    i hope this is true!, the only reason my friend didn’t buy a 3DS cause it’s not available in purple >_

  • Neil

    I want 1 Luigis Mansion green 3DS lol

    I have got 3 3SDS now, blue, red and white

    bur green is my favorite :D

    • 3dsisawesome!

      can i have one, (dont have one yet….) :(

      still saving up for one

  • Mega

    i want a blue 3ds :(
    pls nintendo i want it.

    • Brian

      they already have that…

    • SakuMo

      ^To be fair, the Aqua Blue is more tealish.

    • tob2007

      I have a sneaking suspicion he’s talking about the Cobalt Blue model.

    • CrimsonalCore

      @ tob2007

      My thought exactly.

  • 3dsisawesome!

    maybe he is talking about that dark blue color, not the agua

    • 3dsisawesome!

      wtf, i was trying to reply to the comment above, idk whats up with replying.

  • haha

    Kids can surf the web with their 3DS, you know that? No one can stop them.

    • haha

      The reply system is all screwed up. hehe.

  • piplupwater

    If this rumor is true I know a few people that would love it but I’m still hoping for the dark blue one that came out in Japan so I can sell my current one

  • adrian12369

    gay ass color…

    • KING Z

      Coming From The Guy With The Gay Photo….

    • adrian12369

      sheesh, im SO SORRY for stating my opinion on this “King”

    • adrian12369

      i meant to say “that is an EXTREMELY straight and manly color. once again sorry-i hope you forgive me

  • http://Insonywetrust SyntaxFTW

    the most shitty crappy garbage ugly bullshit piece of shit i ever seen.

    • KING Z

      Fuck Off

  • TheUltimateKoopa

    Just because 2 retails say it, it doesn’t make it any less rumoured.
    If I say there’s a yellow 3DS, that could be false.
    If my friend also said it, then there’s 2 different people saying it, so therefore it must be true.

  • Ty

    Cobalt Blue and Ice White please~!

    • adrian12369

      yeah those look really nice

  • caleb

    yeah thanks Caleb even this Caleb is thanking u

  • Jordan

    • AceOfBlades247

      @Jose

      I tought your name was N (North)?

    • AceOfBlades247

      And What happens to you in Pokemon Black 2 & White 2?

    • Big E

      He turns younger and names himself “Wally”.

  • Michael

    How about Ice White, NOA? Is it so much to ask that I want a 3DS that will match the Wii U?

  • AceOfBlades247

    If you where able to change your 3DS color and you want to what would it be?

    I have the Original Black one From the First day of the launch. For USA

    I would change mine to Ice White. Sounds Epic. Looks Epic. :3

    • adrian12369

      same here-cosmo black day one. and i’d probably change it to ice white too( but a lot of the other colors look really nice as well)

  • SleepyGuyy

    I would love it …… if it weren’t for DAMN WALUIGI!!!!!!
    I HATE THAT GUY!!!!
