Nintendo in Taiwan and Hong Kong have announced two new colors for the 3DS, including Cerulean Blue and Shimmer Pink. They will both be available on the 28th of September.

    to be honest if someone didnt tell me those were new colors, i wouldnt have noticed.

    • http://www.youtube.com/user/0NPC Edrick

      I feel the same way. They look a lot brighter, though!

  • Ultimate robot441

    I’ll stick with my Cosmo Black 3DS.

    • Mickey

      same black is da best cus if it gets scratches or smudges its harder to tell and it looks sleeker

    • NinjaFart

      Plus most skins look better with black behind.

  • owgawd

    eeehh? new?? i didn’t noticed …

  • http://www.hotmail.com Gabriel

    I love blue, and Cerulean is my new favorite, but I have a Cosmo Black.

  • Co-Wink-Key-Dink inc.

    Gee, a dark blue with aqua blue, now a dark blue with CERULEAN BLUE?!

    • NinjaFart

      My thoughts exactly, why do we need 3 VERY similar blue variations? Why not red variations?
      (-.(-.(-.-).-).-) ASIAN MAFIA IS WATCHING

  • Pedzz

    They wont release out of Japan im almost sure of that, they are nice colors but there is already a blue and a pink not to mention the dark blue in japan -_-

    • Carlinhos

      Taiwan and Hong Kong are in China XD.

    • Carlinhos

      ^Well, correcting myself, Taiwan was Chinese territory. Not anymore…

    • Silent Steve

      Technically Taiwan has never been a Chinese territory, but was one of Japan during World War 2. The Taiwan connection to China, is the democratic party that proceeded the current one in part in China, was pushed to Taiwan.

      Also, poor HK.

  • Ness

    What fucking false advertising. These “new” colors are only available in one country, not worldwide as the title suggests, and they’re not even that NEW to begin with – just brighter blue and pink. Goddamn David. I know you’re desperate for site views, but this is too much. Screw you, man. SCREW JESUS H. CHRIST!

    • 8ofclubs

    • Drew

      sean that was genius

    • Jdkipfer

      I thought it was fairly obvious it was not worldwide. They do this frequently enough.

    • asapisaiah

      Wait, this article was by Mohammed…

  • jdub

    • Sam

    • Ricardo

      Or a Luigi one.

    • 8ofclubs

      A green one has already been confirmed a while ago and i think its a bundle in with dark moon

    • aguy

  • Sam

    CERULEAN!!! LIKE IN POKEMON!!!

    • kelvin

      well the kanto cities are named after colors

    • Captain Falcon

      And most of the professors are named after trees.

      :|

    • mack

      lmfao professor oak

    • Carlinhos

      Yes, the next professor name is Prof Dandelion!

  • Captain Falcon

    Great. Now make a Viridian,Violet,Vermilion,Saffron, or a Pewter colored model.

    ;)

    • 3DSNERD

      HAHA nice. i’d buy the violet lol

    • Phantom-X

      The best part is that they are actually colors XP

    • http://NintendoWorlds.net TurboPikachu

      The best part is that all of them also happen to be the names cities/towns in the Kanto and Johto regions of the Pokemon World. XD

    • kelvin

      @TurboPikachu

      actually the johto cities are named after flowers and plants

    • http://NintendoWorlds.net TurboPikachu

      @Kelvin

      I’m aware of that, but seeing as “Violet” was mentioned, I thought it’d be akward to just say Kanto, as Violet City is located in the Johto region.

    • Carlinhos

      Ya, the purplish city in Kanto is actually Fuschia colored.

  • 1-up Dude

    Cool,I like the blue,but I keep aqua blue forever!

    • http://NintendoWorlds.net TurboPikachu

      Seconded!!! Aqua Blue for life!!!

    • aguy

      HELL YA

    • Sean

      AMEN

    • Aaron

      aqua blue still the best! lol

  • Phantom-X

    I don’t have anything against those colors, but they should stop making variations of other colors and begin making new colors such as green, orange and silver

    • Zack

      Silver would be awesome. There’s a silver 3DS XL though.

  • KING Z

    Cosmo Black, Aqua Blue, Flame Red, Pearl Pink, Midnight Purple, Ice White, Cobalt Blue & Now These 2 Colors That Suck So Much Im Not Even Gonna Bother Remembering There Names. Im Pretty Sure These Are All The Main Colors

    • Zack

      Don’t forget some of them are only in japan, at least for now. Besides, nothing is wrong with a bunch of color choices. It would be nice if they varied a little further though. They haven’t done anything close to green or orange or yellow, although come to think of it, all of those would be ugly.

    • jdub

      @zack look up green 3ds. Its sexy

  • RicardoSForever

    Still like my Aqua Blue, and Special Mario Red from Club Nintendo better.

    That Shimmer Pink! That’s what I’ve been waiting for! That looks so awesome! :D

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/Spakiness Spakiness

    So now they decided to get rid of odd gradient on the 3DS. It was about time.

    • http://NintendoWorlds.net TurboPikachu

      At least those gradients were pretty.

      These new 3DS units look very cheap and toy-like now. DX

  • http://NintendoWorlds.net TurboPikachu

    Neat. DSi colors carried over to 3DS. :/

  • TechTris

    Just give me Ice White goddamnit.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/theicedude545 icedude545

    THE COLORS ARE BIGHT AND STRANGELY REMIND ME OF BATHROOMS

  • Ixchel

    No I think they still have the gradients? The “Pink” looks like it’s fading from a red magenta to magenta.
    Why can I never get a real pink. Ugh.
    But seriously, what’s the need for Cerulean? It’s just a lighter cobalt…

  • bloodstone

    Completely Pointless article!

  • Mickey

    does anyone but me hope that the 3dsxl comes with a pen stylus

  • KIDNINTENDO

    Looks like this was the new “variations” Nintendo was talking about yesterday.

  • dipaahmaster224

    i see no difrence with the original blue and the new one

    • Total911

      The original Aqua Blue looks quite green in the light, and otherwise is quite a bit darker. Cerulean Blue will look blue in every way. I still love my Aqua Blue, though. :3

  • Elspeth

    Ah, nice sky blue and pink they are cute…But I will get my red Nintendo 3DS XL so that okay I can’t use these small 3DS anyway.

  • Mr. North

    The 3DS is out in Taiwan? I’ve been there for weeks and I’ve only been getting Japanese StreetPass hits…

  • Total911

    Cerulean Blue? AWW YEEEAAAH RAINBOW DASH-COLORED 3DS!!!

  • http://youtube.com/Spagettit Spagettit

    Those colors are pretty nice

  • Zack

    Did anyone else notice the color around the edges on the top? I’m pretty sure that’s new?

  • SakuMo

    Anyone notice it’s the same shades of blue and pink they released the DSi in?

  • Weng K

    These are for the Hong Kong regions, where I live, but i have my american and jp 3ds, one question, will it be able to play all 3 regions? :D

  • Big E

    In other words: Cotton Candy Colors. Let Taiwan join the Cotton Candy Club.

  • http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/e38804c496559ea8ed2806ddab4df509?s=80&r=pg Enki

    Wonder if these cause seizures.

    • Big E

      Only if there’s a Porygon and a thunderbolt involved.

  • the psvita is dead

    they look more like the color checker you see on prints: cyan and magenta.

    Only thing missing is yellow and black and you can form CMYK
