Nintendo has announced that a limited-edition Flame Red 3DS bundle (with Super Mario 3D Land as pre-installed software) is coming to North America on November 23rd for $169.99. If you still haven’t picked up a 3DS, this might make for a good option as we arrive in the holiday season.
Australia and New Zealand will be receiving the Nintendo 3DS in the Flame Red colour from September 22nd onwards. This is the official announcement from Nintendo:
Nintendo announces that from 22 September, Nintendo 3DS™ will be available in a new colour – Flame Red. Flame Red will join already released colours Aqua Blue and Cosmos Black. Nintendo 3DS is priced at $AU249.95* and offers 3D gaming without the need for special glasses.
Not much of a surprise, but yeah, it’s cool either way.
Amazon has opened up the preorder page for the Flame Red Nintendo 3DS. You can click here to find it. Once again, the colour will be available from September 9th onwards in North America. It’s selling for $169.99 as it’s available after the price drop.
Reggie Fils-Aime has confirmed that the Flame Red 3DS is coming to America on September 9th. This coincides with the release of Star Fox 64 3D, but the game will not be sold as a bundle. We’re not sure if the new colour will also launch in other regions but I’d be surprised if Nintendo didn’t announce something soon.
