Officially, it’s over a week before the Midnight Purple 3DS should be available. But, supposedly, the new colour has become available at some Walmart locations. If you want to pick it up, you might want to check out your local retailer. There’s photos of the colour after the break from a display at the Nintendo World Store.
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.

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.
