Nintendo of America has announced via Twitter that it will be launching two new colours which will be available to purchase as early as this week. The two new colours are Matte Red and Matte Blue.
Time for a color refresh! Check out Matte Red & Matte Blue Nintendo DSi coming to retailers as early as this week!
who buys this ?, i guess people buy this for Flipnotes.
WHY NINTENDO, why must you make me regret getting things.
um…people buy consoles for games, plus ps2 is still selling after 10 years.
Red and Blue?
OMG HOENN CONFIRUMED
Would be amazing for 3ds :D
But this is DSi -.-
I think he means RS remakes. Not sure.
I know he does but youd think theyd be on the 3DS. Plus Blue and Red are the only XL coliurs in America, its a prime target for bundles
Whoa, still making DSi systems?
I could not afford a Nintendo DS when it was it’s time, and i won’t buy one right now because i want a 3DS XL.
Anyone knows in which colors the 3DS XL is available?
USA – Blue&Black, Red&Black
Europe – Blue&Black, Red&Black, Silver&Black
Japan – Blue&Black, Red&Black, Silver&Black, White
For blue&black, red&black, you mean those are mixed colors, like red in the outside and black in the inside?
yes
Hmm, so bad, i guess i’ll wait for one that is completely black.
In North America just Red and Blue.
I hate when they release different colors like this. I won’t buy any colors until they release the White color or the Silver color at least
umm so tell me reggie when does the next gen of hand held games start becuase 3ds is kinda lacking in the hardcore department that u and your bosses at nintendo clame u want to attract back to u when u are offering us more and more jrpg or should i just say rpg in general. when can i get a chance to get head shots on the go or maybe play a fps on the go without having to go back and buy a crappy DS tittle because im a hardcore nintendo gamer but i wana play so FPS damn it. nintendo really needs to let up and stop trying to cater to little kids and female gamers all the time let these third party developers who want to make gore games do what they wana do like u used to back in the N64 era and gamecube era. because nes and snes n64 and gamecube was the reason i am a loyal nintendo fan today
LOL, i was used to the “Hardcore” term of people who plays video games like the most important of his/her hobbies, and with that he/she had the opportunity to judge the games they played by the story, gameplay, replay value, graphics, etc. Now people call themselves “Hardcore” because they play games with gore or a los of bullets
sorry a typing error it was lot* not los
its funny now days u so called gamers dont know a gamer when u see one. see thats one thing about this generation i hate is people is so quick to say oh ur no hardcore gamer yet they dont even know what a core gamer is. so what if i like gore fps games hell mad world for wii was gore and i payed 50 bucks for it and it was worth every cent. besides bro u have to admit 3ds is all rpg and some core games like resident even and we dont even have a metroid game yet. besides no one really comes out and say how well 3ds is doing here in the states why because people dont play JRPG
Really 3ds is all RPGs? Name 5 RPGs on the 3ds that have actually been localized that aren’t just ports? In my opinion a core gamer is someone who will try different genres and won’t turn away from a game becuase it looks to kiddie. Also nintendo isn’t holding back developers from making M rated games on the 3ds it’s the developers who don’t want to do it so if you’re going to complain to someone complain to them.
Go buy Kid Icarus Uprising you ain’t getting more hardcore than that especially on 9.0 difficulty.And it is technically a shooter so?
Plus the controls work even better than double analog sticks, i don’t know what the fuss around them was all about.
Yet another person that acts like “hardcore” equals gore/FPS.
I am disappoint in the gamer race.
dude what u mean ok. so u tell me that mario is a new super mario bros is a hard game to figure out. seriously my first mario game was mario bros 3 in 1992 by then snes had already came out. such shame u dont even know me yet u judge me that quick
3DS doesnt have many hardcore games, yet. Not that the games are bad, theyre awesome, but the “hardcore” titles are scarce. I want another 2D Metroid >.<
i agree. but i just dont understand why when someone says 3ds needs : a hardcore fps with gore and so on people automaticly say oh ur no hardcore gamer u dont know what real games are. like seriously how many times have we played mario i mean honestly this would be the 100 thousand times now
Tbh, a fps gore fest isnt the only hardcore game, but i can understand the desire for it. Its just the game might look pretty, meh, although Metroid Hunters looked good and that was at the begining on the DS lifetime. One will probably turn up in time.
i hope so cause im tired of all these rpg games i mean there not bad but damn its like snes all over again
What? C’mon dude, if you think FPS’s are the only games that a hardcore then you must not play too many good games. Some would say that games such as Resident Evil Revelations, Metal Gear Solid 3D and Dead or Alive are very hardcore games
Yaea but some of us do like fps if u don’t so what move on besides I been playing games since 92
WTF? 1992?
Christ you are a noob!!
My first console was an Atari 2600 which my parents bought in 1985 … PROPER OLD-SKOOL MOTHERFUCKER! XD
Youre over 30 and youre saying noob?
/\ im trying to get cool with the kids … Its not easy for an old bastard like me to keep up with all these new words/\ im trying to get cool with the kids … Its not easy for an old bastard like me to keep up with all these new words.
Do you young’uns still say “radical” or “wicked” these days?
dude as a 23 year old im not sure if i should just call u childish or just plain immature but moving on i have been playing games like mario 3 since i was 2 years old which means i was born 1990. next u say u been playing atari since 1985 thats kinda interesting because my mom played atari in 1979 and she told me that NES was the shit when mario bros came out in 1985 and here it is 2012 and my moms 40 years old besides 1985 is when nintendo resurrected gaming. So if i feel like posting something about what i rather play on my 3ds i will so grow up if u can.
ok i own all those games and then some. next i bet when i say FPS u guys think im talkin about call of duty or some shit. you know borderlands happens to be a fps rpg metroid seems to be a fps adventure and if those arnt core games than what u call them?
It would be a waste of time to buy a DSi! O.o For a little more money, you can buy a 3DS which can play DS and 3DS games + it has more features than the DSi. So, why release these new colors for the DSi!?
DS games are badly stretched and have control lag when being played on a 3DS.
I wouldn’t buy a DSi at this point either, though. If the DS Lite was still being sold, on the other hand…
Really? I heard that you can adjust the resolution on the 3DS for DS games to make them look and play normal. Is that true?
Yes hold start and select when you start the game
People have also complained about that resolution as well. I’ve heard the start/select display on 3DS XL is great, though.
Thanks for answering guys! ^_^ I was planning on getting a 3DS XL, so I guess that there will be no problems then.
I played DS games on my new 3DS XL today … they look awful like jaggy-pixel city on that big screen with HUGE black borders on either side.
Yes but the resolution sucks plus the DSi has facebook support and flipnote.
Why is this?
Why never orange???
dsi? Ii would be doing 3ds or XL
only thing dsi has better than 3ds is flipnote and battery life.
Give us more XL colour/patterns. The current ones are…meh (i know, i know, they havent been released everywhere yet)
Seriously, Nintendo? Still trying to milk a dead product for sales?
Where’s the shit brown color to represent what it is? Utter shit.
Pokemon black and white 2. That is all.
Arent they still selling the psp and psp go?
PSP Go was discontinued in April 2011. The PSP still has games made for it and strong sales because the lack of UMD support on the PSVita, the passport program isn’t enough to kill the PSP.
So it is still being made and selling?
“Still trying to milk dead products?”
I hope you find the stupidity in your comment
PSP isn’t dead, there’s a big fucking difference.
Why buy a goddamn DSi for less, when you can have a current model for slightly more that does EVERYTHING it can. I hope YOU see your stupidity and stop being a dumb little fanbitch. Open your fucking eyes, they’re just trying to milk this shit for all it’s worth.
Why buy a PSP when the Vita does pretty muc everything the original can?
Show me Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep or the loads of UMD Vita.
Oh right, you can’t. PSV is not fully backwards compatible, I don’t know how it is in Japan with the “passport program” but stateside quite a few key titles and more aren’t officially supported by it.
loads of UMDs running on the Vita.*
Yeah,but the thingyou needto understand with the 3DS is alot of its marketis agedbelow18, they dont have a job and earn money,3DS is kindapricey. Sosome people will buy a DSi, the transistionto 3DS has fully taken over yet.
And yes, i knowthe grammer was “bad” there, but when the text box doesnt let me put spaces,its not myfault.
Please sort if Sikr -.-
I still think it’s dumb. They’ll just be hurting themselves in the long run, I doubt parents would wait like a year orso later just to buy them yet another new handheld.
Birth by sleep,Why are not downloadable.That was the only reason I didn´t trade my psp for a Vita.Why square,Why.
+1 for another reason to not buy a PSV, thanks…
You weren’t going to buy one anyway, so what did you hope to accomplish?
lol.
For newcomers who want a cheap system they might buy this. And DSi is great for playing DS games unlike the 3DS which look really crappy.
You’d be surprised at the number of people who wait a generation to get a console. I used to be one of them. It’s a whole lot cheaper.
That’s a gorgeous red, but…. I have a 3DS now.
I still want a regular DSi at some point, so this might just do the trick. But I’m not sure I like those particular colors.
DSi: Plays DSiWare Games that the original DS and DS Lite can’t do, it has cameras, and it has better wireless functionalities, and can store things on an SD card.
3DS: All of the above, plus plays all the games that will be released in the next 5 or so years AT LEAST.
Exactly what’s the point of getting a DSi…?
Whoa awesome finally america gets cool colors. Funny how i got the metallic blue color ( the blue up there) at launch in japan when i got my first dsi.
Why? Why are you advertising and making outdated hardware Nintendo? Don’t you like people buying 3DSs?
Why not? People still buy them, so why not keep supporting them?
Dang, I originally wanted the red one back when it was announced for release in Japan and Europe to arrive, but now that it was just announced I don’t feel like buying one.
Why should be getting this?… weird….
WHERE’S MY FLIPNOTE 3D THAT YOU PROMISED US, NINTENDO?!?!
Seriously!? That matte blue reminds me of my Black Friday Metallic Blue Mario DSi. And why the DSi? Those colors would be great on the 3DS XL.
Talk about weird idea…
Why? get the 3DS not a DSi…
must have costed them practically nothing for them to make such a move.
Please make orange and green colored 3ds’s
I love my Flame Red 3DS, but I would also like for Nintendo to release a green one. Give myself something new in the case that my current one somehow breaks. Plus, it would suck more for Ambassadors who got stuck with the launch colors (if they hate blue/black) if Nintendo releases more colors. DO IT NINTENDO! IT SUCKS NOT BEING AN AMBASSADOR!
So it sucks having an extra $80 in your pocket?
Releasing a new DSi now is like getting a massive erection in your pants but having nothing to fuck … probably.
