Right on the heels of an announcement that the original Cosmo Black and Ice White 3DS colors would be discontinued in Japan, another announcement reveals that the original black and white colors are being replaced by two new black and white colors: Pure White and Clear Black. The two new 3DS colors will launch on October 10th, and are strikingly similar to the old ones, leaving one wondering about the reason for the replacement. The consoles will retail at a price of 15,000 yen, or about $152. Sales of the newly colored systems should be no problem at that price, as Monster Hunter 4 has been driving 3DS sales numbers through the roof since the game’s release.
These colors might be cheaper to make idk.
They look shinier I guess.
What’s the difference, though? I cannot for the life of me see a reason why Nintendo would release two versions of the 3DS with the same colours but different names?! At least put collector numbers on them.
The cosmo black 3DS has a kind of silvery grain in it, maybe this one is just pure glossy black. That’s the only difference I can think of. Not sure if the same applies to the ice white though as I haven’t seen one.
I could think of buying black 3DS XL to go with my Wii U.
I’m getting it. My 3DS xL has been beat to hell, and I have been wanting black since day 1.
The last part sounds a bit wrong :P
once you go black you can’t go back
Michael Jackson proved you could.
I hope clear black or cosmo black releases in europe. I haven’t bought a 3ds xl because i want a complete black one.
Hopefully clear black but cosmo black is more likely.
black 3ds xl already available in europe…
Bastards.
Well that explains why they ditched the duo Black/White model. :/
Clear Black?
I want my Cosmos Black to come back~! D:
Well, nah what the hell am I even saying. :P
These colors look cool too, I suppose. :/
They look more like pure black/white without the silver-ish gloss. Like the sky blue, new pink and new red 3DS in Japan. Imo this looks so much better!
