To start off for this week let's check out some news from Nintendo. In our latest podcast (coming soon) we mentioned that "Midnight Purple" was a new colour would come to the 3DS, though we did not know if it would come to other regions. Today NoA has come out and announced this model will be available for this region and gave a release date of May 20th.
People that are on top of Nintendo news will know that this is also the date that Mario Tennis Open comes out. There is no news to if there will be a bundle of sorts to promote both, but it is possible. "Midnight Purple" is actually a very nice shade of purple and looks great, it also reminds me of the Saints Row series.
Note however the this colour scheme is in no way marketed by McDonalds, the picture was just for "shits and giggles", thanks to
Joystiq. Hopefully we can get more of these great looking colour schemes over to western markets, and not just be exclusive to Japan. If I didn't already have a 3DS I would get this colour since it looks great and it would be very unique.
