Nintendo has confirmed “Midnight Purple” as the next color variation for the 3DS in North America. It will be available on May 20.

Just as lilacs and hyacinth bloom throughout the spring, so too a new color is blooming for the Nintendo 3DS system. Midnight Purple gives the hand-held a royal new look. The new color will launch May 20, the same day Mario Tennis Open becomes available.

The Midnight Purple Nintendo 3DS, offered at a suggested retail price of $169.99 in the United States, becomes the fifth color in the always-stylish Nintendo 3DS color palette, joining Cosmo Black, Aqua Blue, Flame Red and Pearl Pink. Now fans have another option to customize the look of their systems to suit their individual styles and personalities.


Even though this is slightly creepy, it’s strangely amusing. Village People’s “Macho Man” is a surprisingly good fit for this video…

Enjoy this weekend’s randomocity!

Late last year, artist Sean Ng created a number of pieces showcasing what a futuristic Zelda could look like. “The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of the Future” set resulted from his interest in seeing “what Hyrule would be like in some strange, parallel, bombed out universe”.

Ng was able to complete his work in seven weeks.

You can find a bunch of “Echoes of the Future” art in the gallery above. More details about the project are located here.

As we reported back in February, Nintendo will be shutting down the Wii no Ma channel in Japan today. The service’s staff came up with the nice, short goodbye shown in the video above before its termination.


Pokemon Smash showed a new round of Black/White 2 footage on yesterday’s episode. One of the main point’s we can take away from the video is that Keldeo is #298 in the game’s Unova Pokedex.
