When it releases, the 3DS XL won’t come with a charger in Japan (or Europe). Nintendo is easing the pain of those who will be forced to purchase the accessory by dropping its price.

Starting on July 12, the 3DS AC Adapter price will lower from 1,500 yen to 1,000 yen.

Of course, other adapters can be used to charge the 3DS XL. You can use the regular 3DS charger or one that comes with the DSi/DSi XL.

Nintendo is preparing two unique 3DS colors for Taiwan and Hong Kong. Cerulean Blue and Shimmer Pink will be released on September 28. Although they aren’t the 3DS XL models (which hit store shelves on the same day), the original colors may appeal to some consumers.

The New Super Mario Bros. 2 price located on the North American eShop yesterday has been removed. It now contains “TBD” on the listing.

I do admit that it’s curious how the price was removed. Still, I’d be surprised if the price were to change. We’ll see what happens.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before the updated version of Ice Climber launches on the North America/European eShops.

Cave Story 3D came out in North America last year, but it hasn’t been released in Japan yet. Maybe it’s worth the wait.

For the Japanese release, new playable characters have been added in. Falcom’s Dragon Slayer, the lead character from Crazy Climber, and one of the famers from Sunsoft’s Famicom game Ikki are included.

A few screenshots of the characters can be found above.
