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.
