Best But has kicked off a “July Black Friday” sale today. There aren’t too many highlights unfortunately, but several 3DS models have been discounted by $30.
You can find the full list here. Note that the sale is only valid today and Saturday.
Thanks to Mali for the tip.
The black 3DS XL could be out in just a few weeks in North America, if a new retailer listing is to be believed.
Amazon Canada has listed the system variation on its website. According to a product listing, the black 3DS XL will be out on August 11.
Nintendo has yet to officially announce the black 3DS XL for North America, but it has already appeared in a commercial for Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. The company should say something before August 11, assuming Amazon’s data is spot on.

Pre-orders for Devil Survivor 2 have been delayed a bit in Europe. Publisher Ghostlight said in a new blog post today that the company is “just waiting on final approval of the content that we hope to include with the European edition.”
In any case, Ghostlight has now shared a couple of pre-order options that will be available to interested RPG fans:
Option 1: Standalone Release
- Devil Survivor 2 (DS)
- This factory sealed edition will be available to all PAL territories and anyone pre-ordering from us will have the option to include their name in the DS2 manual.
- Pre-Order price £24.99/€29.99
Option 2: Devil Survivor Bundle
- Devil Survivor 2 (DS) & Devil Survivor Overclocked (3DS) with £10.00 discount!
- Both games will be factory sealed and as with Option 1, anyone pre-ordering the bundle will have the option to include their name in the DS2 manual. Regrettably, we will not be able to ship this bundle to Germany due to an existing distribution agreement.
- Pre-Order price £49.98/€59.98 (usual price £59.98/€69.98)
Ghostlight will need to see 1,800 pre-orders in the span of a month in order to make the European release of Devil Survivor 2 a reality. If the final total is far off, “everyone who ordered Devil Survivor 2 on its own will receive a full refund while those who ordered the bundle will receive a refund of £24.99 – meaning that you will still receive Devil Survivor Overclocked with the huge £10.00 discount.”
Ghostlight has also said the following regarding Devil Survivor 2’s potential release date:
We’re expecting manufacture to take five weeks so assuming we reach our target and we enter manufacturing when pre-orders close, the game should be released at the end of September. If we reach our target sooner than the pre-order deadline, then we will naturally move into manufacturing before the close of pre-orders, meaning that you would get your game a little sooner.
Indie developer Teku Studios created a new Kickstarter last week for its brand new project Candle, a game described as “a dynamic graphic adventure” and a mix between graphic adventure and platformer styles.
In the span of just seven days, the team was able to raise $10,000 of the $40,000 goal. Nintendo fans may want to take part in the Kickstarter, as it will be guaranteed for Wii U if the $85,000 stretch goal is reached.
Candle’s Kickstarter ends on August 16. 21 days remain to fully fund the project – and hopefully the Wii U stretch goal will be met as well.
