Rumors have been flying about over the past day or so regarding the New 3DS launch date. Last night, Gamnesia reported that the system would be launching on February 13 in North America. We chose to hold off on posting any speculation until some sort of concrete piece of proof surfaced, and it now looks like we have just that.
A promotional ad for the New 3DS surfaced online today. If true, the date mentioned lines up with rumors about a February 13 arrival for the system.
Red and black New 3DS XL colors are prominently featured in the ad. The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate are included as well. Might one (or both) of these titles be coming out on February 13 as well? All should be clear after tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct airs, presumably!
Those who purchase Citizens of Earth at launch will be able to pick up the game at a discounted price, Atlus has announced.

Soraya Saga has re-tweeted the news regarding tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct. You know what that means! We should be getting an Xenoblade update tomorrow. Some may have expected this, but it’s nice to receive an additional indication in any case.
We may actually receive some news about two Xenoblade games. Nintendo could have a thing or two to say about Xenoblade Chronicles X for Wii U as well as the port of Xenoblade Chronicles for New 3DS.
