A commercial for Mario & Luigi: Dream team, currently airing on Cartoon Network in North America, features an all-black 3DS XL. Though still not official confirmation from Nintendo, this is the next best thing. The last time a Nintendo ad featured a new style of system (the Pikachu 3DS XL in a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon ad), the new version was announced shortly after.
A crop of a screen grab from the commercial in question:
It's alive!!!
Original Story:
An all-black 3DS XL might finally be making its way to North America - at least in Canada. GoNintendo has uncovered a flyer from outlet Real Canadian Superstore that suggests the new color (for North America) will be on sale this Friday, July 26.
The all-black XL has been a part of Nintendo's various 3DS offerings for a while, but not outside of European bundles or Japan. A listing on Amazon UK also hints at a possible standalone release for this color. IGN has repeatedly asked Nintendo of America's COO Reggie Fils-Aime about future color configurations of 3DS hardware. Fils-Aime noted some 3DS colors simply don't sell well, while retail limitations in the United States prevent a similar constant color releases for the 3DS XL.
IGN has reached out to Nintendo of America for confirmation or comment, and will update this story if the publisher replies.
Rich has been asking for an all-black or all-white 3DS XL ever since the system was announced. Follow his reaction when Nintendo of America confirms or denies a United States release through his Twitter account @RichIGN.
