Nintendo has a bit of a history of boosting flagging sales by releasing new colors (the rainbow of translucent N64s should remind anybody of that), so it’s no suprise that Nintendo is now announcing a black 3DS XL. Honestly, I’m kind of amazed it took them this long–one of the digs I’ve always had against the 3DS was how ugly the two-tone look was. If you’re wondering why August 11 is the chosen date, Nintendo has an answer for you:
The system is launching on the same day as Nintendo 3DS game Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, so fans that pick up a new black system or already own a Nintendo 3DS can also play the exciting new entry in the much-loved Mario & Luigi role-playing series. Aug. 11 will be a classy day to become a new Nintendo 3DS owner. Just make sure there is room in your tuxedo pocket or fancy purse!
