Nintendo to Launch Home Screen Themes for 3DS

Nintendo has announced plans to launch 3DS home screen themes in an upcoming firmware update.

The themes will feature a variety of Nintendo properties such as Mario, The Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing. When the firmware update launches, 50 total themes will be available for you to choose from. In Japan, each theme cost from 100 to 200 yen (approximately $0.90 and $1.80). The themes are currently only announced for the Japanese market, so whether they’ll ever make their way out of that territory is currently unknown. When Joystiq reached out to Nintendo for more information regarding a worldwide release of the themes, they were given no comment.

For a closer look at the currently revealed themes, you can check out Nintendo’s Japanese website.
