The Red 3DS is coming out in the US on September 9th, no other release dates have been confirmed for other areas like Europe yet though

This 3DS already has been in Japan for a short time but I’m so happy it is finally coming over to my home country, the red/black 3DS is one of the reasons I have been waiting on getting a 3DS and now with the lower price I’m even more excited about this…

…a funny thing about this is that September 9th is the day before Yokoi’s birthday, which I think is perfect since its for a Virtual Boy-colored 3DS! 😀 :thumpup:

Go for it, you will love the 3DS, and you can buy old GB games too from the eShop. (and other systems but GB was Yokoi’s baby)

Thats my b’day its out on, I’d not say no if you felt inclined to get me one and send it over, my wife then won’t have bragging rights as she has the red/black DS we got when over in the US and I just have my faithful old black one, and the grey brick.

From the picture I saw it looked like it was all red. Is it?

The upper half is black: http://www.planet3ds.net/images/flame-red-nintendo-3ds-press-photo/

I know, but it the top of the lid red?

as far as i can recall the screen face is black, like the blue and black versions, but he rest is red, outer case, hinge and button face, i think its still layered but not sure if it goes lighter or darker, check out planet3ds link on the home page, i’m sure it had links to the jpn red one.

(i’m on my 3ds so not sure if i can paste a link)

Unfortunately, I don’t even have the money to get myself a 3DS and I doubt I could send a 3DS away if I was given one 😛

Just got my Mugen Power battery in the mail the other day and still hapy to own the console. I’d like a red, but we’ll see where this all goes…

Cool, keep us informed on how it goes, how long it plays etc, I have to put mine in craddle as soon as i get home from work else i don’t get to play after dinner, or i do but get the red flash warning of imminent game progress loss, which is actually good cos you don’t miss the fact your 3DS is about to shut down and gives you time to get it to the cradle.
