That's a heck of a price to get in on faceplate collecting.

EDIT:

This is available at all US retailers, according to an update on Polygon's article:

Update: A Nintendo representative told Polygon that the $99.99 price will be available at all U.S. retailers, and only for these two special-edition models of the New Nintendo 3DS.

http://www.theverge.com/2016/11/7/13521800/black-friday-deals-2016-new-nintendo-3ds

Nintendo will be releasing two new limited edition versions of the handheld — one black, one white — which will both be available on November 25th for $99.99. That makes it just slightly more expensive than the $79.99 Nintendo 2DS, which is missing features like glasses-free 3D visuals, and half the price of the larger New Nintendo 3DS XL. Both of the new limited edition variants feature a slick and subtle Mushroom Kingdom print.

Here's Nintendo's official post on Twitter: https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/795672177941024771

From Nintendo:

It’s a deal spelled out in black and white: For the first time ever, Nintendo’s popular hand-held New Nintendo 3DS video game system will be offered at a suggested retail price of $99.99. Two special-edition models – one black, one white, both featuring Mushroom Kingdom characters and imagery – will be available starting Nov. 25. This system, along with great software, will appeal to gift-givers and value shoppers alike.

“Nintendo has some of the best gifts for the holiday season,” said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Whether you’re looking for games for the whole family, or a cool new system at a great value, Nintendo has you covered.”

 

[LewieP]

That's a good price.

 

[FuriousOne]

So tempting to go along with my XL.

 

[Dark Cloud]

[EPaul]

Amazon?

 

[LelouchZero]

Damn, that's a good deal!

 

[PseudoViper]

Damn. I just bought a PS Vita too...

 

[georly]

Wow, good deal. If NOA ever got a black one i'd pick one up, but I don't think white looks great with the faceplates I want.

Edit, wait black one is coming?

 

[LQX]

Nice. Will most likely rebuy it

 

[Cipher Peon]

WAIT.... IS THAT.... THE BLACK STANDARD NEW 3DS??????????????????
OH MY GOD YES YES YES

 

[Maintenance]

Would buy one easily if I could. Shame that I don't live there though.

 

[SunDimension24]

Was looking for a 3DS recently to play SMTIV:A
and this happens. So bought!!

 

[Grim Patron]

Damn. defo buying black new 3ds small.

 

[ohlawd]

Canada pls!

fake edit: FFF it's the ant model. XL for that price is a no brainer tho

 

[Miroku129]

People, buy one of these. Faceplates ftw bruh.

 

[TheGamingBox]

Wow, good deal. If NOA ever got a black one i'd pick one up, but I don't think white looks great with the faceplates I want.

you can change the plates on the special editions, im sure the black one is in a normal black case

 

[PreyingShark]

I bought a sun-moon n3ds XL two days ago because I thought we'd never get the black small one...

I QUIT.

 

[PushTheButtonMax]

Do we have to murder people in a store to get one at this price?

 

[FZZ]

That's a great price

Spoiler

Lowkey thinking of buying one D:

 

[Arc07]

Black n3DS? Sold.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Whoa, that is an AMAZING price.

 

[family_guy]

Not exactly the black color that I was looking for, but I'm in for that price.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Well than..guess I'm playing Pokemon sun a week later was going to get a 2ds just because only want to play Pokemon(i usually hate handhelds) but I mean it's a $20 difference for the newer version can't pass that up

 

[KingBroly]

$100? Awesome

 

[Flunkie]

Holy fucking shit I've been wanting a regular sized one.

Please be online.

 

[YuriLowell]

Oh god the black one looks amazing.

 

[BrettHeazy]

whats the likeliness I'll be able to grab this in the UK ?

 

[Gaspard]

Wow that's a really good deal and FINALLY a black one!

 

[BlackGhost]

If it's available online i might bite

 

[Pwnedkiller]

Kind of has me tempted to sell my N3DS XL. I always wanted the smaller 3DS and to have faceplates be a nice bonus.

 

[Amagon]

Want!

 

[oti]

Amazing deal!

 

[Menitta]

Great deal.

Damn. I just bought a PS Vita too...

[darkazcura]

Black New 3DS? Finally? Probably buying this!

 

[rec0ded1]

Nintendo really enjoys causing havoc during holiday season don't they?

Awesome price.

 

[georly]

you can change the plates on the special editions, im sure the black one is in a normal black case

I misread the thread, looks like the black N3DS is coming, so i'm good.

 

[Lambtron]

I had given up on getting a black New 3DS. Guess I did so too soon. Fuck me. Day one.

 

[ClayKavalier]

If Nintendo had an account system I'd buy one for my wife and to mess around with the face plates. I like the XL's bigger screens and almost all my games are digital though.

 

[Fireblend]

Anyone know where this will be sold? I uh, kind of need this.

 

[cvxfreak]

This price isn't permanent, right?

 

[OmegaFax]

and I'm sitting on a $60 Wal-Mart gift card. New 3DS black. Sold.

 

[kuroneko0509]

urgh tempted but I remembered that my friend has already left US earlier this summer :\

 

[shingi70]

What retailers.

 

[TalonJH]

I want this but I told myself that the Switch would be my "portable" for a few years.

 

[KodaRuss]

Damn so glad I sold mine a few weeks ago. Little late for this isnt it but that is a huge price drop!

 

[DieAntwoord]

Will be buying and selling the Pokemon XL one I just got. Seriously this screens resolution is too small for the XL.

 

[sixteen-bit]

lovely price for an n3DS

 

[rdaneel72]

Does it come with a power cord?

Nope

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

WAIT.... IS THAT.... THE BLACK STANDARD NEW 3DS??????????????????
OH MY GOD YES YES YES

Only 9 months after I gave up on ever getting one and bought the Pokémon Red/Blue edition. Goddammit Nintendo. The black one is legitimately one of my all time favorite looking consoles too.

 

[MissileTrick]

Man I really want this but switch is so soon
