That looks sick as hell. Too bad us Americans are too stupid to get cool stuff.

 

[Doctor Shatner]

I didn't even want a regular n3ds but that is beautiful (urge to board NoA hate train rising...)

 

[Diggeh]

NOA BE GOOD FOR ONCE

 

[Resilient]

AMAZING!!!!!

ILL TAKE 23!!

Holy SHIT!!

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Can we just go one page of a faceplates thread with, you know, some proper posts instead of 'fuck NOA' repeated over and over again?

There are already 2 active threads dedicating to bitching about NoA.

Well

It keeps on being relevant

 

[Astral/H3X]

Why feel bad? I'm loving mine. This thing is gorgeous!

Please quit being an asshole.

 

[Xamdou]

So this is only for the regular New 3DS and not the XL version!?

 

[Reveirg]

Omg. I would've payed a lot of money to put that on my new 3DS XL

 

[DR2K]

Wow that's a really nice design.

 

[Shengar]

Both the awesome plate covers for EU and Japan and fuck you to NoA just keep comin'.

 

[bms2993]

Please quit being an asshole.

No, I'm just saying I love my XL...

 

[NotLiquid]

.... Well now I kind of have second thoughts about my Majora XL

Nope. People have every right to be insanely salty about the biggest market for Nintendo being treated like one of their smallest.

 

[Son Of D]

I imagine these will come to Europe just after XBC releases. Still wonder if it'll get a XL bundle as well.

 

[Akhe]

Whyyyyyy NOOOOOOAAAAAA? Why!!!????

 

[AgentOtaku]

Damn NOA... you fuuuuucked up!

 

[Ryfferr]

I imagine these will come to Europe just after XBC releases. Still wonder if it'll get a XL bundle as well.

Hopefully they also release it in Aus/NZ so if anyone from my region misses out on preordering from japanese import sites we still have the option too.

A bundle / preorder bonus would be lovely though.

You want faceplates? Import the console. Just as if you want to play Bayo2 you would need to fork out for a Wii U.

--

I wish I could justify buying these faceplates but I hear they're very scratch-prone

Import a console for fucking faceplates? How about offering it to the one territory that still buys their shit?

 

[NintendoGal]

Well

It keeps on being relevant

Yep, as long as they keep making the moves they have been. It almost feels like a perpetual motion machine of some sort at this point.

 

[Snookie]

 

[TheSlySoul]

So any guess what number 60 will be? Hoping another Xenoblade faceplate.

 

[bms2993]

Worry not, my dear NintenGafffers for Nintendo of America will likely have a special edition new Nintendo 3DS XL for the release of this game. They can't possibly screw it up!

 

[3DShovel]

My MMn3DSXL is still nice, but damn, that is nice...

NOA, release this and the regular n3DS so I can buy it, too.

 

[ChrisD]

I don't understand Nintendo. I mean, I thought I had a grasp somewhat with some of their decisions. But the past year has thrown everything I thought out the window. I don't understand a single friggin' thing anymore.

 

[Aequitas]

They wouldn't know how to market those faceplates here anyway.

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

NoA's marketing genius becomes more apparent each day, with every piece of cool N3DS news from overseas serving as a nice little slap in the face to the enthusiasts, who, incidentally, appear to be the audience actually keeping Nintendo afloat these days.

Because marketing different skus is, like, wicked hard or something. And alienating the people who pay the most attention to this shit is just how it goes...

 

[Slixshot]

HOLY F&#@... I... WANT... SO BAD.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Wow that's fucking gorgeous!! Fuuuuck you NoA! Fuck you!

 

[Smoothice65]

I imagine these will come to Europe just after XBC releases. Still wonder if it'll get a XL bundle as well.

I dont like the regular 3DS (large hands) BUT DAMNNNNNN that faceplate loookkss sooo f*cking good. Hope that they will release some kind of bundle.

Sidenote Nintendo is REALLY pushing Xenoblade I am shocked !

 

[Doogdogg]

:O

wow I want it.

 

[Adam Prime]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK YYOOUU NOA!

Seriously, THIS is why I wanted it.

First post nails it yet again.

 

[Xpike]

Yeah, if NoA doesn't announce a Xenoblade N3DS XL now, I'll be really pissed.

 

[bobbychalkers]

Well goddamn that is sexy.....

 

[careksims]

Even though I just got the ZeldaMM N3DS today.... it really pales in comparison to this. THIS!! D: So much salt.

 

[Hattori]

Worry not, my dear NintenGafffers for Nintendo of America will likely have a special edition new Nintendo 3DS XL for the release of this game. They can't possibly screw it up!

I'm sure the two non-scalpers that actually get them will be elated

 

[jimi_dini]

Nintendo found my weakness

faceplates + amiibos

 

[EloquentM]

Is there a campaign. I will sign any petition against NoA at this point. Damn that faceplate is gorgeous.

 

[RAWi]

I didn't care that I couldn't have the regular New 3DS before.

Now I do. Damn you NOA

I am in the same boat...

o_o I have seen the power of interchangeable face plates. They really can get you to buy or want something.

Damn it market! Why are you so different?!?!?!

 

[Thoraxes]

I for one just want to thank NoA because they saved me from myself.

When I import a JP 3DS imma want all of these.

 

[methodman]

That is fucking dope. Fuck you NOA

 

[Fusebox]

Damn, I have GOT to trade my white n3DS for a black one.

 

[budpikmin]

I just put the wooden faceplates on a couple of days ago but fuck it I need these.

 

[Magnet_Man]

Why is the most detailed parts of the Monado on the underside? When would you ever see it? That's dumb.

Still want.

 

[Anth0ny]

NOA is saving me a lot of money buy not releasing n3DS.

I feel like I'd have 10 face plates by now.

 

[JCizzle]

Fuck you NOA.

 

[bms2993]

It's a shame these things will never come to North America. I also would love this faceplate. :/ But, I'm happy with my XL. It's good to be thankful for what you have I suppose.

 

[Benzychenz]

Hopefully they also release it in Aus/NZ so if anyone from my region misses out on preordering from japanese import sites we still have the option too.

A bundle / preorder bonus would be lovely though.

Are faceplates generally low stock and sell out like amiibos? Only one I've imported is the felt one when I first bought the New 3DS.

Should I be refreshing a page to make sure I grab this or what?

 

[Vena]

What are the odds we see a Xenoblade XL limited edition instead?

 

[TheMoon]

Wow, thread is 99% NOA shitting. Jeez, we get it.

Cover plate hype!
