Really, really, really wanted Red. Kinda disappointed it wasn't a launch color (again!) No matter, I'll just buy whatever color I can at launch and trade it in toward the cost of a Red 3DS.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Why's the black one so small?

 

[entremet]

Black.

 

[noirebanana]

I just (a few minutes ago) placed a pre-order for the Aqua Blue 3DS at Play-Asia. I'm tired of all-black systems, so the blue/turquoise option is refreshing.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Bliggity black.

 

[Jade Knight 08]

I like the red version. I guess i'll wait for that.

 

[TheOGB]

Bliggity black.

damn you

I actually would wait for the Lite if I had any kind of patience. But I don't. And this thing is too damn awesome AND I MUST HAVE IT

 

[stay gold]

Wanted orange, but I guess i'll get the blue one if I buy at launch.

I hate how Nintendo always tease us with awesome colours, only to snatch them away.

 

[Gahiggidy]

Let's have a discussion on the 3DS's launch color selection. There's a small selection of 2 colors that will be available at launch; black and blue being the chosen colors.

Spoiler

no fucking red =(

For those of you that have been sold on the system, what color do you plan on getting?

For me, although all my electronics are black, I don't think I'll be doing this "matching" nonsense any longer. I've had my fair share of black electronics. I want my first next gen system to stray from the usual colors: black, grey, platinum, white.

Since I've never owned colorful system before, minus the purple GBA, I'm going with a blue 3DS for sure.

I like the black one better because its smaller.

 

[Instro]

Blue, my phat DS is blue as well. Then again the US might receive more or different colors.

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

Black. It looks really sleek.

 

[friskykillface]

i guess no red or purple til a 3DS lite :''(

i'll go with black since i have the light blue/teal dsi and i loved my black ds lite


black power!!! :lol

 

[Camwi]

I think I'll go with the blue DS.

There's just something about the black one that I don't trust..

 

[Chris R]

I'd get blue if it didn't have black on the top screen.

This :lol No clue what Nintendo was thinking with the two tone.

 

[friskykillface]

This :lol No clue what Nintendo was thinking with the two tone.

someone said the 3D screen needs a black background or it won't work

 

[Tenbatsu]

This :lol No clue what Nintendo was thinking with the two tone.

For easy focusing of the 3d effect.

 

[Chris R]

someone said the 3D screen needs a black background or it won't work

Well that sucks. Doesn't even work with darker non black colors?

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

I'm waiting till the price is down, I'll get the white one.

 

[seady]

I really hate the fat curvature when the system is closed. Why can't they make it rectangular like the DSi?

On topic: I like the Blue one much more than the Black. The black one look very cheap.

 

[Jonnyboy117]

I like the shade of blue they chose, but I don't like it mixed with the black upper half. So, if these are the launch colors, all black for me.

 

[cnizzle06]

The small stylus appeals to me more so I'll probably pick up the black one.

 

[dominuece]

The Black one.

 

[SleepyJohn11]

Black, though it's more because I don't that particular variant of blue.

 

[Gospel]

Superior black

 

[Ridli]

I like the blue color, too many black bricks out there.

But mostly I'll just continue sacrificing run-aways and orphans for a new shade for NA.

 

[NomarTyme]

Black Beauty.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Ironically, though my favorite color is blue, I really don't like that shade at all. And I don't like black either. Guess I'll be waiting, sadly.

 

[MidnightScott]

Althought they said the 3DS would be out in the rest of the world in March, aren't these colors just for the Japanese?

The US site still shows all 3 colors, I mean that could change, but I hold out hope for the red one. I already have the Light Blue DSi...

 

[Router]

Purple. Fuck both blue and black

 

[Jzero]

holy shit after looking at those last images i no longer want blue, wayy to shiny/glittery. black it is

 

[NomarTyme]

Once you go black you never go back.

 

[Foxix Von]

I like the blue but I'll have to get the black as I've already got a blue DSi.

 

[Quadrangulum]

Blue. I'm not sure why but I really like that color.

 

[Neverfade]

Black. Tired of this tacky two-tone shit.

 

[Stencil]

I really wanted purple

Spoiler

to put my Prince symbol sticker on

 

[makingmusic476]

Out of those two, definitely the black.

If they made one with a blue like this, I'd be all over it:

That's the DS I have, and it's the best looking handheld I've ever seen.

The blue they're using for the 3DS and the DSi is fugly. The color is something you'd see in a hospital in the 70s.

 

[jufonuk]

always bet on black

 

[boiled goose]

dont know why but 3ds just looks ugly.

DSlite looks so much sleeker.

I will be waiting for the inevitable revision.

 

[Scuba Steve]

Look how shiny the black 3DS is, it's ridiculous

 

[Toki767]

I wish they'd have gone with a non shiny inside ala DS Lite.

 

[Tenbatsu]

 

[Shin Kojima]

Black. I'll reconsider if they secretly unveil another dark color.

 

[trinest]

Black.

Blue is lame.

Might of considered a Red one.

But a Lime one would of made me get a coloured one full stop.

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

All of those visible lines and seams just make it look clunky to me. I don't like the sharp edges of the new hinge either. DSi's softer, round hinge was perfect. I felt that they were getting it right with the DSi's near seamless casing and matte colors but now the 3DS design just feels like a step back to me.

 

[Gomu Gomu]

sexy as hell.

 

[ASIS]

I'm really annoyed by that metal shining surface of the 3DS. Would love to take blue, but it looks like shit that way with all the glitter and crap. Have to go black I guess... doesn't look great either, but way better than blue.

I think I'm going with blue. Personally I would have loved to see red, orange, or purple colors instead. But oh well, at least the retro vibe of the blue color gives it some funk. Unlike the black one which is dull as hell.

 

[Koodo]

BLACK IS FLAWLESS, INSPIRING, POWERFUL, RESILIENT, etc.

The Aqua Blue is so ugly and basic it hurts.

 

[Danielsan]

I'll be waiting for white or a redesign.
I have a black DSlite and it's a fucking fingerprint magnet. This 3DS will be even worse with the inside being shiny as well.

 

[Tashi]

Black for sure.

 

[MrBelmontvedere]

would have considered blue if it weren't "baby blue"

maybe if I were buying it as a gift for my 5 year old nephew.
