Not sure if this has already been posted, but according to NoE's Twitter, these are the new 3DS faceplates that will be available at launch in Europe.

lock if old!

 

[Jeels]

Man, so nice. Stop rubbing it in NoE.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Price? I'd love to buy the wooden one.

I already have bought the Goomba and the cloth one.

 

[kittens]

I know port begging is bannable, but port this to North America please :-(

No word on price unfortunately. Been looking around to see if I could pre-order a couple for my Japanese n3DS but nothing yet. Will have another whip round tonight.

 

[Hero Prinny]

I'm so jelly that not does the XL not have this but we can't even get the smaller ones in the US to use em. really like the pokemon one

 

[keakster]

Salt in the wound .. anyone see the Majora's Mask face plate Japan is getting? So upsetting

 

[Ecliptor]

Shibata > Reggie.

 

[Bwana Whiskey]

Congrats Europe

I'm going broke :/

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Shibata > Reggie.

This has been a fact for a long time.

NOA is fucking ridiculous in some terms.

 

[nemisis0]

Surprised that the smash plates are not coming with that batch, they where not exclusive to the Ambassador bundle, at a later date a guess.

 

[AtomskEater]

Don't recall seeing those two in the bottom right before! I want that white one.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Shibata > Reggie.

Isn't this Iwata's fault as well? He is the CEO of NOA.

 

[oti]

I want the black 3DS so options are kinda limited I feel like. The wooden one could be cool but it'll surely cost something like 40€. Too expensive.

Don't mean to rub it in but the European Direct showed that too as something we'd get later down the line.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Op is one coldblooded bastard!

 

[MrCunningham]

Face plates? did we step back to the year 2000?


Oh wait...

or did Europe step back to the 2000's?

 

[Illusive_Juan]

Damn those look sweet! I might have to import just to look at it!



Meanwhile, i'm just sitting here in North America like:

 

[Rich!]

More like the entire world took a step forward with a brilliant new console design whilst America missed out entirely.

Pic?

 

[JP]

Have they given a UK price for these things?

 

[DecoyOctopus]

Pic?

.

 

[Kinsei]

That nice white MH one... Why do you hate people in NA Iwata?

 

[wwm0nkey]

.

Oh come on, dammit NoA!

 

[Morokh]

The wooden one is actually the thing that makes me hesitate with an XL ....

I know how crazy that sounds but ....

 

[SmokyDave]

Brushed steel? Aluminium? Carbon?

Nope. Just 'whacky' pictures. Sigh.

 

[JP]

That is listed on the Nintendo's UK new 3DS site so although it may not hit at launch it seems to be on it's way at some point.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Op is one coldblooded bastard!

I am so sorry hahaha

 

[JoeM86]

Europe is getting a load after launch too, including the Majora's Mask and Pikachu one

 

[oti]

I like the black 3DS better but the white one is better suited for faceplates. (I wouldn't buy all of them, one or two max.) What to do?

 

[Mik317]

Europe: THIS IS FOR GETTING SMTIV BITCHES

 

[Chaos17]

.

This is so cool.

 

[Ondore]

Would buy 2-5 (Monster Hunter black and gold), 2-4 (Pokemon ORAS) or 1-2 (significant wood) in a heartbeat. Instead, as a NA resident...

 

[Tobinishi]

Ok, I will give in and finally buy a 3DS with the wooden faceplate. It just looks awesome

 

[ArchedThunder]

NoA is dead to me.

 

[Curufinwe]

Dear America,

Get fucked.

Yours sincerely,
Nintendo.

 

[Regiruler]

They can get V early if it means I get my faceplates

 

[ZeroX03]

By the way these aren't region specific or anything, you can import any faceplates you want from Japan. I have the red and blue ORAS plates and they're supreme.

Do it EuroGAF.

Brushed steel? Aluminium? Carbon?

Nope. Just 'whacky' pictures. Sigh.

You have yuck taste in handhelds tho

 

[v0yce]

I really let myself get excited that the US would be getting an ambassador version and I would get a chance to have some fun with faceplates.

Was trying to find the Jibanyan faceplate when I got my JP n3DS but it was sold out in every store I went to :/ That black Monster Hunter one looks sublime though. Will have me some of that.

EDIT: DAMN that ORAS Faceplate is nicer than I expect D: Not sure how good it would look on black though. Hmmm.

 

[TsunamiOfSwagger]

I like the two in the top left, the white or the wood one. If I was to buy a new 3ds, it would have been the xl model. But I do like the customisation of the case.

 

[MrCunningham]

More like the entire world took a step forward with a brilliant new console design whilst America missed out entirely.

A minor spec upgrade doesn't really constitute as a brilliant new console design to me.

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Well that is a nice reversal. When the Game Boy Micro came out in Europe they didn't release any faceplates to go alongside it. I might buy those Majora's Mask and Isabelle ones just in case of getting a new 3DS in the future.

 

[IlSignorCornetto]

oh god the white monster hunter one *^*

 

[Peru]

White MH is my #1. Wood is so hot too though.

 

[Fevaweva]

None of these will be for the n3DS XL will they?

Sad times.

 

[ShadowKingpin]

.

Goddamn that looks good. I'm a little angry now. So, is the US version not able to swap plates? If not, I'm going to be livid.

 

[JP]

Just been looking into these online and am I right in thinking that the wooden one does actually have a layer of wood on the faceplate? Not sure if they're available anywhere else yet but does anybody have one of the wooden ones?
