Evoking images of lilacs, hyacinth and GameCubes, Nintendoās Midnight Purple 3DS launches on May 20 in North America, giving fans another way to ācustomize the look of their systemsā.
Nintendoās official announcement of this new Midnight Purple color scheme, joining red, blue, black, and pink on the market just in time for Mario Tennis Open, heralds it as āanother option to customize the look of their systems to suit their individual styles and personalitiesā. Having previously traded in Nintendo handhelds at my local retailer in order to secure a different color Iām not condemning the practice. Calling it customization just seems like a bit of a stretch. Thatās like customizing your car by buying the same model in a different color.
But hey, new color, and one that reminds me vaguely of my GameCube.
Well, my GameCube until I traded it in for a silver one.
