Nintendo 3DS XL back in black

If you're old enough to need a jumbo-sized Nintendo 3DS XL for your poorly peepers, perhaps you're also old enough that you feel self-conscious about being seen with a blue, red or pink system. Fear not, you big babies: from August 11, the 3DS XL will be available in pure black too, so you can look oh-so-cool as you chat with animals during your commute.

Guys, I don't know what else to say. It'll be black. With black bits. No colored highlights. Do you like the color black and the Nintendo 3DS XL? If so, you may like owning the handheld in black. Which you'll be able on August 11, the same day that Mario & Luigi: Dream Team comes out. It'll cost $199.99, like any other 3DS XL. I give up.

      From your tone Alice, it seems you crave better news to cover :P

      The only thing stopping me from buying a 3ds is the crappy no grip joystick.

      Sweet! I nearly bought one a couple weeks ago but the PS+/Vita combo won me over. Glad I waited!

            You two are both full of dry wit and sarcasm, and you're easily my favorite writers because of it.

      I wish they would just come out with a model that had changeable face and back plates and then instead of relying on special editions they could make money by selling these plates as accessories.

      Then they could even include "special edition" plates with various collector edition's of games.

      Seriously, that would be awesome.

      Is this their only 3DS XL in North America with a single colour? I don't like those blue/black and red/black mixes.
