Two Mario-Themed New Nintendo 3DS Systems Will Launch On Black Friday At Discount

Are you eager to join the Nintendo 3DS family, but you’ve been waiting for an exciting announcement to give you that final push? Good news: Nov. 25, also known as Black Friday, will see the release of two new standard-sized New Nintendo 3DS systems!

One will be black, the other will be white, and both designs will be decorated with classic Mario iconography. $99.99 will be the asking price for these two iterations of Nintendo’s incumbent handheld.

Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, had this to say:

“Nintendo has some of the best gifts for the holiday season. Whether you’re looking for games for the whole family, or a cool new system at a great value, Nintendo has you covered.”

Personally, this price point isn’t enough to persuade me to upgrade from my Nintendo 3DS XL, especially with the Nintendo Switch looming in the distance. However, I do believe it’s a nice deal, and I find it to be a more attractive option than a recolored Nintendo 2DS.

The 3DS family has already accumulated a nice library, with Pokémon Sun and Moon arriving later this month and Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS coming in December. Animal Crossing: New Leaf was just given a sizable update, too.
