Midnight Purple 3DS to be release in America next month? (Rumour)

Over a year ago, when it launched, the Nintendo 3DS only allowed two colours, Aqua Blue and Cosmo Black. However, just two colours didn't give enough variety to consumer, so the choices increased to five colours in the US market.  A few days ago, it appears there is another rumour spreading that another colour of the 3DS will become available for purchase.

What the Midnight Purple 3DS would look like

There are five colours of the 3DS available in the US market, and, compared to the other Nintendo DS's, that's a lot. According to a user in GameFAQs, in EB Games under the 3DS hardware list, there was another colour listed, Midnight Purple.

More information after the break.


 This would be the 7th 3DS colour to be officially released from Nintendo since Cobalt Blue was already released, although it is only available in Japan.

According to the same GameFAQ's post, it'll be released with Mario Tennis Open on May 20th. That is very close, less than a month away. Don't get too excited because we didn't get the official word from Nintendo yet. In my opinion, I believe that Nintendo will release a new colour in the near future.

So what do you think, would you be buying a Midnight Purple 3DS that was shown at the last years E3?
