Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo sold 19,000 New 3DS face plates for the Japanese launch

S.Peelman on 18 October 2014

Lol Yoshi one of the popular ones, didn't expect that .

Anyway choosing which version of the N3DS I want to get is pretty hard. On one hand I want an XL because I only have a regular 3DS now, and a big screen equals a big plus. On the other hand, the smaller version has these faceplates, and the SNES-colored buttons which are beyond cool :-/ .

There is a second batch coming out soon.

More importantly, dat wooden faceplate. Sexy (it's real wood).

Nobody is that stupid.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Fiiiine, I rechecked where I originially read that and yes it's not real wood. But fooled a lot of people.

Sitting here with my XL from launch day two years ago...
*Looks at Smash Bros XL picture*
*cries*
I want it, but it would be a perfectly good waste of money because my plain red XL works just fine, and it's not like I spend most of my time with the 3DS looking at the side without a screen.

I want faceplates for the old XLs. Gimme.



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash
