Another reason for those who haven’t already jumped on the Nintendo 3DS bandwagon to do so has been revealed here in North America in the form of a Yoshi-themed Nintendo 3DS XL system. Launching alongside Yoshi’s New Island on March 14, the system sports a light green hue with Yoshi on the front and “a series of cute Yoshi eggs on the back.” Oddly, the new model will not co...
Earlier this week, Club Nintendo had teased that multicolored 3DS XL charging cradles would be available; each cradle would come in five different colors with a Club Nintendo price of 500 coins. Within a hour of its initial release, the charging cradles were officially sold out. No word from Club Nintendo on whether the multicolored 3DS XL charging cradles would again become available. But given t...
Although Club Nintendo has offered fans some really awesome stuff in the past, I can’t help but admit that the rewards service has been suffering from a bit of a drought for some time now.

Living in America is great, we have freedom of speech, religion, equal rights, and many other perks that a lot of countries do not have. But there is one thing that we do not have, and that is new 3DS colors and bundles that Europe and Japan are getting! For starters, Japan is getting some sexy new bundles. The New Super Mario Bros. 2 bundle is red with iconic Mario symbols adorning the case o...
When the 3DS was initially launched, a big complaint was the lack of the second circle pad. Since most console controllers (Wii controller excluded) are shipped standard with two analogs, the circle pad on the 3DS is a move in the right direction. The low profile design keeps the device compact while still allowing the ease of control that an analog does. So why not include two? Our requests we...
